With Xcode 3.2, how does one determine which documentation sets
should be downloaded?
By default, you should have any current documentation relevant to the
installed SDKs.
If your preference is set to auto-download doc updates (which is the
default for new users, but long-time users may have different
settings), and you only need the current docs relevant to the SDKs you
are using, you shouldn't have to do anything. The design of the doc
system in Snow Leopard is to make it such that the typical Xcode user
should never have to think about what docs they need or whether to
update the docs -- the "right thing" should happen automatically.
Do all the "newer" sets (e.g. 10.6 vs 10.5, iphone 3 vs 2.x, etc)
include all legacy info, or may there be important information
excluded in these "newer" sets?
As of Snow Leopard, legacy docs are no longer part of the standard
RefLibs, to address long-standing concerns of search results being
cluttered with legacy docs. If you need the legacy OS X
documentation, you can go into the Documentation pref pane and "Get"
the OS X Legacy RefLib. At this time only the OS X docs have a legacy
RefLib; in the future, as appropriate, we'll add Legacy doc sets for
other platforms (web/iPhone).
Note that "Legacy" here refers to complete documents that have been
consigned to legacy. Legacy API will still be reflected in the
regular RefLib, in a separate file for the class, as has been the case
for a few years.
There should be no "important" information in the Legacy RefLib,
unless by mistake. If it's important to current development, it
remains in the regular RefLib.
