SDK devsugar: Finding beta seed differences

Just a quick heads up to developers: Are you struggling to determine what changes between one beta release and the next? There's an easy solution. Head on over to the pre-release reference library. This site lives behind the normal Apple firewall and can only be accessed by members of the paid ($99) iPhone developer program.

Normally, Apple's documentation on the main beta release page (also behind the paid developer wall) lists only those differences between the last major firmware version (currently 3.2) and the newest beta (currently 4.0 beta 2). Over the last few days, I've been able to point quite a few people over to the document that shows the differences the previous beta (4.0 beta 1) and the current (4.0 beta 2). By checking in there, you can easily see what's new right away when a beta build drops. Hopefully this will save some of you a bit of extra work.

Thanks, Emanuele Vulcano!

I'd like to know when 3.2 for the iPhone is going to drop. or is Apple going to go straight to 4.0 and leave the rest of us 2G and 3G owners orphaned with 3.1.3 and its wifi problems?

The iPhone 3G will get OS 4.0, its only the original that will not.

Doesn't the iPad's 3.2 have Wi-Fi problems of its own?

Looks like we took a step backwards on this one. But i noticed a few changes in the UI.

Bravo! You got to use the word "sugar" again, in the oxygen-deprived TUAW insider echo chamber! I look forward to seeing this trite slang again within a few days. Good work. Get it in there every chance you get!

Thanks! I had always wondered why I could only see differences between the current version and the last major version.

Changes not listed in the document: all kinds of broken and/or wonky things going on.

(I suppose I can't elaborate further because of the NDA...)
