Apple Seeds OS X 10.11 El Capitan Beta 5 to Developers and Public Testers

Apple has recently seeded the fifth pre-release build of OS X 10.11 El Capitan to developers for testing. The fourth beta was released only a week ago and the very first El Capitan version was officially announced in June at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference. As you probably know, this version of Apple’s desktop operating system can boast of a wide number of under-the-hood improvements, but lacks new features or noticeable design tweaks.

The build number of the latest update is 15A235d. Looks like the guys from Cupertino have decided to focus on making the system as stable and efficient as possible. Because of the aforementioned improvements, OS X 10.11 El Capitan boots up and opens apps faster than OS X Yosemite, moreover, graphics rendering is 40% now more efficient.

The list of improvements found in El Capitan contains new system font, redesigned Mission Control, enhancements for Safari and Spotlight and a number of other minor changes.

The fifth beta OS X 10.11 El Capitan is available for registered developers and the members of Apple’s public beta testing program. If you have one of these accounts, you can download OS X 10.11 Beta 5 right now.

As usual, because of stability and compatibility issues, I don’t recommend to install pre-release software on your main computer.
