Release notes

What changed

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

Release identity and boundary

The second seed arrived on November 12. The narrative on two pages identifies build 10B5105c, while an embedded social post on the detailed report drops one digit and shows 10B105c; the conflict is recorded instead of converted into a build document.[1][2]

Selected milestone record

Observed changes restored Panorama and per-song iTunes Match downloads and revised Passbook's explanatory card. The preserved developer notes also describe Simulator and social-framework constraints, while two Beta 3 note copies retrospectively confirm that Beta 2 still blocked iCloud storage-plan changes.[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
