Revision 49423 was applied on Tuesday, but the cutoff was already past and
the files for the beta had already been extracted. 49408 was the last
revision to make it into the beta.

Just to be sure, I checked the actual content of the file at the pre-beta
and post-beta revisions, and that is exactly what happened. A current
checkout does pick up the 49423 changes, so they will appear in the final
release.
