Apple Updates Xcode, Final Cut Pro

'The Xcode 1.1 Update provides overall stability and performance enhancements to Xcode IDE, as well as improvements to debugging, workflow, the Xcode build system, and CodeSense. It is recommended that all Xcode users install this update.' Available via Software Update." Well, earlier today it was available via Software Update; it has since disappeared. However, if you are a Final Cut Pro user, you can get FCP 4.1.1 and LiveType 1.1.1 while you wait for Xcode 1.1 to return. Also, iTunes 4.2 has now appeared in Software Update, too.

I wouldn't say that. I have seen some issues with this build already, and its less than 3 hrs old on my machine. Quick observations:
- Under some circumstances builds will fail (unsure of the circumstances) and you cannot shutdown the build in anyway or restart it. The only way to fix the issue is to force quite Xcode.
- Some of my projects had weird linking errors and complained about: "Dependency Analysis". Rebuilding the project fixed this annoyance.
After those events though (the former was repeatable), I would have to say its a nice update. Code Sense is much much much faster than before. The interface has been tweaked in my deparments, for the better IMHO and build times has stayed the same which is always welcome (although I would love it to be faster).
As Apple said, there is no reason to worry about your Xcode installations, we are just going to have Xcode 1.1.1 as soon as Apple get back on the 5th of Jan.
