     * '''boinc.pbproj''' is obsolete and should no longer be used.
     * '''wxMac-BOINC.xcodeproj''' was needed for building older versions of the wxMac library in conjunction with the older versions of the setupForBoinc.sh or buildWxMac.sh scripts. It is not used for BOINC 5.9.2 or later.
-    * '''boinc.xcodeproj''' builds BOINC. It can be used either with the BuildMacBOINC.sh script or as a stand-alone project. It has three extra build configurations, i386-Deployment and ppc-Deployment, which can be used for testing only to build for just one architecture, and Deployment-no64 to build only 32-bit products. The Development build configuration builds only the native architecture and is used for debugging. The Deployment build configuration builds a universal binary and is suitable for release builds.

 The GDB debugger can't attach to applications which are running as a different user or group so it ignores the S_ISUID and S_ISGID permission bits when launching an application. To work around this, BOINC does not use the special boinc_master or boinc_project users or groups when run from XCode.
 
-The Development build only of the BOINC Manager allows you to change the ownership and permission settings of the BOINC Data and executables by entering an administrator user name and password. This also streamlines the development cycle by avoiding the need to run the installer for every change.

 Apple converted all its lines of computers to Intel processors during 2006.  The early Intel Macs used the Core Duo processor, which is a 32-bit CPU.  Later Intel processors, including the Core 2 Duo, can run both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.  However, BOINC will run in 64-bit mode only under OS 10.5 and later.
 
-All current releases of BOINC include "universal binary" builds for the Macintosh of BOINC Manager, command-line BOINC client and the boinc_cmd command-line tool.  (Universal binaries contain both PowerPC and Intel executables in one file; the Macintosh OS automatically selects the appropriate one for that computer.)  Beginning with version 6.1, the BOINC Client and libraries also include the 64-bit Intel architecture as part of the universal binaries.

 The advantage of 'universal binaries' is that you only need to have one copy of the application, and it will run on either PowerPC or Intel Macs, so users don't need to choose between two options. Since BOINC participants manually download BOINC from the web site, we will be providing BOINC in 'universal binary' form.
 
-However, participants do not manually download project applications; this is done automatically by BOINC. So there would be no advantage to combining the Intel and PowerPC versions in a single 'universal binary' file, but doing so would double the size of the download.

 Starting with BOINC 5.9.7, the Intel BOINC Client accepts powerpc-apple-darwin applications if no i686-apple-darwin is available.   The OS will run it in compatibility mode, emulating a PowerPC.  (Apple calls this compatibility mode Rosetta, which of course has nothing to do with the Rosetta BOINC project.)
