Xcode 4.3.2 released

Briefly about the changes (from the description in the AppStore):

• Includes SDK for iOS 5.1 and MacOSX 10.7
• Signing Programs with Apple Developer ID
• Console utilities are installed from the download menu, ^{see notes.}
• Instruments, File Merge, and other utilities now run directly from Xcode
• ARC migration utility can convert code from retain / release and GC code
• Bugfixes and stability - as usual

The Mac OS X Lion version is available for free on the AppStore . Version for Snow Leopard, apparently, will not be.

The first thing that caught my eye was the installation of Xcode in / Applications, now the / Developer directory is not needed, all additional utilities are placed inside the Xcode.app bundle. At the same time, during the first launch, Xcode suggested sending the old version to the trash - and deleted the entire / Developer directory along with the installed Qt and other useful things. This is my personal warning for those who will be updating - do not agree to demolish the old version if something was installed in / Developer.

The second - Command Line Tools could not be installed from Xcode. Moreover, there is an item in the downloads, but it cannot be installed (even with a paid Apple Developer ID). What upset. But it turns out that you can download a separate package of Command Line Tools directly from offsite (if there is an unpaid Developer ID). So life goes on!


Another small trifle. LLDB is now recommended as a debugger instead of the usual GDB. Well, let's see what happens.
