Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 5 appeared on 2009-05-06. Contemporaneous sources support that route identity, while each indexed item below keeps its own evidence and documentation state.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

What Beta 5 documents

This archive page contains 12 narrowly attributed historical records. All titles, summaries, and explanatory prose are original synthesis, with source locators retained for verification.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]

Selection boundary

The compatibility policy is preserved in an Apple-authored message and contemporary coverage. Interface observations remain labeled undocumented, and the reported StoreKit revision is deliberately limited because no member-level note survived this research pass.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

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][5][6]
