Is there a list of the actual bugs fixed somewhere? I'd like to know more than what the release note pdf says. When I choose Release Notes from the Help menu, it shows the 2.3 release notes. It's nice to know exactly what was fixed, for those of us who might not be using some features because of bugs and want to use them again once they are fixed. That sort of thing.


I expect that you "updated" the ADC Reference Library after you installed 2.4, and it overwrote the 2.4 Release Notes with the 2.3 version that is in the doc set.  This also happened with the 2.2 to 2.3 transition; the lead times for the documentation are longer and they sometimes take a cycle to pick up all the release notes.

I've posted the 2.4 Release Notes on my iDisk at http://idisk.mac.com/cdespinosa/Sites/Public/Xcode.html for your perusal [subject to .Mac being up]

Very, very little in the Xcode IDE changed from 2.3 to 2.4; as I said, we didn't even bother updating the version number in the user guide because we were sorta busy shipping the GM 2.4 and the Developer Preview 3.0 simultaneously.  The majority of the changes are to support 64-bit and are noted in the compiler notes:  

http://developer.apple.com/releasenotes/DeveloperTools/CompilerTools.html

In Xcode 2.4 itself, the focus was on fixes for bugs introduced with Distributed Network Builds in 2.3, and debugging issues with 64-bit code:

- A crash in bfobserver for Distributed Network Builds was fixed.
- A crash in Distributed Network Builds was fixed.
- Distributed Network Builds no longer leaves zombie Python processes behind.
- Xcode will now build projects for x86_64 architectures.
- Zero Link is automatically disabled for ppc64 and x86_64 architectures as it is not yet implemented in 64-bit.
- You can now view disassembly of 64-bit code in Show Assembly Code
- Debugging now shows the additional registers of the Xeon processor
- Renaming a file reference with a "/" is now disallowed, lest it delete the directory
- The GDB console window now no longer pops up when minor errors occur
