    "Latest release: 1.4.0 (2025-10-10), which NEWS calls a development release; it added MbedTLS support, Apple TV wireless pairing and iOS 17+ personalized developer disk image mounting, among other changes. The reviewed master commit of 2026-06-10 is nine commits ahead, mostly AFC and afcclient fixes.",
    "Source builds use autotools and pkg-config with libplist 2.3.0+, libusbmuxd 2.0.2+, libimobiledevice-glue 1.3.0+ and libtatsu 1.0.3+ from the same organization (README says libtatsu must be built from source), plus OpenSSL by default, GnuTLS or MbedTLS; Doxygen and Cython are optional. The README dependency list includes the usbmuxd daemon and says the library is tested on Linux, macOS, Windows and Android.",
    "Work starts from an iOS device the user controls and pairs with the host (idevicepair); the repository contains no Apple software. Screenshots and location simulation need a mounted Apple developer disk image, which is not included. README says library documentation is not yet available and points to the bundled utilities' source; each utility has a manual page.",
    "GitHub Actions builds and installs the library on Ubuntu, macOS and Windows (MSYS2 MINGW64 and MINGW32) against the latest builds of its sibling libraries, on pushes, pull requests and a monthly schedule. The repository has no test suite, and no workflow exercises a device.",
    "LGPL-2.1 for the library and utilities. The bundled ed25519 (zlib-style license) and Stanford SRP-based libsrp6a-sha512 (BSD-style) keep their own licenses. README states that the project is independent and not authorized, sponsored or approved by Apple."

    "最新发行版为 1.4.0（2025-10-10），NEWS 称其为开发版；该版本新增了 MbedTLS 支持、Apple TV 无线配对以及 iOS 17+ 个性化开发者磁盘映像挂载等改动。所审阅的 master 提交（2026-06-10）比它多 9 个提交，主要是 AFC 与 afcclient 的修复。",
    "源码构建使用 autotools 和 pkg-config，依赖同一组织维护的 libplist 2.3.0+、libusbmuxd 2.0.2+、libimobiledevice-glue 1.3.0+ 和 libtatsu 1.0.3+（README 称 libtatsu 需从源码构建），TLS 默认用 OpenSSL，也可选 GnuTLS 或 MbedTLS；Doxygen 与 Cython 为可选项。README 的依赖列表包含 usbmuxd 守护进程，并称该库已在 Linux、macOS、Windows 和 Android 上测试。",
    "使用前提是一台由使用者掌控、并与主机完成配对（idevicepair）的 iOS 设备；仓库不含任何 Apple 软件。截屏和模拟定位需要挂载 Apple 开发者磁盘映像，仓库不提供该映像。README 称库的使用文档尚未提供，建议参考随附实用工具的源码；每个实用工具都有手册页。",
    "GitHub Actions 在推送、拉取请求及每月定时任务中，针对其同系列库的最新构建，在 Ubuntu、macOS 和 Windows（MSYS2 MINGW64 与 MINGW32）上构建并安装该库。仓库没有测试套件，也没有工作流连接实际设备运行。",
    "库与实用工具采用 LGPL-2.1 许可。随附的 ed25519（zlib 风格许可）和基于 Stanford SRP 的 libsrp6a-sha512（BSD 风格许可）保留各自许可。README 声明本项目为独立软件，未经 Apple 授权、赞助或认可。"
