Apple today seeded the second beta of OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan to public beta testers, two days after releasing the second beta to developers and a week after seeding the first OS X 10.11.2 public beta. Today's update comes two weeks after the public launch of OS X El Capitan 10.11.1.

The second OS X 10.11.2 beta is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store to those who are enrolled in Apple's beta testing program. Those wishing to join the program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website.

The first OS X 10.11.2 beta did not include any outward-facing changes, but it likely includes bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance improvements to address issues discovered since the release of OS X 10.11.1. Apple's release notes for the initial developer beta asked testers to focus on Graphics, Wi-Fi, Calendar, USB, Notes, Photos, and Spotlight.

Let's hope they fix audio too! A lot of pro audio interfaces quit working with El Capitan and the last update didn't address that.

Apple better step it up if the hope to deliver the iPad Pro by the official, reliable, set-in-stone launch date of November 11 (as promised by the absolutely not a rumor site 9to5Mac, six days ago).
 
I do not see anyone reporting anything that was actually fixed. Has anyone run into something that is working better now? Personally, I have not noticed anything.

Hope this fixes the unacceptably slow SMB that has been destroying the productivity of professional Mac users in business settings since 10.8 although maybe I should just accept it or switch to Windows because apparently expecting the biggest, wealthiest and most powerful computer company on the planet that charges a premium because "it just works" to fix their egregiously broken software is going to make their fanboys unhappy if it doesn't affect everyone everywhere.

I think you should switch and be happy. If I were in your position, that's what I'd do. Life is too short.

Seriously, they broke USB on 10.11.0. Time to see if it works. IOKit seriously borked and software cannot take control away from OS X, OS X just takes control back every time.

USB does not function in a VM environment.
