Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 3 appeared on 2009-04-14. Contemporaneous sources support that route identity, while each indexed item below keeps its own evidence and documentation state.[1][2][3][4]

What Beta 3 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.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

Selection boundary

Thirteen relevant toolchain entries come from a retained Apple-authored SDK seed-note transcription and form a Beta 3 baseline rather than a claim of first appearance. Two compilers that explicitly require the Mac OS X SDK and the macOS-only Carbon-controls item are excluded. Four additional user-visible observations remain explicitly undocumented.[1][2][3][4]

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][2][3][4]
