Any issues? Does it replace 3.2? Appreciate the help/insight.
As long as Xcode 4 is a developer preview instead of a supported release, you are taking a big risk if you depend on Xcode for your livelihood. If you are interested only in hobby work, then the only thing you have to loose is a little hair (yes, there are several outstanding issues in preview 3). Once Xcode 4 is released, I think it provides many compelling features and I will happily move my development efforts over to the new version. Unlike Windows/Visual Studio, Xcode releases are not tied to operating system or library versions, and the Xcode team has made it so that versions 3 and 4 play very well together. So you can use either Xcode 3.x or Xcode 4 interchangeably.
Plain and simple: Because it's a Developer Preview! :)
(and personally: still crashes a lot on my machine)
And correct me if I'm wrong, but XCode4 still lacks several features.
Some basic features are also still not working as expected. When you write for Code Sense will suggest a long list for keywords. But the for-loop is still missing from the list. I am sure we all know how to write such a loop but for a beginner it still would be useful as it is in Xcode 3.2
I've found XCode 4 to be stable enough for daily work as of the DP5 release, and Apple is actually encouraging this now.
When (and you will) you run across things that don't work, or XCode crashes, just switch back to XCode 3.2 and work past the issue. The project file format is compatible so this isn't an issue at all.
Overall, XCode 4 is shaping up to be an awesome tool.
If you have a Core 2 Duo or earlier, DO NOT UPGRADE. Xcode 4 is a great tool with many wonderful additions, but slower Mac's can't handle it. You'll often find yourself typing then waiting for the editor to catch up.

A few years back I have been using Titanium Desktop to make an app for Mac. Having been satisfied I came back recently to it for another project, but apparently Titanium Desktop is now TideSDK.
Looking at the reference it seems that a lot of stuff has disappeared, I was mostly expecting more elements in UI, like ScrollView, ImageView and such.
Did they simply vanish from this new release or is it just not fully documented ?
First of all I need to make clear that TideSDK is not Titanium Desktop. While it began on legacy code, more than 1 million lines changes of code have been committed and the SDK has been in existence for almost a year now. You will find a different namespace but API compatibility.
The code base is quite different and has been undergoing major restructuring and improvements. That said, for the end user, it is just as friendly to use. We don't like to go back to discuss the past since we have contributed a body of code that allows developers to run TideSDK on today's modern operating systems. This was only the result of substantial efforts and the continued development of TideSDK by its contributors. If you experience any issues, please file them with on our issue tracker on github.
I want to upgrade to Aptana 3, but on first glance there were a few things different I didn't have time to spend figuring them all out. So I went back to 2. I'd like to install 3 as well so when I have time I can just look at it. I use Aptana too much and rarely have a lot of time to spending figuring out all their changes but there are some benefits to upgrading.
So is there a way I can hide my Aptana 2 from the install wizard for 3?
While it's not quite what you asked for, I would install the 3.x version as a plugin into Eclipse. Realistically, you should be able to install 2.x and 3.x side-by-side, so the fact you can't sounds like a bug, and I would recommend filing a bug ticket for that.
i apologize if this post is redundant.
i'm searching unsuccessfully for recent, step-by-step instructions on how to set up ActionScript 3, Flex 4.5 and AIR 2.6 with TextMate on Mac OS X.
i've found several posts concerning required bundles, but most of the threads are a few years old in addition to having convoluted, sparse instructions for setting up.
it seems that auto-complete and .swc files are supported, which is great. in addition to instructions i'm also very interested in learning about what isn't supported and other common pitfalls.
i've been familiarizing myself with TextMate's UI and it's amazing. i would much rather use it than Flash Builder / Eclipse, or even Flash Professional.
one last question - i understand that it's possible to set up our own keyboard shortcuts to compile with MXMLC and write the .swf to disk. is it possible to have the .swf auto open in Flash Player Debugger after it is compiled. essentially, i'd like to continue using Command+Enter shortcut for testing movies in Flash Professional to build and launch since i would certain have a difficult time adjusting to new muscle memory.
thanks.
Grab the Flex 4 SDK, its documentation and the Flex 3 documentation.
Grab the latest actionscript3.tmbundle and install it.
Hit help and read the help, it explains where to put what and how to configure your environment.
For some reason I can't make it work with the Flex 4 documentation but the Flex 3 one works. YMMV.
Even after all of this, TextMate — with all its sexyness — will still be very inferior to Flash Develop: the autocomplete part is very "alpha" and is not "auto" at all, for example.
For the debugging part, I just open the .html with Safari and read the debugging information written to ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/Logs/flashlog.txt either in the Terminal or in Console.app.
Good luck and feel free to ask for any clarifications.
Okay today, as most of you noticed Framework 4.0 has been released. I've been working on a project which is being built on framework 3.5. Since I want to use dynamic keyword and most of the asp.net features like Tableless Menu Control, ClientIDMode and clean web.config etc. I am kinda urging to migrate the unfinished project to 4.0 but I am little hesitating about that.Some times I think it is way better to wait for SP1.
So what do you think about it? You guys will migrate to unfinished projects or will still hang out with 3.5 for a while.
Thanks.
The .Net 4.0 runtime environment has been out for a while (mind you not RTM, but RC1 and so forth). A lot of people have tested it and I would guess that almost all of the bugs have been shaken out. There should be no problem switching at this point. They have introduced a number of items that improve .Net. Are they necessary, no, but they can make programming in .Net easier.
You can always download 4.0 locally and test it out on your project. Worse comes to worse, the project blows up and you reload it from your source control system.
What you should be aware of is that there are breaking changes in both C# and VB.Net in 4.0 runtime environment. You'll need to watch out for those.
The following probably applies to most framework-base development.
Do the new features save more time than fixing the old things the upgrade breaks?
If you're going to waste lots of time making old things work, perhaps you're better off just to sit it out on 3.x and port to 4.x at a later phase.
If you really need features from 4.0 and would have to spend time implementing them yourself, perhaps it's a net time saving.
Can you support this version of the framework? (ie can your server people handle the upgrades and monitor things okay?)
If your server bods can't make this work in the field, give up now. I don't know your organisational structure or who runs your servers but I know some companies have a pretty thorough testing regime they'll put software through before allowing it. As a brand new version, they might be weary.
And let's be frank, just because something goes through several pre-release versions, they don't catch every bug because they're rarely used in production scenarios. You know the drill.
And if installing 4.0 on the server breaks old things, you might be waiting a long time.
Is your project's launch likely going to be after the first round of bug fixes?
If you're developing this for 3+ months away, you've probably got enough time to sort the platform issues, fix the code issues and get framework bugs reported with the (blind) hope that they fix them or you can work around them safely.
If you're launching tomorrow, it's not enough time to test it.
I will only upgrade when there is a need to do it. For example I have one application that must use features delivered in .Net Framework 4. So that application will get upgraded ASAP.
I have another application that is 3.5 with no driving need to upgrade at this time. That one will get upgraded when time and budget allows.
I'm trying to find 1, just 1, working sample project for Red5 that's updated to work against the latest 0.9 release without missing jars and other nonsense.
Right now, it's at v0.9 and the libs are different from other versions. They have 5 pathetic examples on their website, but all were built with the older versions. For these 5 old examples, I could use the Add External JARS feature to try and add libs from previous versions, they don't mention which versions they were built against and I'm not going to try each previous version to see which works (I already did and nothing works). They don't seem to be putting any effort into updating or marketing their open source project.
Anyone who's more intelligent and can shed some light on behalf of these fools?
What sorts of issues are you having? What sorts of projects are you trying to build?
I'm by no means an expert on this - and I admit that the lack of documentation is pretty frustrating.
However, I just downloaded their latest, installed it and got the olfa demo running pretty seamlessly.
The source for the demos are available here, and I use these to work out what I need.
http://www.smartfoxserver.com/ makes use of red5 in someway. Perhaps you can find something useful in their (well documented) examples, good luck.
