I haven't been able to find them, still digging, but here are the
release notes I contributed to the build:
This release note documents last minute changes in the Carbon developer
tools, and suggests hints on their use.
Whats New
A new tool. PPCExplain, has been added to /Developer/Tools. It takes
any number of PowerPC mnemonics as command-line parameters, and outputs
long descriptions of what those mnemonics mean.
All tools in /Developer/Tools now have man pages in man 1. Existing man
pages (for example, for Rez and DeRez) have been updated and corrected.
Rez
Rez now reports errors using Unix/Xcode conventions (i.e.
<filename>:<linenumber>) rather than MPW conventions.
In Rez, the $DATE and $TIME macros now behave correctly. In Xcode 1.2
they produced empty strings; prior to that they introduced garbage into
the resource file.
You can now use expressions when assigning values to enums in Rez
source or included headers.
CpMac and MvMac
CpMac and MvMac usage notes documented a '-mac' option that more or
less never worked. It has been removed.
SetFile
In Xcode 1.2, SetFile was able to set certain flags but not to clear
them. That's been fixed in 1.5.
A long-standing problem with SetFile misunderstanding PM times and 12
AM has finally been fixed.
SplitForks
Custom icons in packages would be mangled by PackageMaker (and other
SplitForks-based utilities). This has been fixed in Xcode 1.5.
