* It looks like that since Apple added some HD movies to the QuickTime
Trailers, they are also trying to reduce the size of other parts of
their web site (or may the . key is broken on someone's keyboard):
The documentation is lacking a bunch of '.' to end sentences.
Ex:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/
SoftwareDistribution/index.html
CFBundleIdentifier
requireddata type: stringdefault value: noneexample:
“com.mycompany.mygreatapplication”A unique identifier string for the
bundle. It should be in the form of a Java-style package name. For more
information, see “Property List Key Reference” in Runtime Configuration.
* I don't understand when and why the IFMajorVersion and IFMinorVersion
keys are not used anymore.
This is becoming a bit messy: In the 10.1 format, the Version field of
the .info was just there to take some real estate apparently. In the
10.2 format on 10.2, it was still not used AFAIK and the IFMajorVersion
and IFMinorVersion were introduced. Additionally, a package_version
file was stealthily introduced later. And now, these flags are not used
anymore as I suspect this is the new version field which is to be used.
What was wrong with the IFMajorVersion and IFMinorVersion keys?
Is there a version mechanism that is working from 10.0 to 10.4?
* It's somehow funny to spend time adding a warning to state that $2,
$3 and $4 are not to be trusted in InstallationCheck and one line after
to define $RECEIPT_PATH which is probably not going to be part of
InstallationCheck for obvious reason.
* "Fixed a number of bugs". Could it be possible to detail this a bit
more.
Why is there a link to the release note, in the cell after this one and
not in this one?
