Xcode Developer Tools update
Apple quietly posted its Xcode 2.5 Developer Tools update for
registered members of its Apple Developer website on Tuesday night.
The upgrade primarily addresses security issues in gdb and
WebObjects. A buffer overflow in gdb's handling of TekHex content
could let a malicious file quit a program or run arbitrary code,
Apple said. In turn, the demo version of OpenBase included with
Xcode's WebObjects package was disabled to prevent local users from
gaining potentially dangerous OS privileges.
Developers using both Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard were equally
affected, the company added.
...
I just downloaded the installer. WO seems to remain at 5.3.3 and I
can't find anything regarding changes to WO in the release notes.
Probably it's just the unbundling of OpenBase and the inclusion of
the 5.3.3 (DST) update.
Do not get excited when you read, that Xcode 2.5 can be installed on
Leopard. This won't bring you back WOBuilder & EOModeler. From the
release notes included in the image:
...
In general, the XcodeTools 2.5 installer on Leopard does not
install content into the boot volume (except for
GCC 3.3 and distributed build support). In addition, the Xcode 2.5
developer tools versions of performance
tools (including CHUD Tools), Quartz Composer, WebObjects, are not
supported on 10.5 (users should use
the Xcode 3.0 developer tools for access to performance tools,
Quartz Composer, and WebObjects on
10.5).
...
Deprecation Notice
NOTE: As of the release of Xcode 2.4, the Cocoa Java bridge has
been deprecated. This means that, while
still supported with Xcode 2.5 (on Mac OS X v10.4), future releases
of Xcode may not support the bridge or
other dependent features. Due to this, the following additional
WebObjects developer applications are also
being deprecated:
EOModeler
EOModeler Plugin
WebObjects Builder
WebServices Assistant
RuleEditor
WOALauncher
This also means that the Xcode Java bridge templates have been
deprecated, and should not be used for
new Java bridge-based development.
