Front matter (Rob)

• Trivial updates

What’s New

The Brand New Stuff (Mugunth)

• Assume that all 10.8 thing will be in iOS 6.
• LLVM 4.0
• ObjC changes. Literals. Auto-synthesize.
• Perhaps the anticipated Notification Widget SDK (may need chapter if it’s complicated)

Getting Comfortable w/ Xcode 4 (Mugunth)

• Should remove "Navigating the navigators", and anything UI specific
• Add LLVM 4 and Xcode 4.4 specific stuff
• Should add a section explaining the most commonly used build settings (What happens when PNG compression is turned on and other such options that people normally don't use. That's settings that we use often other than code signing, minimum deployment, header/library/framework search paths)
• xcconfig might be under utilized, but I guess it is a good to know thing. Let's have that for now.
• Perhaps put migrating to ARC here (may need chapter)
