Release notes

What changed

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

Second developer seed

A release-day report identifies the second iOS 5.0.1 beta on November 4, two days after the opening seed.[1]

Narrow evidence boundary

No public changelog was available at the time. One contemporaneous account connected Beta 2 to activation failures in the prior build and reported no broader visible delta, so only that repair is structured here.[2][3][4]

End of the beta interval

The first-party Public notice followed on November 10. This archive batch adds no intermediate route and makes no build-number claim.[5]
