Release notes

What changed

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

Milestone identity

A contemporary report identifies Apple’s first iOS 7.1 developer seed on November 18. The retained developer-note copies and hands-on report agree on that milestone boundary.[1]

Indexed evidence

This page indexes 18 bounded occurrences. Titles, summaries, and explanatory prose are original synthesis; each record points to its supporting evidence family.[2][3]

Evidence limits

The private Apple note page is no longer available as a native Beta 1 document. Developer-note claims below come from two credited contemporary copies; interface observations remain separately labeled.[4]

Source ledger
