Before OS X 10.11 El Capitan launches to the public, its first forthcoming maintenance and security update is already available in beta form for developers to test.
The first beta release of OS X 10.11.1 was supplied to developers on Thursday. It is identified as build "15B17c."
Apple's accompanying notes state that update "improves the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac." Specifics on what changes or fixes might be found in the point-one release were not given.
Developers and public beta testers were given a golden master candidate of OS X 10.11 last week ahead of its public release. Apple will make OS X 10.11 El Capitan available as a free download on the Mac App Store Sept. 30.
El Capitan is largely a polish of last year's OS X 10.10 Yosemite, but will gain a handful of key new features like Split View, an enhanced Mission Control, and performance improvements.

Glad to see this. At some point you have shoot the engineers and start production. The release of iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 will be the most tested releases ever by Apple. Obviously there will be some loose ends to tie up and OS X 10.11.1 is out already for that purpose.
This time around the stupidity of the “Didn’t they test this?” crowd will be obvious.
I've been running 10.11 for weeks; through the last several DP releases. It is one hell of an improvement over Yosemite in so many small ways, and it's so buttery smooth in everything. Kudos Apple.

One thing I don't understand though is why does Appleinsider keep downplaying this update. It is very significant in my mind. Lots of good "new stuff" and silky smooth.
In the updated Safari, I don't want "Open in New Tabs", which shoves yet another set of tabs into the current window along side the existing tabs. I want the classic behavior, "Open in Tabs", which replaces all existing tabs with my selection.
Anybody know how to restore the old behavior?
Yeah, I was sure this was a bug but now it seems a feature...
