Release notes

What changed

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

Release identity and boundary

Both identity reports state that the first seed had been called 6.1.1 Beta 1 and that emergency Public releases caused the continuing track to reappear as 6.1.3 Beta 2. The two labels remain distinct routes joined by an explicit lineage note.[1][2]

Selected milestone record

The Japan Maps work is represented as cumulative carry-forward rather than a fresh delta. The seed newly addressed the reported passcode bypass, and subsequent researcher testing found that its time-zone patch disrupted evasi0n.[3][4][5]
