Apple on Tuesday released a completed OS X 10.11.2 update for El Capitan, dealing with a slate of bugs in the operating system.
The download is available through the Mac App Store's Updates tab, and addresses the "stability, compatibility, and security" of Macs, according to Apple. Specifically, release notes mention the following changes:
- Improves Wi-Fi reliability
- Improves the reliability of Handoff and AirDrop
- Fixes an issue that may cause Bluetooth devices to disconnect
- Fixes an issue that prevented Mail from deleting messages in an offline Exchange account
- Fixes an issue that prevented importing photos from an iPhone to a Mac using a USB cable
- Improves iCloud Photo Sharing for Live Photos
Apple seeded five betas of the update during its testing phase. OS X 10.11.1 was only released in late October, itself coming than month after El Capitan's premiere on Sept. 30.
OS X updates sometimes contain hidden changes. It's not yet clear if 10.11.2 might include a fix for things like empty VIP mailboxes in Mail.

It's not showing up yet for me as an update inside the App store 'updates' section. Just as the full OS download
Sometimes it takes a bit as Apple rolls it out for different users at different times.
I can confirm that the latest El Capitan update does not fix the FCPX graphical issue.
Hopeful that this will fix the constant crashes, sporadic failures to boot, freezing, overheating, etc that 10.11.1 brought to my and others 2012 Mac minis, leaving them Working only for short spells despite repeated reinstalls.. Waiting for the download to complete now!
I'm hoping for just a Mail fix that enables my connection back to my POP accounts. Was working, now they don't. I have to use the Thunderbird email client which works fine. I just prefer the Mail app UI better.
