Release notes

What changed

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

Release milestone

Beta 4 appeared on 2012-08-06. Its route identity is backed by contemporaneous publication records, while the change index below is derived from retained Apple-authored developer-note text.[1][2][3]

What Beta 4 documents

This review candidate contains 17 narrowly attributed records. Titles, summaries, and explanatory text are original synthesis; short component locators point readers back to the evidence.[4][5][6][7][2][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

Selection boundary

Eight non-Apple-TV, non-carry-forward fixed records and nine atomic records derived from six explicit Beta 4 developer-note change groups are retained. The independently reported built-in YouTube removal is the sole undocumented record.[1][2][3]

Archive limitations

This is a structured historical index, not a reproduction of Apple’s document and not a claim to exhaust every user-visible change. Unsupported build identities, publisher commentary, workaround prose, and the already-owned Public route are excluded.[1][2][3]
