Apple has released a new WebObjects Builder Users Guide that covers the new WOBuilder in WebObjects 5.3.1. I haven’t had a chance to play with the new WOBuilder yet, but from the guide it looks like many of the initial user concerns have been addressed.
Maybe I’ll make a snapshot of my dev machine and update tonight.
Mike Bombich has released NetRestore 3.1 which we will be using to automate the upgrade of a several hundred workstations to Tiger in the next couple of months.
From the release notes:
"Created a pair of pre/post-action scripts that perform data backup and restore before and after image restoration (backup_user_data.sh and restore_user_data.sh)."
Cool, I was about to start writing those…
As spotted by Hunter Hillegas on the webobjects-dev list, Apple released WebObjects 5.3.1 as part of Xcode 2.2 today.
One particular part of the release tech note (found here) is of interest: "Adds a modified Developer tools license that allows WebObjects applications developed with Xcode 2.2 to be deployed on any platform"
That alone will make a lot of people happy.

Thanks Scott!
Whoo hoo! Mike Schrag has setup a build server for Project WONDER here. This is from his email to the Project WONDER list:
It functions very much like the WOLips nightly build server. Each morning at 5am EST, it does a checkout from the cvs server. If there were any changes, it increments the build number and does a Framework, Application, and Examples build. One difference is that it does not tag cvs with that build number, though it could if people particularly want this.
Great news! Thanks a tonne Mike.
