Apple issues third OS X 10.11.2 beta to public testers

Apple late in the day on Wednesday released a third beta version of the upcoming OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan update to registered public beta program testers.

The latest El Capitan beta comes one day after Apple issued a third test version to developers with minor bug fixes and performance improvements. The forthcoming update is not expected to hold major feature additions, but should bring the usual assortment of backend.

As with the developer build, Apple asks public beta testers to focus on Calendar, graphics, Mail, networking, Notes, Photos, Spotlight, USB and Wi-Fi, features under constant refinement. The company has been on a one-week schedule in pushing out OS X betas, the most recent of which contained minor changes to the same focus areas.

Members of the public beta program can download the latest OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan beta via Software Update in the Mac App Store or through the Apple Beta Software Program website.
