The NITRO SDK was previously known as the IRIS SDK, but got renamed sometime before April 2004 (release 1.0 of NITRO-SDK). Much of the structure and files remain from the IRIS SDK but most files have been renamed to NITRO.
Even although the SDK was renamed to NITRO in version 1.0 it still distributed the release notes for the three IRIS SDK versions that started the project. Although in the 4.2 SDK leak these were removed ands the release notes just start from 1.0.
When the Nintendo DSi was released the SDK was once again renamed to the twilight (TWL) SDK.

All three IRIS SDK version were leaked as part of the Paladin Leak on the 30th September 2020.
Note that there was also something called the “TWLwrap SDK” for DSi that was leaked but it is very different to these so it presumably wasn’t a consumer SDK.
