Updated Cocoa documentation available


  • Subject: Updated Cocoa documentation available

I'm pleased to announce that we have just pushed out an update of the Cocoa HTML documentation to the developer.apple.com website. As noted in the Site Updates document, here's what's new:

January 2003

This release of the Cocoa reference documentation is the first release through a new publishing mechanism. The change-over to the new mechanism has allowed us to add some important functionality to the Cocoa API reference: types in declarations that have documentation are now hyperlinked, so you can go straight to the documentation for parameter or return types. The change-over has also resulted in some minor cosmetic changes, some of which are intended, some of which will be fixed in future releases.

All reference material in HTML has been updated. In particular:
* The userInfo information for all notifications has been rationalized and verified.
* All topics now contain Revision History information, which will track changes going forward.
* Over seventy bug fixes have been incorporated.

The PDF files have not been updated at this time. Please consult this list of reference content bugs fixed in the HTML but not yet available in the PDF.

Core Foundation [NEW]
Core Foundation Programming Topics bring together information of various types that pertain to specific programming goals. Topics are grouped into the general categories of Core Foundation Architecture, Data Management, Events and Other Input, and Resource and Process Management, with several topics in each category.

Core Foundation API Reference [NEW]
Core Foundation API Reference documents the functions, data types, and constants provided by the Core Foundation framework. Its presentation has been redesigned from the previous CarbonLib version and it has been updated to document all symbols available in Mac OS X up to version 10.2.


We hope that you will find the new links for parameter and return types especially useful. Specifically, it is my fond hope that I will never again see a bug claiming that we have no documentation for the Objective-C version of NSRect or NSPoint! :) Share and enjoy, and please feel free to send us feedback.
