This was done using search and replace. Presumably it should be done in Xcode so that it can adjust the xib for the new deployment target, otherwise what is the point of storing deployment version in the xib and provide it as a command line argument to the xib compiler as well (only to get a warning if the versions do not match)?
Since we have multiple application targets, it doesn’t make sense with a global APP_NAME variable.
Though if building the frameworks as standalone bundles and embedding them in different applications, we may need some sort of unique component in the bundle identifier, but we currently do not do this (they are all statically linked, so the Info.plist is currently unused).
This changes a bunch of things:
1. Each framework now creates its own include directory for exported headers, and any target linking with this framework, gets that directory added to its include search path. This ensures deterministic behavior, unlike previously where a single shared directory was used, so even if target A did not explicitly link with target B, there was a reasonable chance that target B’s headers would be available when target A was built.
2. There is a new IMPORT keyword to indicate that a target depends on the headers of another framework but does not want to link with it. For example the `commit` shell command imports headers from the CommitWindow framework (related to their communications protocol) but linking with the CommitWindow framework would not be practical (as that would bring in all the resources of the CommitWindow).
3. All embedded targets are signed before being copied to their destination.
4. A new CS_ENTITLEMENTS keyword allows specifying `codesign` entitlements. Currently the hardened runtime is enabled, although this does make development problematic, as modifying files of a running instance (as done during rebuild) can cause TextMate to crash with EXC_BAD_ACCESS (Code Signature Invalid). Worse though, it seems the system has a cache of blacklisted executables indexed by inode. So if e.g. the embedded `mate` executable gets blacklisted, one has to manually remove and rebuild it, before it gets possible to use it again (by default, rebuilding causes the inode to be re-used, but I may change the build system to unlink before copy).
5. The build file no longer contains rules related to deployment. Instead variables are declared that a user build file can reference to extend the build with notarization/deployment rules (without having to hardcode build directory paths).
6. The code has been made modular with a Compiler super class that is subclassed to add support for file transformations (xib, ragel, asset catalogs, etc.) and a transformed file can have its own settings.
7. If target A links with target B, the linker flags of target B will now be included when linking target A.
8. Currently no indexing of help books. Unsure if this is actually useful.
9. Previously it was possible to have umbrella targets that would not generate any output, but just change settings for their sub-targets. This is no longer supported, as the implementation was arcane. I would like to introduce a different system for managing sectioned settings. Related to this; settings in target files are now always merged, regardless of whether using ‘=’ or ‘+=’.
Although this is actually deprecated in 10.10, new APIs are available in 10.9 and it will make addressing deprecation warnings when upgrading to 10.10 easier.
Inconveniencing all users with the “TextMate wants to access your contacts” dialog is not worth having the ability to contact users about their crash reports.
Some targets were including headers from frameworks not specified in their link dependencies. For a clean build this could cause an issue because the header was not available at the time of building the target.
The updated link dependencies are also based on what a target’s tests require. Ideally tests would have separate link dependencies, but as we don’t want to maintain this manually, this will have to wait until the build system automatically handles link dependencies.
Currently the commit command uses constants from the CommitWindow framework but should actually not be linked with it. However, the optimizer will strip dead code, so it should not result in much if any difference in the resulting binary and does solve a build dependency issue.
This was done in an attempt to prevent the warning saying “This file is set to build for a version older than the project deployment target.”
Unfortunately saving all the xibs did not get rid of the warning, even though tehy are all set to have 10.7 as their build target.
The latest xib format does however remove about 10.000 lines of XML.
The current version of mate is 2.10 which gets stored as 2.1 (when using a double), so TextMate would think the installed version was too old (though after updating it, a string would be stored, so it would only happen once).
