Release notes

Overview

Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.

iOS 7.1.1 further improved Touch ID recognition and corrected keyboard responsiveness and Bluetooth-keyboard behavior when VoiceOver was enabled.[1]

The security update also repaired incomplete HTTP header handling, kernel-pointer exposure, an SSL renegotiation weakness, and multiple WebKit memory-corruption issues.[2][3]
