Friday March 25, 2011 10:40 am PDT by Eric Slivka

Alongside today's release of iOS 4.3.1, Apple has also pushed out Xcode 4.0.1, updating the company's tools for iOS and Mac OS X development.

What's New in Version 4.0.1

- Improved Assistant editor logic when switching among different file types
- Fixed a bug in "Install Xcode.app" that hangs at 99% complete, never finishing
- Fixed a bug that prevented indexing of some projects
- Fixed a bug related to nil settings in the Core Data model editor
- Fixed a bug that prevented automatic download of iOS documentation
- Fixed a bug in LLVM GCC 4.2 and LLVM compiler 2.0 for iOS projects
- Additional bug fixes and stability improvements

Xcode 4.0.1 is available free of charge to members of Apple's paid developer programs, and non-members can purchase the application for $4.99 in the Mac App Store.

Really not liking the 4gb download again...

Though the app store is great, this really is a flaw. Can't believe they can't patch through it.

The 4.something GB download is horrible, I agree.

Hopefully this makes Xcode 4 better! The crashfest that were previous versions is still imprinted in my memory!

My App Store app is telling me I have "no updates", and if I go to the Xcode page directly, it tells me it is "installed" and doesn't let me re-download. (yes I go Xcode 4 through the App store).

Anyone else experiencing this?

neither software update nor app store says there is an update available... shouldn't software update take care of this as a patch?

Too large of a file to update anytime soon. Waiting an hour+ for update is crazy.

Wait so you are suppose to keep the Install Xcode 4 file?? I deleted mine and no update is appearing. That seems like a massive fail. So I have to keep around a 4 GB file for NO reason than to tell the App Store that I have the app??

Does the 4bg xcoder install.app need to be in the /Applications directory (where Apple chose to leave it ) in order for AppStore to recongize you have XCode 4?

I believe this is the problem. But does it really matter since we have to install the whole 4.5 GB again and again lol!

Ugh. My Install Xcode.app is in its place. I get nothing in the updates tab. In the Purchased tab I see a update button and upon clicking it I get - "To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it."

To top it all I now know that for 4 fixes I have to download the WHOLE FREAKING 4.5GB AGAIN! :mad:

This should be submitted to Failblog.
