Release notes

What changed

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

What survives

Internet Archive captured the page on July 22, one day after release. Its complete 29-record fixed inventory is normalization-identical to the current page and retains Apple’s internal anchors and component hierarchy.[1]

What Beta 4 documents

This structured snapshot contains 29 narrowly attributed Apple developer-note records. The index preserves the component and milestone status for each item while rewriting the factual result in original language.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]

Selection boundary

All 29 non-workaround records beneath exact “Fixed in beta 4” headings are retained from the Apple-markup transcript. General notes, known issues, publisher commentary, and workaround text are excluded.[31]

Archive limitations

This page is a structured historical index, not a reproduction of Apple’s document or an exhaustive list of every user-visible change. It excludes publisher commentary, workaround prose, community observations, unavailable build claims, and the already-owned Public route.[32]
