Release notes

What changed

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

Preserved Apple-authored PDF

An eight-page PDF created on release day retains the Beta 5 title, section structure, and explicit status markers. A contemporaneous publisher transcript independently preserves the same body.[1][2][3]

Structured milestone delta

This page carries 26 records: 12 explicit fixes, 12 current issues, and 2 API or behavior changes. Cumulative statements without a Beta 5 marker are excluded.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]

Preservation boundary

The PDF is a third-party preservation copy of Apple-authored developer material. Every reader-facing sentence is original synthesis, short API names are retained only for identification, and editorial approval does not convert the mirror into first-party hosting.[56][57]
