XcodeCapp 4.0 is a major release of our beloved tool. In a nutshell it:
- allows to manage multiple projects simultaneously
- allows to follow operations and cancel them
- has a per project Error and Warning reporting
- supports capp_env as you can define additional paths and objj include path per project
- much more things
Previously, when popen was called, the 3 streams (stdin, stderr and stdourt) where never closed. This was the reason of the having an impossible number of open files.
This patch ensure all streams are closed after using them. This means that the ulimit trick is no more necessary
There are features of Objective-C 2.0 used in XcodeCapp that cannot be compiled with Xcode 4.2, which is the maximum version that runs on OS X 10.6. Users on 10.6 would see compile errors.
Now a check for OS X 10.7+ is done, and on any version earlier than that, the user is presented with a message telling them to download XcodeCapp from the web site.
FILE.exists was being used to test for the existence of the symlink in /Applications, but that doesn't work.
The correct way is to use ln -sfh. Note that the -h was missing before, which prevents an existing target symlink from being followed, which is why the symlink would end up inside XcodeCapp.app.
- Accidentally deleted the Jakefile. It has been restored, and fixed the case where it would put a symlink to XcodeCapp.app within XcodeCapp.app.
- Minor changes to remove compiler warnings.
- Updated project to Xcode 4.
- Reorganized files into preferred Xcode 4 hierarchy.
- Updated code to use properties.
- Eliminated unused/redundant code.
- Significantly optimized project scans.
- Added support for outlets, actions and resources in user frameworks.
- Now using bindings throughout.
- New application icon, Retina ready.
- New status menu icons.
- Reorganized menu.
- Added Preferences… menu item.
- Parsing errors and nib2cib errors are actually logged to the errors panel now.
- When an error occurs, the errors panel automatically opens, unless the "Automatically open Errors & Warnings panel" preference is off.
- Double-clicking an error or selecting an error and clicking Open opens the error in the preferred editor for .j files (or Xcode for .xibs). The cursor jumps to the offending line in the following editors: Sublime Text, TextWrangler, BBEdit, TextMate, Chocolate, MacVim.
- The Errors panel now remembers its position/size.
- When a project is loaded, the errors panel is cleared.
- When a file is modified, any pre-existing errors for that file are removed.
- Updated to Growl framework 2.0.1.
- If Notification Center is available (OS X 10.8+), that is used instead of Growl.
- .xcodecapp-ignore now supports ignoring a directory by suffixing the name with "/".
- .xcodecapp-ignore now supports include expressions prefixed with "!".
- Significantly optimized filename matching against ignored paths.
- .XcodeSupport has been renamed XcodeSupport to make it visible, so that trashing it is easier if things get out of sync.
- The template Xcode project now contains no frameworks or targets, so Xcode does not show any warnings or errors, and the user cannot accidentally try to build.
- Removing a file now removes the file from the Xcode project.
- Shadow files replace forward slash with U+2215 (DIVISION SLASH), which looks like forward slash but is a character that is extremely unlikely to be in a filename.
