Besides supporting the latest iPhone OS version, beta 5 doesn't do a whole lot else besides throwing in small tweaks to the UI, tweaks to the developers tools and some bug fixes. No big feature addition like last time, but you gotta update if you're making iPhone apps. You just gotta! There probably won't be very many more of these before the next iPhone's out.
This fifth beta release of the iPhone SDK includes a complete set of tools, compilers, frameworks, and documentation for creating iPhone OS applications. These tools include the Xcode IDE, and the Instruments analysis tool, among many others. With this software you can develop applications that run on iPhone and iPod touch using the included iPhone Simulator.

this really isn't about the SDK...but... i love the SDK logo :)
@Pepper: stick firefox in that logo and i'll be happy.
Dang! Now I have to rewrite my code all over again! Make the madness STOP!
@Paradise: FireFox can be added by Mozilla if they want.
@Illuminator: Why would you have to rewrite it? It's still the same SDK, your app will work as is does today. Or do you prefer software to stagnate so you don't have to bother optimizing your code anymore.
@Leonard Nimrod
Dunno if they did with this release, but on the last few, they deprecated several methods(especially in regards to UITableView).
wait so will there be native aim support? I have heard almuch about it since the last news about apple patenting an instant messenger ui.
@Leonard Nimrod: perhaps a crippled version of Firefox: [blog.wired.com]
@Paradise: The only issue is with plugins, but as the article states most are JS and may be allowed. Still, plugins aside, Mozilla could actually build in a version of Flash 9 into the browser for full flash support, but it would have to be in the app itself to be allowed.
The rules seem to only be preventing apps from running in the background, calling other apps, and doing things naughty things (like running torrents and making VoIP calls over the cell carrier's data network).
