The current emphasis of the base library is MacOS-X compatibility, + and the headers in this release mark many non-MacOS-X methods as being + scheduled for removal by the next release (from 1.17.0).
+ These methods will mostly be moved to the 'additions' library, + (which can be built stand-alone in conjunction with the Cocoa Foundation + framework as libgnustep-baseadd on OSX) and their declarations will + be in the headers of that library (<GNUstepBase/...>) rather + than in the Foundation directory.
+ NB. The markup in the headers and documentation should not be + assumed to be exhaustive ... it is planned that the next stable + release of the base library will enforce MacOS-X compatibility + by default, and you will have to explicitly include headers from + <GNUstepBase/...> in order to use GNUstep specific + additions.
+ You should track the unstable branch of the base library (subversion + trunk) to find out what changes your software actually needs to make. +
