14 DAY TRIAL // Immediately after informing registered developers about the immediate availability of the first Beta build of the upcoming iOS 9.3 mobile operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices, Apple started seeding Mac OS X 10.11.4 Beta 1 to developers worldwide.
While the third maintenance release in the El Capitan series is still in development, with a second Beta build out the door last week, it looks like Apple does not waste any time, as they've started work on the fourth point release, which should be available to users worldwide later this year.
Mac OS X 10.11.4 Beta 1 has been tagged as build 15E27e, and it can be redeemed from your Apple Developer account on the Mac App Store application. As usual, you can download it from the SDKs section, under OSX. There are no details on whether Public Beta testers can get this build right now or not.
At the moment of writing this article, Apple has not provided developers with any specifics about what was fixed in Mac OS X 10.11.4 Beta 1, nor the upcoming features prepared for the final release, but it will most certainly improve the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac.
The development cycle of Mac OS X 10.11.4 has just started, but registered developers should forget about it and concentrate on the soon-to-be-released Mac OS X 10.11.3 maintenance release, which should see the light of day this spring if everything goes according to plan.
