The words "minor update" in the first sentence of the Xcode 2.5 release
notes strongly suggest it's a minor update. The affected areas appear to
be nicely summarized under the heading "Affected Areas".
If you want to know whether a particular bug or shortcoming in 2.4.1 has
been fixed in 2.5, then the only way to find out for sure is to download it
and try it for yourself, on your machine. This has always been true, even
when your bug number is cited in the release notes as fixed. There can be
regressions or incomplete fixes that don't completely solve a problem.
If you don't have an external bootable hard drive, you might want to get
one. It's a low-cost way of trying new things while still giving you the
ability to instantly revert to a known-good version. Another approach is
to partition your single hard drive, but that's harder to do retroactively.
