Apple heeft iOS 7.1 beta (met build nummer 11D5099e) voor ontwikkelaars beschikbaar gesteld. Voor de meeste van ons niet zo interessant, we laten het testen van welke bugs daarin zitten liever aan diezelfde ontwikkelaars over, maar even kijken naar wat Apple aan het verbeteren is lijkt wel de moeite.

Daarom hieronder de lijst van wat er tot nu toe gevonden is dat in iOS 7.1 aangepast en verbeterd zal gaan worden:

• Speed improvements system wide including performance enhancements to animations.
  
• Notification Center changes including updated Yahoo logo (Weather app too!), new text dialogue when no notifications are present.
  
• Updated Flickr logo
  
• New Auto HDR In Camera that automatically enables HDR depending on scenery.
  
• New 'Dark Keyboard' Setting under Accessibility that allows you to set a dark keyboard at all times
  
• Music list in Music App has slightly updated view with more titles/tracks/artists in a list.
  
• Setting to allow upload burst mode photos to Photo Stream
  
• Setting text as bold no longer requires a reboot
  
• Launching multitasking is a fade instead of previous animation if Reduce Motion is set to off.
  
• Increase Contrast setting in Accessibility is now set to two functions, with a 'reduce transparency' option and a 'darken colors'
  
• Tweaked message for iPhone 5s users to enter passcode after reboot
  

Apple's eigen tekst bij deze update is voor de meeste van ons waarschijnlijk wat lastiger te lezen, maar misschien maakt dat duidelijk waarom wij denken dat gewone gebruikers beter van beta-versies af kunnen blijven:

• Previously, if the server-side closed an HTTP request with TCP FIN without sending any bytes of HTTP header or HTTP body, NSURLConnection would synthesize an empty HTTP/1.1 200 OK response. This is now fixed, and the request will result in an error instead of a successful load with a synthesized response.
  
• Previously, text drawn with CTFrameDraw did not correctly place lines to account for the paragraphSpacing attribute of NSParagraphStyle. This has been addressed in iOS 7.1 beta.
  
• If loaded with GLKTextureLoader, pngcrush images that have alpha were not unpremultiplied.
  
• When sleeping or waiting for extremely precise time intervals, timers were delayed by up to 1 millisecond.
  
• The MCSessioninitWithPeer: method has now been implemented properly.
