Following on from today’s release of the first betas of iOS 9.2 and Xcode 7.2, Apple has also seeded the first beta of OS X 10.11.2 to developers. The release comes just a week after the final 10.11.1 update was issued to help resolves problems with Office 2016, Mail, and VoiceOver, but there are still some other bugs yet to be fixed, though most users will be unaware of them. Focus areas for the new build (15C27e) include graphics, Wi-Fi, Mail, Calendar, USB, Notes, Photos, and Spotlight.
Many of the issue are thought to revolve around syncing, though in the case of Mail, MacNN has seen numerous reports of problems connecting to POP3-type email accounts. The update is currently only available through Apple’s developer portal, and the Mac App Store for registered developer accounts. It is unclear if Apple will issue a “public” beta version for pre-registered public beta testers of this first 10.11.2 release, but the company has recently begun offering public versions of the betas shortly after the developer version is released.
