Mac owners will finally be able to install OS X El Capitan on machines starting tomorrow, but if you want a taste of the future, registered developers can seed the latest beta of OS X 10.11.1 starting today.

The new beta comes over a week after the first OS X 10.11.1 beta was released to developers. That beta included a number of new emoji such as a taco, burrito, unicorn, middle finger, and a mysterious new eye in speech bubble that has stumped users.

Apple’s release notes for OS X 10.11.1 beta 2 don’t mention any new features, but claims the new software update “improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.”

Devs that have the OS X Software Update Seed Configuration Utility installed can grab the new software via the ‘Software Update’ option in the Apple menu. If not, you can grab build 15B22c directly from the Dev Center.
