Apple issues fourth beta of OS X 10.10.4 to developers, public with focus on Photos & Migration

By AppleInsider Staff

Apple on Tuesday issued a new beta of OS X 10.10.4, a forthcoming maintenance and security update for Yosemite, with an identical new build being supplied to both developers and public beta testers.

Identified as build 14E26a, the latest beta of OS X 10.10.4 is available from the Mac App Store for registered developers, and members of the OS X public beta program.

Apple has asked testers to focus on Photos, Migration, and support for Arabic and Hebrew languages when using the software.

The latest beta arrives just over two weeks after the third beta of OS X 10.10.4 was issued. Apple has recently provided OS X beta releases on Mondays, but likely held this release until Tuesday in recognition of Monday's Memorial Day holiday in the U.S.

Apple will show off the next-generation version of OS X, assumed to be OS X 10.11, at WWDC when it starts on June 8. The general public will likely have to wait a few months before they get their hands on the next Mac software update.
