xcode for mac os x 10.6.8

i'm getting conflicting info on xcode. i'm currently running mac os x 10.6.8 and have the xcode_3.2.6_and_ios_sdk_4.3.dmg installer.


wikipedia says version 4.2 is compatible with mac os x 10.6:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode_Tools

"Mac OS X 10.6 (Versions 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2)"


i thought xcode 3.2.6 was the _last_ version that worked with mac os x 10.6.8? if not, any idea where i can find version 4.2 for mac os x 10.6.8?

Apple want to force people to there new (very bad) OSX 10.7 - and I'm not willing to "upgrade", because I still want to be in charge of my computer!


So, either Apple will make the download of OSX 4.0.2 / 4.2 for Snow Leopard FREE, or it will end up on a external download server.


Its not that hard, just let normal developers (without the $99 "extra") download the .dmg.

To put things straight:-


The latest available xcode version for Snow Leopard is 4.2


It would be provided for download only to a registered iOS Developer (99$ fee). Once your membership is activated, you can start seeing the "XCode 4.2 for Snow Leopard" in the list of downloads (search for "xcode 4.2" here - https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action)


Any releases post 4.2 are not available for SL (including the patch release 4.2.1). They are provided only for Lion.
