New Evolutions
The following evolutions are available to all summoners.2-Point Evolutions
Shadow Blend (Su): In any condition of illumination other than bright light, the eidolon disappears into the shadows, giving it concealment (20% miss chance). If it has the shadow form evolution, it instead gains total concealment (50% miss chance). The eidolon can suspend or resume this ability as a free action.Shadow Form (Su): The eidolon's body becomes shadowy and more indistinct. This shadow form grants the eidolon constant concealment (20% miss chance), and its melee attacks affect incorporeal creatures as if it had the ghost touch weapon property. The eidolon's melee attacks deal only half damage to corporeal creatures.
I understand that Fetchlings are legal (with a boon) and typically racial benefits are exclusive to their race, however I was understanding that these evolutions, as quote above, are available to ALL summoners.
For PFS games I was attempting to use Shadow Form in order to be more effective against an incorporeal threat and was informed that somewhere on here is a board ruling from somebody important that says that in fact, no, these evolutions are only available to Fetchling summoners (and their eidolons).
Could someone please link me? It was kind-of frustrating to find out that a solid tactic was legal RAW but negated due to a message board conversation that I can't seem to find with all the strength of Google. Obviously the text has yet to be updated.

Kinda makes it harder to justify purchasing the book when it's officially less accurate than an internet message board, eh?
That's kind-of like reading a bathroom stall to get really good legal advice.
I don't entirely agree, but perhaps that's because I looked first for the messageboard clarification before actually looking at the Additional Resources page. I should have done things in the opposite order because that clarification then led to a change on the Additional Resources page.
Note: Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial evolutions, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race. Racial equipment and magic items can be purchased and used by any race as long as the specific item permits it (for example, only halflings can purchase and use solidsmoke pipeweed).
The Additional Resources page lists what is legal (or on a case-by-case basis what is not legal) from each book that is not part of the "core assumption." In this case the "racial evolutions" bit is the key.
EDIT: Expanded on a few points.
