1.1 What is the GNUstep Base Library?
|
|
|
|
|
=====================================

|
The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose, non-graphical
|
|
|
|
|
Objective C objects. For example, it includes classes for strings,
|
|
|
|
|
object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations,
|
|
|
|
|
notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports,
|
|
|
|
|
remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops.
|

|
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical

|
|
|
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).

1.2 Noteworthy changes in version `1.24.8'
|
2010-05-09 04:11:39 +00:00
|
|
|
==========================================
|
2009-05-10 20:32:46 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-15 08:57:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* Performance optimisations (particularly in the use of tiny string
|
|
|
|
|
objects by the new objc runtime on 64bit systems).
|
2011-04-14 02:38:09 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2015-05-15 08:57:32 +00:00
|
|
|
* Thread naming and logging of threads by NSLog() has been made
|
|
|
|
|
consistent with the latest OSX releases, making debugging of
|
|
|
|
|
multithreaded code a little easier.

|
|
|
* Sergei Golovin has added NSURLConnection regression tests (while
|
|
|
|
|
fixing a few bugs there).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* As usual, this release also contains an update to include the most
|
|
|
|
|
recent international timezone data.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Various other bugfixes.
