So the question that still remains is that since I used Software Update
what did I get? I read the readme but hadn't known enough to think
about the distinction of update 1.1 or tools 1.1. So I don't know what
is on my computer and whether to run the more complete tools update or
not.
Cheers,
Brian

Dave,
This is the second time that Apple has used the software update
mechanism to a partial update of the development tools package. The
Xcode Update 1.1 is intended to provide that software update in a
manual download where the Xcode Tools 1.1 release is the more
traditional "full disk image" update installation that we have shipped
in the past. I tried to make the differences clear in the Read Me
documents. I'll paste the features sections here for those who have
not yet been able to download them.
From the Xcode Update 1.1 Read Me:
FEATURES
The Xcode 1.1 update provides overall stability and performance
enhancements to the Xcode IDE, as well as improvements to debugging,
workflow, the Xcode build system and Code Sense.
From the Xcode Tools 1.1 Read Me:
FEATURES
The Xcode Tools 1.1 release provides overall stability and
performance enhancements to the Xcode IDE, as well as improvements to
debugging, workflow, the Xcode build system and CodeSense. It
includes a number of revisions and additions not included in the
recent Xcode 1.1 software update; see the What's New section below.
...
WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE?
The Xcode Tools 1.1 release contains changes to a variety of tools,
applications, and libraries in addition to those delivered in Xcode
Update 1.1:
Development Tools
- InterfaceBuilder 2.4.1
- Linker and assembler
Performance Tools
- SpinControl
- CHUD (Computer Hardware Understanding Development tools)
Utilities
- FileMerge
Graphics Tools
- OpenGL DriverMonitor
- OpenGL Profiler
SDKs and libraries
- updated SDK packages for Mac OS X 10.2 and Mac OS X 10.3
- /usr/lib/crt1.o now included on the Xcode Tools CD
Examples
- New AppleScript Studio Examples
Documentation
- Numerous additions and revisions have been made to the developer
documentation. ...
The long and the short of it is that the Xcode Update refreshes the
IDE in a small package suitable for delivery with a software update.
The Xcode Tools release refreshes the entire suite of tools and
documentation and includes the same IDE refresh as the Update.
Thank you for your feedback.
best,
Godfrey

Godfrey,
It just isn't obvious/clear that Xcode Update is only updates a
subset of
all the developer tools. Previous 'updaters' to developer tools did
update
multiple parts of the build system. I guess part of the problem is
that
'Developer Tools' has been renamed to Xcode, which is also the name
of a
specific application within the Xcode toolset.
I also find it surprising that Apple feels there's a significant
demand for
only a partial update to the developer tools. I would think that most
developers would want a complete updater [rather than a full
installer].
Perhaps ADC could add an explicit note to the main download page that
the
Xcode updater doesn't completely update the entire Xcode toolset to
v1.1.
Later,
