Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

Evidence that survives

The 22-page Beta 4 PDF contains 206 bullets and 192 distinct issue identifiers. Twenty-two substantive additions or status transitions survive the exclusions. The source is Apple-authored developer material retained by a public historical mirror, so this page records the mirror provenance instead of presenting it as an Apple-hosted beta archive.[1]

What Beta 4 documents

This structured snapshot contains 22 narrowly attributed feature, behavior, compatibility, issue, or resolution records. Each occurrence keeps its Apple component, status heading, and issue identifier where Apple supplied one.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]

Delta boundary

The Beta 4 PDF was parsed against Beta 3 by component, status heading, issue identifier, and normalized record text. A carried Metal statement explicitly attributed to Beta 2 and a grammar-only SafariServices edit are excluded.[46][47]

Archive limitations

The article does not reproduce Apple’s document, import publisher commentary, claim an exhaustive user-visible changelog, or infer a build number. Apple’s final archived SDK page establishes the final-document boundary but is not used to assign final-state records to this beta.[48]
