Apple today seeded the third beta of an upcoming OS X 10.11.4 update to public beta testers, just a few days after releasing the third OS X 10.11.4 beta to developers and more than two weeks after releasing OS X 10.11.3.
The third beta is available through the Software Update mechanism in the Mac App Store for those who are enrolled in Apple's beta testing program. Those wishing to join the program can sign up on Apple's beta testing website.
OS X 10.11.4 appears to focus largely on under-the-hood bug fixes, security enhancements, and performance optimizations with few noticeable outward-facing changes. OS X 10.11.4 offers password protected notes in the Notes app, an import function for importing Evernote notes into the Notes app, and it includes Live Photos support for the Messages app.
Apple is likely to release OS X 10.11.4 in the spring, alongside iOS 9.3, watchOS 2.2, and tvOS 9.2.

I haven't had a single issue or notice a single bug on my MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015).I feel sorry for those who do, but leave me out of it. ;)
As usual, Apple needs to do the following:
The green button’s behavior already contains that option and has since day one. It’s called the Option key. Hold it down while clicking the green button and you get the classic behavior.* Get rid of root as Apple's effectively given 3rd party developers the finger

I don't know the only thing they seem to be moving and working on is the new campus. Hope they get that done soon so they can focus on their software.
Do you really believe that Apple's software engineers, leads, managers, and directors are being sidetracked with new campus construction responsibilities?
