Developers received a new beta update for macOS Sierra today, less than a week after Apple dropped the last beta build full of bug fixes.

macOS Sierra 10.12.1 beta 2 can be downloaded directly from the Apple Developer Center, or via the Mac App Store’s software update menu if you have the previous build installed on your Mac.

The release notes for the new beta build don’t mention any major changes. Apple simply states that the “macOS Sierra 10.12.1 update improves the stability, compatibility, and security of your Mac.”

Apple just publicly released macOS Sierra last week, bringing a host of new features and improvements, including Apple Pay, Siri, a universal clipboard, optimized storage, picture in picture and much more.

The first beta build of macOS Sierra 10.12.1 featured only minor changes like adding support to Photos for the iPhone 7 Plus’ new portrait feature. We’ll let you know if we find any new surprises once we’ve dug into the update.
