Today – 30 September 2015 – is the release date for OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

This seems more of an ‘under-the-hood’ release, with most of the improvements being performance-related, similar to the recent iOS 9 update.

  • Notes app overhauled
  • Mail improvements
  • Safari 9, including “pinned tabs”
  • Maps – public transport maps and directions
  • Metal graphics API
