Apple is usually extremely secretive when it comes to publishing detailed change-log with beta versions of iOS. Changes in terms that actually affect the end-user there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of information being offered through the release documentation. Developers in particular have a plethora of changes and additions to get to grips with. An important fix surrounding HTTP requests has been bundled with this latest version of beta along with a number of amendments within the CoreText framework that allow devs to integrate advanced text techniques into their third-party apps.
One fix inside this beta could present a noticeable benefit to the end-user focuses on a bug that caused app loading an iTunes Match library to take an extended time to load. Hopefully that the bug has been fixed along with improvements to multipeer connectivity and enhancements to the UIKit framwork that allows developers to make sure of standard user-interface components that are common through most apps.
