Haven't done much with dispatch_io yet so I'd appreciate a few more eyeballs on this. Am I closing things correctly in all error conditions? Are there other knobs I could change to make things even faster? (I know I've been lazy on the NSError's)
static NSData *PSPDFCalculateSHA256FromFileURL(NSURL *fileURL, CC_LONG dataLength, NSError **error) {
NSCParameterAssert(fileURL);
dispatch_queue_t shaQueue = dispatch_queue_create("com.pspdfkit.sha256-queue", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL);
__block dispatch_io_t readChannel;
void (^processIntError)(int intError) = ^(int intError) {
if (intError != 0) {
PSPDFLogWarning(@"Stream error: %d", intError);
if (error) *error = [NSError errorWithDomain:@"SHA256Error" code:100 userInfo:@{NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: @"failed to open file for calculating SHA256."}];

After playing around with dispatch_io (https://gist.github.com/steipete/b22babbf3014e29c19f0), I ended up with this. Upside: Uses way less memory, controllable caching, similar performance, simpler code and supports priority donation implicitly since everything's sync.
static NSData *PSPDFCalculateSHA256FromFileURL(NSURL *fileURL, CC_LONG dataLength, NSError **error) {
NSCParameterAssert(fileURL);
NSData *shaData;
int fd = open(fileURL.path.UTF8String, O_RDONLY);
if (fd < 0) {
if (error) *error = [NSError pspdf_errorWithCode:PSPDFErrorCodeUnableToOpenPDF description:@"Failed to open file for calculating SHA256."];
return nil;
}

To support the table of contents button in the OS X Help Book app you need to implement the following code. This isn't documented anywhere but I found it in Apple's own help files and tested it to work. I believe it only works in the more recent versions of OS X, so you if your app supports really old versions you might want to check it.
//disable TOC button
window.HelpViewer.showTOCButton(false);
//enable TOC button
//If you call this on window load it will flash active for a brief second and then disable again.
//Call if after a delay of 250ms and is works fine
//Not sure what the second variable does yet, but passing false works fine
window.HelpViewer.showTOCButton( true, false, function() {
//do something to toggle TOC in your webpage
});

Synchronizing with multiple GCD queues
//
// DON'T do this, or else you risk a deadlock (e.g., by accidentally performing it in a different order somewhere)
//
dispatch_async(firstQueue, ^{
dispatch_sync(secondQueue, ^{
// code requiring both queues
});
});

# Faster toolchain build: skips as much as possible.
#
# To use this toolchain from the command line:"
# export TOOLCHAINS=$(whoami)
#
# we build to the same prefix every time (instead of building
# to a versioned prefix) because every time the prefix changes
# *everything* rebuilds.

How to convert from DispatchData to Data without copying the bytes
import Dispatch
import Foundation
var x = 7
let dd = withUnsafeBytes(of: &x, { DispatchData.init(bytes: $0) })
print(dd as? Data) // Case 1: nil
print(dd as? NSData) // Case 2: nil
print(dd as Any as? Data) // Case 3: nil
print(dd as Any as? NSData) // Case 4: .some
print(dd as Any as? NSData as Data?) // Case 5: .some
