Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Release milestone
GM appeared on 2009-06-08. Contemporaneous sources support that route identity, while each indexed item below keeps its own evidence and documentation state.[1][2][3][4]
What GM documents
This archive page contains 6 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]
Selection boundary
This route indexes the defensible final developer milestone and only the retained GM-specific state. It does not copy the later public release notes or infer an unpublished build identity.[1][2][3][4]
