I've got Xcode 7.0.1 install from the App Store, but my docs still all say they're preliminary.
It’s my belief (though I’m only guessing) that there’s a master source of each document. Within that, there are conditional sections for which platform and which OS version the document can be formatted for — sort of like availability macros in code. The master document is always updated for the latest development environment (i.e. Xcode 7.1 in this case) and thus it’s preliminary *if it has any changes in the latest development environment cycle*. (If you search for documents on the developer web site, many class reference documents are marked Preliminary, but some aren’t.)
If I’m right, the upside is that you always get the latest and most correct document content, even if the documentation group has moved on to an upcoming Xcode/SDK release. The downside is that documents only go final if Xcode gets released with no new beta simultaneously, which doesn’t usually happen. |
