 These are not done by either the XCode projects which come with wxMac-2.8.7, nor the !AutoMake scripts supplied with wxMac-2.8.7, c-ares-1.5.1, curl-7.18.0, or jpeg-6b. So be sure to use our special scripts to build these packages.

-Version 5.5.4 of BOINC Manager for the Macintosh introduced new, stricter security measures. For details, please see the file [source:trunk/boinc/mac_installer/Readme.rtf Readme.rtf] and web pages [/sandbox.php Sandbox Design] and [SandboxUser Sandbox User].

-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 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, the BOINC ''Development'' build does not use the special boinc_master or boinc_project users or groups, and so can be run under the debugger 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.
