Xcode 4 is now an App Store item

After getting the server version included into the regular version of Lion Apple is surprising us again. Xcode is no longer free for developers!

Normally Xcode was included on your OS installer/restore DVD that came with every new Mac or on the OS DVD you bought. Updates or new installs could be downloaded from developer.appe.com after free registration.

I wonder why apple has changed the model, I don’t mind paying for the development tools but I don’t understand the move. Also getting an installer package as a paid application is strange, I hope the next version will behave more as a regular app and will be automatically installed after buying. I guess we will also have to see if XCode will still be made available on the installer DVD of os X Lion. At least we don’t have to buy the full developer license.

There are many people complaining on the installer, I found this one from systemsboy very well documented.

What is your take?

Dovecot updated to 2.0.11

Just a few days ago Timo released 2.0.10 which I was to blog about when another mail dropped in. He just released version 2.0.11 which solved a bug he discovered in 2.0.10. That was quick.

So here is the list of items solved in 2.0.10

  • LMTP: For user+detail@domain deliveries, the +detail is again written to Delivered-To: header.
  • Skip auth penalty checks from IPs in login_trusted_networks.
  • Added import_environment setting.
  • Added submission_host setting to send mails via SMTP instead of via sendmail binary.
  • Added doveadm acl get/set/delete commands for ACL manipulation, similar to how IMAP ACL extension works.
  • Added doveadm acl debug command to help debug and fix problems with why shared mailboxes aren’t working as expected.
  • IMAP: Fixed hangs with COMPRESS extension
  • IMAP: Fixed a hang when trying to COPY to a nonexistent mailbox.
  • IMAP: Fixed hang/crash with SEARCHRES + pipelining $.
  • IMAP: Fixed assert-crash if IDLE+DONE is sent in same TCP packet.
  • LMTP: Fixed sending multiple messages in a session.
  • doveadm: Fixed giving parameters to mail commands.
  • doveadm import: Settings weren’t correctly used for the import storage.
  • dsync: Fixed somewhat random failures with saving messages to remote dsync.
  • v2.0.9: Config reload didn’t notify running processes with shutdown_clients=no, so they could have kept serving new clients with old settings.

And here is the issues solved in 2.0.11

  • dotlock_use_excl setting’s default was accidentally “no” in all v2.0.x releases, instead of “yes” as in v1.1 and v1.2. Changed it back to “yes”.
  • v2.0.10: LDAP support was broken
  • v2.0.10: dsyncing to remote often hanged (timed out in 15 mins)

I’ve tested it and is running already on a production machine.
