Release notes

What changed

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

Milestone identity

The third iOS 4.2 seed arrived on October 12 with a matching SDK and a second iTunes 10.1 beta. The later 4.2.1 public name does not retroactively replace this milestone’s 4.2 identity.[1][2]

Indexed evidence

This page indexes 3 bounded occurrences. Titles and summaries are original synthesis; source locators identify the specific evidence family behind each record.[3]

Evidence limits

The identity report had no detailed note body. A companion observation article supplies three narrow deltas; its broad performance, bug-fix, and unspecified visual characterizations are not converted into records.[1][2]
