Dashcode<br />

Dashcode (Figure A-19) is another new developer application included in <strong>Leopard</strong>. Dashcode is<br />

an IDE designed for creating Dashboard widgets. It includes a number of templates for popular<br />

types of widgets, an extensible code snippet library, an integrated text editor, and drag-and-drop<br />

widget-design facilities.<br />

Darwin (UNIX)<br />

APPENDIX A WHAT’S NEW WITH LEOPARD 541<br />

Behind the Aqua interface, Apple made a number of improvements to the UNIX underpinnings<br />

of <strong>Leopard</strong> as well. Rather than covering them all (which would be a lot), here are a few highlights:<br />

• The Terminal app for accessing Darwin is greatly improved, and includes tabbed windows.<br />

• Apache2 is now the default web server in <strong>Leopard</strong>.<br />

• Perl, Python, and Ruby have all been updated to current versions.<br />

• Ruby on Rails is now included as part of <strong>Leopard</strong>.
