Posted by pudge on from the merry-christmas dept.

SkeeterMac writes "Apple today released the December 2002 developer tools, available for download for ADC Members. Among the list of updates is Project Builder 2.1 with 'better CVS support' -- maybe this one will let me specify the CVSROOT!"

    There's a lot more to this update than just that:
    • Project Builder 2.1
    • gcc 3.1
    • AppleScript Studio 1.2.1
    • CHUD 2.5.1
    • AppleScript Editor 2.0 Beta
    • jikes 1.17
    • PackageMaker
    • Sherlock SDK
    • DiscRecording SDK
    • CoreAudio SDK
    • FireWire SDK
    • ForceFeedback SDK
    • AvailabilityMacros
    • New documentation

    Those interested in Java 1.4.x development should also head over there to download the Java 1.4.1 Developer Preview 8 (pre-release implementation of JDK 1.4.1 that runs on Mac OS X 10.2 or later).

      The December 2002 dev tools are only for 10.2.x, so - looks like no new GCC - Apple's advice for 10.1.x is to use the April 2002 dev tools

    Control-click a class in the list. When the popup menu comes up, dismiss it. You should now have a list of the class's methods, and your own source file will still be in the main editor window.

  3. AppleScript updates are the coolest by thefinite · · Score: 5, Informative

    The new changes in AppleScript, while still not in final versions, are by far the coolest. You can now manipulate menu items and other GUI items with AppleScript, something that opens up a lot more and used to be in the realm of Quickkeys. Also, the Script Editor is much better, but still not as cool as some of the freeware/shareware editors you can find. Still, the future of AppleScript, once very questionable under OS X, is now brighter than it has ever been!

    Guess what, troll? Membership is free. You can pay for membership too but there is a free developer program that you can join, for free, even, and download the developer CD, for free. Like without paying. Free as in beer. Free as in love. Free as a bird. Free as the word between "fart" and "fuck" in the dictionary.

  5. Parallel building... by dr00g911 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Word has it that the Dec 2002 Dev package includes support for parallel builds... meaning that you can utilize mutliple processors during build time.

    I personally haven't verified this as I don't have a wind tunnel to test on, but word on the street is that it shows pretty huge gains during compiles.

  6. Yay! It fixes the static local bug! by JMZorko · · Score: 3, Informative
    The version of gcc3.1 that came with 10.2 had an irritating bug which resulted in code with local static variables in templated classes to not link. I don't know if the problem was with the C++ compiler or ld, but this version fixes that (just tried it), yippee!

    It _is_ nice to see Apple listening to us :-)
