The next Mac operating system will be a slight upgrade to OS X Yosemite and will be called OS X El Capitan, Apple announced Monday at their Worldwide Developers Conference.

According to Gizmodo, the new operating system will be available in its beta version to developers starting Monday. In July, the public will be given access to a beta, and the full version will be released as a free upgrade this fall.

Instead of getting a whole new look or a ton of new features, OS X El Capitan will give Mac users a new feel to their operating system. More gesture controls will be featured and OS X will feel more like iOS.

The hint that El Capitan would be a small upgrade came with the name. El Capitan is a famous mountain in Yosemite National Park. Instead of switching the name, Apple went with something inside Yosemite for this upgrade. 

El Capitan will let users swipe two fingers across the trackpad and a message will be deleted. That is just like swiping to delete e-mails on iOS. Additionally, if a song is playing in the background somewhere and a user wants to kill it without searching for where it came from, a simple tap on the trackpad will mute it. 

El Capitan will be user-friendly to those who want to multi-task. A "split view" feature will let users use multiple apps in full screen by putting them side-by-side, Business Insider reported.

Performance with El Capitan will also improve. Apple says that apps will launch 1.4 times faster and switching between apps will be twice as fast. Opening up a preview of a PDF will happen four times faster than in the past.

Users wanting to play advanced games will be pleased to see Metal, a graphics acceleration feature that started with iOS which has now been brought to Mac.

More product announcements are expected at this year's WWDC event from Apple.
