Apple today released OS X 10.11.6 to the public, marking the sixth update to the El Capitan operating system that was first released on September 30, 2015. OS X 10.11.6 comes two months after the release of OS X 10.11.5, a small bug fix update. OS X 10.11.6 has been in testing since May 23.

The OS X 10.11.6 update can be downloaded through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store. It is available to all OS X El Capitan users.

Many of the updates to the El Capitan operating system have focused primarily on under-the-hood improvements, bug fixes, and security enhancements instead of outward-facing changes, and OS X 10.11.6 continues that trend.

OS X El Capitan will be followed by macOS Sierra, the next-generation Mac operating system that Apple announced at the 2016 Worldwide Developers Conference. macOS Sierra includes features like Siri integration, storage optimization, Photos improvements, auto unlocking with the Apple Watch, cross-device copy and paste, and more.

One must be a total idiot to rush into installing this.

Well, but then again, I guess it will be the same people who buy the new iPhone 7 with no-headphone "feature"

That's not a particularly fair comment. It's a .X update. It's been thoroughly tested and contains bug fixes/security enhancements.

At least it would, if it showed up in the App Store :D

There are new security updates for 10.9.5 and 10.10.5, so 10.11.6 must be coming shortly for real. The full installer in the App Store is listed as 10.11.6, too.
 
I have to see if Mac Pro rumor can be ruled out. The last rumor was the code name in El Capitan. If Mac OS arrives before Mac Pro...it's time to shut down buyer's advice for Mac Pro.
 
Maybe the will fix the excessive bandwidth issue so I don't get charged for using 500 gigs a month when I actually only use a 100. Doubt it.
