Bara för en stund sen släppte Apple betaverision 2 av kommande iOS 5.1. Uppdateringen kommer exakt två veckor efter det att Apple släppte den första betaverisionen av iOS 5.1.
Den uppdaterade mjukvaran innehåller ett antal buggfixar och tillägg, inklusive en ny patch som ska få ordning på det omtalade batteriproblemet. Det ska hålla längre nu med andra ord. Förutom detta så ryktas det att Siri ska få ett nytt tillbehör.
Nedan kan ni se vad som är ändrat/uppdaterat i mjukvaran:
Notes and Known Issues
The following issues relate to using the 5.1 SDK to develop code.
Accounts
When creating an iCloud account, you can use any Apple ID as long as it is a full email address and not a MobileMe account. If you have a MobileMe account, you can move that account to iCloud. You can find more information at: http://me.com/move
APIs
• The NSNetService class and CFNetService APIs do not include P2P interfaces by default. To browse, register, or resolve services over P2P interfaces, an application needs to use the Bonjour DNSService*() APIs noted below.
• Setting the interfaceIndex parameter to kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexAny in the following API’s will not include P2P interfaces by default. To include P2P interfaces, you must now set the kDNSServiceFlagsIncludeP2P flag when usingkDNSServiceInterfaceIndexAny or set the interfaceIndex to kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexP2P. The affected APIs are:
■DNSServiceBrowse
■DNSServiceRegister
■DNSServiceResolve
■DNSServiceRegisterRecord
■DNSServiceQueryRecord
GameKit
FIXED: App icons and profile photos are not loading in apps using Game Center.
iCloud Photo Stream
NEW: Photos taken using iOS 5.1 can be deleted from Photo Stream on your device and will be removed automatically from Photo Stream on your other iOS 5.1 devices. Older photos can be manually deleted from your iOS 5.1 devices.
iCloud Storage
• Provisioning profiles must be enabled for iCloud in the iOS Provisioning Portal. To enable a provisioning profile for iCloud, navigate to the App ID section of the iOS Provisioning Portal and configure your App ID for iCloud. After enabling the App ID for iCloud, regenerate your provisioning profiles to enable them for iCloud.
• The setSortDescriptors: method of NSMetadataQuery is not supported.
• In iOS 5, files that are protected via Data Protection cannot be used with iCloud Storage APIs.
• File names are case-insensitive in Mac OS X but case-sensitive in iOS. This can lead to problems when sharing files between the two using iCloud. You should take steps on iOS to avoid creating files whose names differ only by case.
Movie Player
Starting in iOS 5.0, in order to facilitate finer-grained playback control, a movie player is not automatically prepared to play upon creation. Call the prepareToPlay method to prepare the movie player. For more information, see MPMoviePlayerController Class Reference
Music Player
Using shake-to-shuffle causes Music app to freeze and playback to stop.
Security
In iOS 5, signing certificates with MD5 signatures is not supported. Please ensure that certificates use signature algorithms based on SHA1 or SHA2.
Setup Assistant
NEW: Immediately after completing the Setup Assistant, it may re-appear and show the wifi screen and/or final “Thank You” screen. The workaround when in this loop is to reboot the device.
SpringBoard Lock Screen
NEW: The lock screen can intermittently get in a state where double-clicking the home button will no longer bring up the camera button. To get out of that state, you need to restart the device.
Som ni ser så kan man nu också ta bort streambilder utan att behöva göra någon återställning. Alla bilder som tas i iOS 5.1 kommer kunna tas bort ur Photostream inividuellt.
iOS 5.1 beta 2 finns till iPhone, iPad och iPod touch för de som har ett utvecklarkonto hos Apple. Notera att det är välkommet om ni vet eller får höra om det är några större förändringar i uppdateringen.

Värt att påminna om är att ni som inte har uppdaterat till iOS 5.0.1 ännu bör göra det innan Apple släpper en ny uppdatering. Missar ni 5.0.1 så missar ni förmodligen det kommande untethered jailbreak som väntar runt hörnet. I annat fall kan det vara värt att uppdatera för att spara SHSH-filen.
