Apple today seeded the first beta of an upcoming OS X El Capitan update to developers, two weeks before OS X El Capitan will be released to the public on September 30.

The new beta, build 15B17c, is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store and through the Apple Developer Center.

It is not clear what improvements the first update to OS X El Capitan will bring, but it's likely to include bug fixes and performance improvements for issues that have been encountered following the operating system's official release.

Update: OS X 10.11.1 includes support for Unicode 8 and a range of 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 currently in testing as well.

Contacts are terrible on GM. Can't even add a contact to a group without relaunching the app 10 times.
 
probably no other GM candidate. whatever did not get fixed will be included in this version.
 
Just installed it. Definitely some graphical glitches when installing. It's like the installation screen was shoved to the bottom left and I could see the login screen behind it. Then once logging in after the update the screen resolution had to kick back into my previous setting (brand new macbook 13")
 
This being released doesn't mean it's impossible for Apple to release another GM, or for the public release to not incorporate changes from the GM that was released recently.

As an example, iOS 9 public release differed from iOS 9 GM.

Still have the problem with Thunderbolt display and a cold boot. Both screens will go black with just a cursor recognizing the TB display. Hard shutdown, unplug, restart, wait for boot then plug back in TB for both screens to light up.
 
Good idea.

End users should only use beta software if they're 100% comfortable with trading stability for a preview of what's coming up.
Yeah...it's a fine line deciding between the two. But at this point I think I'd rather stability. The one exception might be betas for iOS 10. None of this iOS 9.1 and El Capitan nonsense. lol
