Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 1 appeared on 2009-03-17. Contemporaneous sources support that route identity, while each indexed item below keeps its own evidence and documentation state.[1]

What Beta 1 documents

This archive page contains 18 narrowly attributed historical records. All titles, summaries, and explanatory prose are original synthesis, with source locators retained for verification.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

Selection boundary

This is the first retained feature and API baseline. It does not assert that every listed capability first appeared in the downloadable bits on that day; it records the scope Apple publicly attached to the opening developer seed.[1]

Archive limitations

This archive does not reproduce publisher articles or confidential developer material. Unsupported build numbers, speculative features, long excerpts, and the separately owned Public route are excluded.[1]
