Nate True's Weblog http://cre.ations.net/$base_path Thoughts and musings from Nate True, casual inventor."; en-us Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:30:47 -0600 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 08:30:47 -0600 custom http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss <![CDATA[iPhone firmware 1.0.2 released and analyzed, hopes for new features dashed]]> Alright, here's the skinny on what's changed in the new iPhone firmware (1.0.2):

- /private/var/db/localtime has been changed from a file to a symlink, looks like a fix related to time zones.

- The kernel caches in /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/ have been changed. So a few changes in the kernel. The new kernels are actually smaller by about 6 kilobytes.

- The Info.plist for the Multitouch driver in /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMultitouchSPI.kext has been changed. This corresponds with what appears to be reprogrammed multitouch firmware, possibly fixing some multitouch issues for some.

- A few files have been rearranged, for the IOKit, MultitouchSupport, OfficeImport, and System frameworks (/System/Library/Frameworks). Looks like they've replaced some static folders with symlinks into the Versions folder of each framework. Possibly a backward compatibility move? I'm just thinking...
