Release notes

What changed

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

Preserved Apple note state

The first retained raw Apple DocC state after visionOS 2 Beta 1 and before Beta 2 identifies itself as visionOS 2 Beta Release Notes. It contains 131 normalized list records, 128 of them carrying a retained issue identifier.[1]

Representative Beta 1 inventory

This page structures 12 high-signal entries across user-facing behavior, compatibility, privacy, and developer APIs. It is a selective index of the preserved state, not a reproduction of Apple's complete list.[1]

Attribution boundary

The archive establishes that these entries were present during the Beta 1 interval. It does not establish their exact publication hour, and nothing from a later cumulative state is projected backward.[1]
