Apple seeds OS X El Capitan beta 5 to AppleSeed testers (update: pulled for now)

Update: Public beta testers may not see the update currently as it appears to have been pulled for now.

Apple has pushed out the fifth public beta version of OS X 10.11 “El Capitan.” The update brings bug fixes and tweaks the pre-release operating system in preparation for its launch later this year.

The new beta comes with a build number of 15A262c, putting it ahead of the current developer build 15A244d. The previous public beta was build number 15A243d.

Users running the current preview build should be able to download the new version now from the Updates tab on the Mac App Store.

So far the only noticeable change in this new beta is the addition of some color to logo on the About This Mac screen:

    Anyone,
    Is After Effects CC 2015 working on this built?

    Wait,
    Why is this one Beta 5 (released at the end of July)? Isn’t this Beta 7 already?

      You’re thinking of Developer Beta, this is a public beta.

      PB was at 4th beta before today, DB was at 6th. Right now, it is PB at 5 but DB is at 6th.

        Good point,
        It wasn’t immediately clear from the title of the article.

        AppleSeed is the public beta program.

    This is a Public Beta not the Appleseed version. Appleseeders are already on DP Version 6 as of two weeks.,

      Same program. Logging into the AppleSeed website redirects to the public beta website. Developers are on DP6, not public beta testers.

    Fixed an annoying issue with SSL certificates in Google Chrome (didn’t affect Safari for whatever reason)

    It seems that iMessage 9.0 is broken in this Version. This could be the reason for the pull back.
