Apple seeds fifth public beta of OS X El Capitan

Precisely two weeks following the release of OS X El Capitan public beta 4 and about three weeks after it seeded OS X El Capitan beta 5 to its registered developers, Apple today rolled out a fifth beta of the forthcoming Mac operating system update to public beta testers.

People who are on the beta program can download the new release through the Updates tab on the Mac App Store.

As far as what’s different in this public beta, it’s not clear what’s different just yet, but it’s more than likely that this public beta matches the sixth developer beta that was seeded on August 3, which means there won’t be many outward changes.

Here are the Macs that support OS X El Capitan:

• iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
• MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
• Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
• Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
• Xserve (Early 2009)

The update is available now for users already running the fourth public beta, and it’s available through the Updates section within the Mac App Store.
