Apple provides fifth beta of OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan to developers, public testers
Apple on Monday supplied a fifth beta of its forthcoming OS X 10.11.2 update for El Capitan, providing a new-release build to both registered developers and members of the public beta program.
OS X El Capitan 10.11.2 Public Beta 5 is now available to download from the Mac App Store. It is identified as build 15C48a.
Apple has again warned testers to install the update on a system or partition they are prepared to erase if necessary.
Focus areas in the fifth beta are Graphics, Mail, Wi-Fi, Calendar, USB, Notes, Photos, Spotlight, and Networking.
The new beta launches less than two weeks after the fourth beta of OS X 10.11.2 was issued. Apple had been pushing out new updates weekly, but likely took last week off for the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S.
Apple last month formally released the OS X 10.11.1 update to address issues with Office 2016, Mail, VoiceOver and more. The software also included unspecified performance enhancements and more than 150 new emoji characters.

And IMO could use a little more Scott Forstall 'ease of use' influence back into the software design. Not full on skeuomorphism... but just more intent/focus for ease of discovery/use.
Hoping the general release of 10.11.2 is accompanied by updated Mac Pros and MacBook Pros.
We’re too late in the year for that, aren’t we? Maybe February.

Yes, and you're beginning to grasp my disappointment (a.k.a. exasperation) with Apple.
