Has the problem of auto-correct for external keyboards finally been fixed?

Where is the support for Auto-correct/auto-complete, auto-capitalize, double space for period for external Bluetooth Keyboards.

This was due in iOS6, promised in fact, and never appeared.

I got a Mini yesterday with the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard for iPad Mini and was bummed to find out none of these work on external keyboards though it was promised some time ago. Especially on a Mini on a cramped keyboard, this is essential.

And yes while I realize the beta is iPhone only, the same should be true of a keyboard paired to an iPhone or an iPad.

Can any beta testers confirm if this has been fixed?
 
I'm in the same boat as you with identical hardware purchased just the other day (iPad mini wifi with matching Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard Cover). Glad to know it's not my setup, but not pleased that autocorrect isn't working though.
 
I also have exactly the same problem; is there any news regarding this?

Maybe some way on a jailbroken device to use autocompletion? Why is this issue existing in the first place?
