Hi Everyone, I’ve just pushed out a new release of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime. There are no changes between this and the release candidate that’s currently in FreeBSD ports, so hopefully there will be no surprises.
David GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.8 =============================== This the ninth official release of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (a.k.a. libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support the features of modern dialects of Objective-C for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs. Highlights of this release include: - Added API for tracing, allowing interposition on all message sends matching a given selector. - Numerous bug fixes and stability improvements. You may obtain the code for this release from git and use the 1.8 branch: https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2.git Alternatively, a tarball is available from: https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/archive/v1.8.zip https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/archive/v1.8.tar.gz The runtime library is responsible for implementing the core features of the object model, as well as exposing introspection features to the user. The GNUstep runtime implements Apple's Objective-C Runtime APIs, and a small number of GCC APIs for legacy compatibility. This library is based on the Étoilé Objective-C Runtime, an earlier research prototype, and includes support for non-fragile instance variables, type-dependent dispatch, and object planes. It is fully backwards compatible with the FSF's GCC 4.2.1 Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is supported by Clang and Étoilé's LanguageKit and is required for some of the newer features. If you come across any problems, please file them in the issue tracker: https://github.com/gnustep/libobjc2/issues -- Sent from my PDP-11 -- If you have a working or partly working program that you'd like to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package, see https://www.gnu.org/help/evaluation.html.
