Xcode Tip: Updating your documentation
It appears that the Dev Center at Apple just updated its documentation set today. If you're using Xcode 3.2 and you want to update your documentation, you might be looking in the wrong place.
Before 3.2, you used to update your documentation in the Developer Documentation window (Help > Developer Documentation, or Command-Option-?). Now you'll find your documentation sets in the Xcode Preferences window (Xcode > Preferences... or Command-, and then choose the Documentation tab). Also, if checked, Xcode will automatically update your documentation when you launch it.
This Documentation panel offers subscription options for installing a documentation set (such as, for example, Mac OS X Legacy Library or iPhone OS 2.2 Library) as well as a handy Check and Install Now button that lets you request the latest updates. Use this to keep on top of the latest documentation updates.
Thanks, Scott Lawrence and @zadr

I have to say, these kind of 'updates' suck, as you never know when the documentation is updated, and when you have a company with 30 or 40 developers, everybody gets to individually download these 400 Gb updaters...
It would be WAY better to be a) notified, just like say, Apple Software Update does, that an update is available and would you like to install it (possibly with a 'just install it and all new ones without notifying me' button) and b) at least use a package to install the updated documentation, and enable saving this package to install on other computers (or even the current one if you say, hose it as part of developing software).
And yes, I submitted a bug report requesting this a LONG time ago.

One nice thing...while you're in that documentation tab in Xcode's preferences, you can hit the info button for each set you want to keep track of, inside that info panel you'll find a feed URL that you can copy and paste out into any RSS reader (its an Atom-formatted feed) to keep tabs on things from an easier perspective.
