Keychain Experience?

[Frank Engel]

I'm not sure I fully understand this, or else this has been changed 
with the newer versions of Rev.

The "internal" executable name matches the name of my program, and 
CFBundleName = CFBundleExecutable now.


Besides which, the keychain supposedly keeps some kind of hash or 
something of the application code itself, so that if the application 
code changes (as in appending the stack onto the end of the engine 
file), it should automatically see this as a different program (or an 
upgraded program), which it does not seem to do -- making this just a 
hair more confusing for me.
