Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Evidence that survives
The 23-page Beta 7 PDF contains 221 bullets and 204 distinct issue identifiers. Apple assigns issue 30567424 to both the new Classroom item and a carried CloudKit item, so the locator always includes the component. 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 7 documents
This structured snapshot contains 3 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]
Delta boundary
The Beta 7 PDF was compared directly with Beta 6. Line-wrap-only and carried records were normalized away; three substantive records remain.[8][9]
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.[10]
