Well... I'm optimistic that it will bring Exchange/Mail fixes back to El Capitan. I've always had unread email count problems, but requiring VPN to check work email was a new one with the GM.
Has it showed up for anybody? I have the dreaded "no updates available" I am here in California.
Who do you think you are, being all logical and reasoned and stuff? Quit being so level-headed and start whining!
Clearly Apple have changed their approach whilst developing OS X. Certainly in the case of El Capitan it is not just the developers that are getting their hands on the latest builds and this is most welcome.
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.

Taking this strategy of releasing Beta builds of OS X 10.11.1 before OS X 10.11 goes out to the Mac public indicates that Apple are keen to ensure El Capitan remains polished. After all El Capitan is Yosemite done properly much like Snow Leopard fixed the Leopard shortcomings.
This early Public Beta of OS X 10.11.1 should be welcomed as El Capitan has already surpassed Yosemite in terms of stability.
Running OS X 11.11.1 Public Beta 1 now.
Can you please describe your experience with OS X 10.11.1. It will be helpful for all users who have not yet jumped onto that update.
OK, I'm a little confused. I have been running the El Capitan public betas so far, but I am not seeing any update for the GM version. My last update to the beta was installed 9/3 and I haven't gotten any others since then. The release I'm running says its "10.11 Beta (15A278b)".
Should I be seeing something more current in my Updates tab?

Go to your Purchased Apps and you should see "OS X El Capitan GM Candidate" or something like that, download/install it and the 10.11.1 PB1 should appear in the Update section

perfect! thank you! i was looking for the GM as well!
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.
Yep.
iCloud contacts are jacked up and they act like you are running a form of alien software when calling for iCloud.
I may have to opt out of beta updates now, rather than on release day as planned.
The App Store keeps bugging me to install the 10.11.1 beta update.
Since I accidentally installed the GM candidate on my main disk, continuing beta updates isn't a good idea.
I only kept beta updates visible, in case there was a second GM candidate.

That did work for me.

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.
