More than two years ago we reviewed the first edition of the excellent book by Aaron Hillegass, "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X". The second edition has just being released and we will be taking a quick look as to what's new.

"NOTE: Exception handling is only supported in Mac OS X 10.3"
Is this still true? That would be a major bummer.
No, exception handling in ObjC existed way before OSX 10.3; but a new exception handling mechanism was introduced in 10.3, and _this_ mechanism isn't supported on older apple gcc (nor it is on the fsf gcc for the moment, by the way), which is quite normal.
