Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 4 appeared on 2009-04-28. Contemporaneous sources support that route identity, while each indexed item below keeps its own evidence and documentation state.[1][2][3][4]

What Beta 4 documents

This archive page contains 15 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]

Selection boundary

Nine records preserve the operational boundaries in Apple's two-page installation advisory. Six narrower tool and interface observations are synthesized from contemporaneous reporting and retain weaker documentation labels.[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]
