Apple releases iTunes 10.5.1 beta 3 to developers

As part of its ongoing testing efforts, Apple has released iTunes 10.5.1 beta 3 to registered iOS developers. According to Apple’s release notes, the software offers stability and performance improvements for iTunes Match, and is a required update for all developers currently subscribed to the iTunes Match beta. Apple notified all developers earlier this week that it would delete all iTunes Match libraries on November 12, but has yet to announce an updated release date for the service, which was scheduled to launch at the end of October. iTunes 10.5.1 beta 3 is available now from the iOS Dev Center.
