List,
First of all, I'm on an intel-based Mac running OS X 10.4.7. Last week, I uninstalled the Xcode 2.3 tools (using the uninstall perl script), installed the Xcode 2.4 tools and then launched Xcode. I opened the release notes, which showed "Xcode 2.4 Release Notes" at the top, as one would expect. While reading through them, I got a dialog saying that updated documentation was available, so I went to the webpage and began downloading it. I mounted that and installed that package. Toward the end of the install, the Xcode Documentation window, which I had opened, displayed the usual alert that it needed to update its display based on the new content. At some point, my "Xcode 2.4 Release Notes" page mysteriously became "Xcode 2.3 Release Notes".
So, what I'm assuming happened is that this so-called "updated" documentation package overwrote the documentation from Xcode 2.4? (While I obviously know that it will be overwriting the files it needs to update, going from "Xcode 2.4 Release Notes" down to "Xcode 2.3 Release Notes" doesn't sound like an update to me). The version of DevDocumentation.pkg included with Xcode 2.4 is 3.25, while the version in the June "updated" documentation is 3.27. However, last month, I used that same updated June version, 3.27, to update the documentation of my Xcode 2.3 install?
I have a spare partition where I basically started this over from scratch. I took a look at the documentation that's installed with Xcode 2.4 and noticed mistakes throughout it. For example, take a look at NSEvent Class reference. It states that almost every single method requires OS X 10.4 or later:
mouseLocation Reports the current mouse position in screen coordinates. + (NSPoint)mouseLocation Discussion This method is similar to the NSWindow method mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream. It returns the location regardless of the current event or pending events. The difference between these methods is that mouseLocationOutsideOfEventStream returns a point in the receiving window’s coordinates and mouseLocation returns the same information in screen coordinates. Availability - Available in Mac OS X v10.4 and later.
Installing the June "update" fixes this, but overwrites the 2.4 release notes (and possibly other things, I'm not sure).
Anyone else seeing this, and any ideas what's what?
Thanks in advance.....
