The developer downloads page now lists an Xcode 26.1 which was released on 11th Dec (the original Xcode 26.1 was posted on 3rd Nov).

Strangely, this new Xcode 26.1 has a CFBundleShortVersionString of 26.1.1, and a DTXcodeBuild of 17B55

% ls -ln

% xip --expand Xcode_26.1_Apple_silicon.xip
xip: signing certificate was "Software Update" (validation not attempted)
xip: expanded items from "/Users/me/Downloads/temp/Xcode_26.1_Apple_silicon.xip"
 % plutil -p Xcode.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep CFBundleShort
  "CFBundleShortVersionString" => "26.1.1"
% plutil -p Xcode.app/Contents/Info.plist | grep DTXcodeBuild
  "DTXcodeBuild" => "17B55"

17B55 does correspond to the original Xcode 26.1 final release. The Xcode 26.1.1 release that was previously posted had a DTXcodeBuild of 17B100, though. The pairing of 26.1.1 and 17B55 looks new and probably a packaging error?

There was a release of Xcode 26.2 that was dated December 4th. Then there was a release of Xcode 26.1 on December 16. Which is the most current? Why was there a later release of 26.1 when there was a ralease of that level in November 11 followed by a 26.1.1? This release strategy is somewhat confusing.
