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 May 4. The initial posting was briefly removed after an SDK installer problem and subsequently returned; the evidence supports one named Beta 3 milestone, not a separately named revision route.[1][2][3]

What this page indexes

Beta 3 has 14 structured records. Reader-facing titles and summaries are original synthesis, while short locators identify the evidence used for each factual statement.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Selection method

Eleven entries come from Beta 3-specific upgrade, removal, new-issue, fixed, and simulator statements in the preserved Apple document. Three observed records cover the temporary withdrawal, the orientation lock, and the iPod controls with explicit non-Apple documentation labels.[22][23][24][25][26]

Evidence gaps

Cumulative FIXED lines already present in Beta 2 are not reassigned to Beta 3. A distinct reissue identity and build number are not created because the public evidence does not establish a separately named seed.[22][23][24][25][26]
