Apple has seeded a new beta build of OS X El Capitan to developers this morning in the form of OS X 10.11.4 beta 4.

The new beta build can be downloaded directly from Apple’s Developer Member Center, or via the Software Update option in the Mac App Store if your Mac is already rolling on the last El Capitan beta.

A list of new features weren’t included in the release notes for beta 4, however previous versions included new features like password-protected entries for Notes and Live Photo support in Messages. Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements have also been added.

Apple’s release notes ask developers to focus on iBooks, Messages, Notes and Photos. We’ll see if any other new features are hiding inside once we get the new build installed.
