I really hope this fixes the issues with 10.11.1 not being able to connect to the LAN port from the iPhone simulator. Xcode 7.1 works fine on anything running 10.10.
Got a tip for us?

Does it fix the weird visual bug in program expose?
It puts weird blue glow around files and windows whereas in the rest of mission control there are nice solid blue borders.
And there's also a barely noticable line going across program expose.
Really annoys me

Don't know where you are getting this from, it runs fine.
Egregiously broken software, where are you talking about? Seriously, you think Windows has less issues.....dream on.

My OS is functioning very close to an SSD with these updates now I've noticed. On a 7200 HDD currently.
Windows and older Macs have NO issues accessing SMB shares. This problem has been present in the last 4 versions of OS X and Apple has done little to nothing to address it. Go search their user forums or Google it. There is no shortage of people complaining about it.
And yes, egregiously broken. An older Mac or Windows client can list a directory on an SMB share containing 400+ files in a matter of 2-3 seconds. El Capitan (and Yosemite and Mavericks...) take upward of 3 minutes to list that same directory. File copying takes twice as long.
That is the very definition of egregiously broken.
And once again, I've updated to this new beta and all those problems are still there.
It's not me personally. It's my workplace. And yes, the discussions have turned to switching to Windows which is unfortunate. Macs are so much easier to deal with but the SMB problem is a time-waster and a productivity-killer. That one problem is going to cause my workplace to go all-Windows. Sad.
I'm pretty much gonna guess this doesn't fix even one of the issues mentioned in the first 2 pages of this thread simply because I doubt any of them are on their radar. In any case, I'd appreciate hearing from any new imac users as to whether this one messes with the usb ports or audio interface drops like the first 10.11.2 beta did?
Certainly couldn't be an issue on the Windows side of things.
I have zero issues with slow SMB on all of our networks and across thousands of machines.
I agree 100%. It is incredibly annoying to have Safari freeze things up. Even after a clean install, the problem persists. Other than this, most of the OS upgrade has been very good.
I've done some research and discovered that un-checking "tap to click" for the trackpad resolves this "random" freezing, as the kernel messages refer to a trackpad error, something that apparently loves to occur when Safari is in use. I happen to love tap to click, however. Thus, this solution is not a good solution.
This problem did not occur in the previous OS, which is what many others have also said.
There aren't any once a week updates. This is the beta program, where it's useful to have relatively fresh code. Otherwise bug reports become less useful.
Updates are once a month-ish.

Considering that SMB works properly on Windows, and not on OS X, yeah, it's not a Windows thing. If it was, you'd see the same issues on that platform as well.
SMB definitely isn't fixed, though. Taking minutes to list directory contents, even small directories, and poor file transfer performance still persist, and it's seriously hurting the productivity of Mac users at my (and many other) companies.

Ditto.
Any signs that disappearing sidebar when saving will be fixed? (I've already gone to the Finder preferences to check that everything is checked. The problem isn't when I am in a Finder window, but when I'm trying to save or move a file).

Probably doesn't fix the Intel 4000 flickering/crashing issues that were introduced back in 10.10.3 in some of the systems either...

It could be an issue with Windows. It's specific to SMB shares hosted on Windows 2008 and 2012 servers.
However, someone at Apple admitted to me it was a problem with OS X.
I called Apple support when we were on Yosemite and was escalated to their engineering group, one of whom did a remote session into the machine to witness it for himself. Once he saw it, he admitted that it's a known issue with OS X and then hinted it was going to be fixed in El Capitan.
So far, that hasn't materialized.
I’m NOT a developer but a long-term committed user and have just upgraded my late 2009 iMac with a top-of-the-range 27inch iMac, using, obviously, El Cap.
Generally it works well but problems I have are:
Generally it works well but problems I have are:
- Mail. In the LH summary column, clicking on an email often elicits nothing. I have to open a previous opened email and then revisit the one I really wanted to open. Sometimes I’ve noticed that this behaviour is linked to red or blue areas to the LH or RH parts of the summary column and I have to scroll the mouse to get rid of them. Notice ‘sometimes’.
- Safari. Some urls from websites won’t open. Again, I need to revisit other website urls and revisit the one I wanted - after a wait.
- Photos - a similar theme - pressing ‘esc’ does not always work; one needs to activate another slideshow and then to revert to the one I need. None of that above 3 ‘issues’ noted on previous X10 software releases.
- Nikon software won’t install from new. One needs to revisit Yosemite. Even then it crashes! (As it did before - but not so often).
- BW
LOL, the update fixed it. Phew!safari is causing the system to beachball like there is no tomorrow!
We use an SMB share at my office. I have a 2012 MBP running El Capitan 10.11.1. I have no significant delays in accessing files or opening folders on this shared drive. The most files I have in one single folder on the network is 642. The folder opens in less than one second. I use Chronosync to sync folders between my mac and the SMB directory daily, with no issues. Perhaps I have the benefit of fast networking (we now have Cat5e in the walls I believe, and gigabit switches) which may hide problems with El Capitan's implementation of SMB shares. I have attached a screenshot to show you that this drive is attached using SMB. My point is, for me SMB is not broken on my mac, therefore I am not sure it is a universal problem.
EDIT: Not sure how to insert image into posting anymore. Any advice?
