Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
Milestone identity
The third developer beta appeared on March 12, after the public iOS 8.2 release. Its two newly reported surfaces concerned message organization and the installed Watch companion.[1]
Indexed evidence
This page indexes 2 bounded occurrences. Every title and explanation is original synthesis, and each claim points to the retained evidence family that supports it.[2][3]
Evidence limits
The first public iOS beta used this same binary later that day and is indexed separately as a distribution route, without duplicating these feature claims.[4]
