Digital watermarking in SDK download ?

Did anyone notice different checksums each time they download the SDK ?
I downloaded it several times, and each time I get another MD5 on the file.
Might that be some watermarking and timestamping from Apple ?

the iPhone is waaaaay snappier than previous builds. Even typing in textboxes like this one feel much smoother than any other previous build. Even the webpages seem to load up way faster.

I'm loving the progress and I can't wait for the finalized product. This build feels almost like the final version and is by far the most polished. Many issues that have been irking me till now have been resolved. Woo-hoo!

Which issues have you noticed fixed?

Upgrading from beta 5

Hi all,

I am relatively new to the Mac OS X way of doing things and I was wondering if I need to uninstall XCode / iPhone SDK Beta 5 before installing the new one... I have Beta 6 already downloaded and it shows that it will upgrade the SDK part but install the XCode part. I don't want to have multiple beta versions of XCode laying around in my /Developer folder so I was wondering if I should uninstall my current XCode before running the iPhone SDK Beta 6 installer. It would stand to reason that giving it the same location would upgrade XCode but I'm not 100% sure and was wondering what others out there do. I would like to think that I can simply run the installer and everything will be upgraded properly. I can't find any information regarding this question in the release notes on developer.apple.com/iPhone

Thanks!

I have always just installed each of the SDKs over the previous one. No problem. Just replaces the previous version so you will not have multiple copies installed unless you use a different installation location for each one. I just went with the default.

As always it is wise to have a proper backup of your system before installing new software - especially beta software. Just in case.

is this the last beta before the final 2.0?
