After releasing the last El Capitan beta one week ago, Apple has seeded the sixth beta of OS X 10.11 El Capitan this afternoon, full of new fixes and features for developers.

The sixth El Capitan beta doesn’t appear to come with an major new features, but mostly focuses on bug fixes and performance improvements. This is the second week in a row that Apple has released a new beta for the upcoming desktop operating system, possibly signaling that the GM version isn’t too far away

Developers can grab the new update from the Apple Developer Center or via the Software Update section in the Mac App Store if you already have the previous beta installed. We’ll let you know if we find any big additions once we get it installed on your machines.
