Apple on Tuesday released OS X El Capitan 10.11.3, a new point release that the company says brings bug fixes and security updates to the venerable desktop operating system.
There is no word yet on what specific changes Apple has made, but it figures to be a less wide-ranging update than OS X 10.11.2. That release brought improved Wi-Fi reliability, enhancements to Handoff and AirDrop, and fixes for problems with Mail and iCloud Photo Sharing.
Apple had previously provided developers with two beta releases of 10.10.3. The last preview dropped on Jan. 6.
OS X 10.11.3 is available now via the Updates tab of the Mac App Store.

I just installed 10.11.3 on a month old Macbook Pro 15" (w/ discrete gfx). I have never had a system crash or problem on this MBP at all. Within 10 minutes of installing the 10.11.3 update, my keyboard and touchpad became unresponsive while using Chrome. The force click sound of the touchpad was gone. I could put the laptop to sleep, but the keyboard still wouldn't respond after waking up which made it impossible to log in, so I had to hard boot it. Yay.
After a myriad of little problems, especially with iTunes with my rMBP after installing the last update to OS-X (which did sort themselves out after a little while...somehow) I'm holding off on this.
I have a mid 2012 MBP. It has always been rock solid. No issues yet with the latest update.
