Apple Releases First OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan Public Beta

by

Apple today seeded the first beta of OS X 10.11.1 El Capitan to public beta testers, just days after first releasing the beta to developers and roughly a week and a half before OS X El Capitan will be released to the public on September 30.

The new beta is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store.

The first beta of OS X 10.11.1 introduced support for Unicode 8 and new emoji like taco, burrito, cheese wedge, hot dog, middle finger, and unicorn head. The emoji are also included in iOS 9.1, which is also in testing.

Beyond new emoji, there have been no other outward-facing changes discovered, suggesting OS X 10.11.1 is a minor update that will bring bug fixes and performance enhancements. According to Apple's release notes, the beta offers stability, compatibility, and security improvements.

I'm beginning to sour on the public betas. I had an issue with my Mac Pro a few weeks ago, and Apple's Tech Support flatly refused to help me because I was running the beta. They told me to wait for the "legitimate" El Capitan release and then call them back.
Zero sympathy. You knew exactly what you're getting into. If you didn't, now you know. Your job is to report the bugs, not ask for them to be fixed by tech support on the spot.

is there a way to get out of public beta? Outside of formatting?

Lmao. Another day, another forum user with issues. I hope my signature is visible to you. You're on ignore now. I don't go on Internet to have idiotic fights.
Please, don't try to be a wise ass and try to make everything personal. If you don't like us don't post here. You seem to be exactly what your signature states.

eh, why am I wasting my time on this anyways?
