Maybe everyone already knows this, but the Xcode 5.0.1 GM seed is not the same as the release version.

@mjtsai Apple has been on a roll lately with regard to redefining the meaning of words: "gold master", and my favorite: "less than a minute"

@petermaurer It doesn’t even matter so much to me that GM no longer has the same meaning. But tell us when there’s a new build!

@mjtsai@petermaurer Kids these days don’t remember when software came on optical discs that couldn’t be changed once pressed from the GM. - View other replies

@stormchild@mjtsai I guess the problem is: What do you do if you find a bug after publishing the GM? Leave it in for the sake of semantics? - View other replies

@petermaurer@stormchild I think RC 1, 2, etc. makes more sense. Then when you ship just say which one is the GM. - View other replies

@mjtsai@petermaurer Exactly. With OS X / iOS, the purpose of the GM is to tell 3rd party devs “this is exactly what we’re shipping”.

@mjtsai@petermaurer To me, a GM is a GM — there’s only one GM, period. Anything else is a mislabeled RC. -
@mjtsai Fortunately, they do list the exact build numbers there. -
@mjtsai Yeah. I've made a habit of checking the developer page one or two days after an OS update has been released…
