DS 4.x and OS X.11 El Cap'n? Anyone? Buller?

OS X 10.11.0 El Capitan ships 09/30/15 and is free to all mac users with a "recent" mac* and above. Its fair to say the public beta in it's current stage will for the most part represent the final released product in the forthcoming fortnight (Yes! I got to use that word in a sentence without quoting someone from Game of Thrones!)

Has anyone tried DS4.x in the OS 10.11.beta and run into issues at this time?

* 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)

    DAZ is the one thing right now that makes me slower to upgrade. With the advent of Iray, and my subsequent installation of an Nvidia GPU in my Mac Pro (old tower), I've had to wait for driver/CUDA support from Nvidia.

    I know that if El Capitan is smart, he would've decoupled OpenCL drivers from Apple updates, so we can use that acceleration!

    I read a sentence on the blender website that eluded to the developers possibly saying the OpenCL tools have been fixed in 10.11.0

    I use El Capitan (all beta versions and GM including 10.11.1 beta) with DAZ Studio 4.8.0.59 and have no problem.

    Yes, DAZ Studio 4.8.0.59 doesn't take advantage of Metal, so eveything is as slow as in Yosemite.

    Well good to know Apple didn't really break and/or fix anything either.
