Along with the release of new betas for iOS 9 and watchOS 2, Apple has seeded a fourth beta of OS X 10.11 El Capitan to developers today. The release comes nearly two weeks since the last beta was made available to developers are well as public testers.

The new beta can be downloaded from the Mac App Store, but you’ll need to log into the Developer Center first to get a code. Users running the previous El Capitan beta should see it as an automatic update in the Updates section of the Mac App Store.

Apple’s release notes for OS X 10.11 El Capitan beta 4 don’t mention any major improvements or features other than the standard batch of bug fixes and performance adjustments. We’ll be sure to let you know if there are any new features hiding in the beta once we get it installed on our machines.
