=====================================
@ -18,45 +18,155 @@ portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at
'http://www.gnustep.org'.
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '1.26.0'
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '1.27.0'
==========================================
* Improve utf8 validity checks.
* Make point and size subclasses for NSValue interchangable.
* Add support for TLS SNI. Always request certificate from client and
update certificates after 5 minutes.
* Don't write deprecated fields to desktop link file.
* Use NSLock instead of GSLazyLock and other improvements for
multithreaded processes.
* Clean up of NSString cluster.
* Update NSAssert() and NSCAssert() to handle variable arguments (as
OSX has done) and mark the numbered macros as obsolete.
* Various improvements in tests.
* Require ICU >= 50.
* ICU is now detected using pkg-config.
* Improve XML parsing.
* Make NSXMLNode ivar a union representing different types, instead
of assuming it will contain different underlying class types in
different contexts. This is important for the new libobjc2 ABI.
* OSX compatibility changes to NSURL.
* NSFileManager call error handle on missing file.
* Dummy spinlock implementation for platforms that don't support it.
* Internationalization improvements: Japanese translation, Turkish
translation, Polish translation.
* Various improvements for new libobjc2 "v2 ABI", including things
like a new NSConstantString implementation, making
GS_REPLACE_CONSTANT_STRING a noop with the new ABI, etc.
* Improvements for stack traces, exception handling and dead lock
detection.
* Other more minor bugfixes and cleanups. Many found by Coverity
scan results.
* As usual, this release also contains an update to include the most
recent international timezone data.
Aside from an assortment of bugfixes, this release includes a lot of
improvements for Android support as well as numerous new classes and
methods.
* Expose GNU TLS wrappers and add methods to get certificate expiry.
* Improve thread safety when using zombies, particularly on
statup/shutdown.
* Improvements for Ukrainian localization.
* Decreased ICU requirements to 49 to support Windows 2000.
* Simplifications and fixes in GSPrivateSymbolPath().
* GSMime improvements (word encoding specifier, utf-8 improvements
encoding quoted words with multibyte characters)
* NSJSONSerialization fixes for codepoints over 0x7f.
* NSCharacterSet support for URL*AllowedCharacterSet and declarations
for new character sets.
* NSString implementations for new methods
stringByRemovingPercentEncoding/
stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacterSet:.
* Fixed a crash in gdomap when an invalid hostname is given for the
-M option.
* In NSString.m, removed functions urldecode() and ishex() which were
mistakenly neither namespaced nor declared static and thus could
have conflicted with non-library code.
* Fixed libdispatch configuration switch so -enable-libdispatch works
correctly; correctly checking for HAVE_LIBDISPATCH_RUNLOOP.
* Updated libdispatch runloop integration so it is compatible with
Swift's corelibs libdispatch release (from
github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch). The libdispatch must
be compiled with INSTALL_PRIVATE_HEADERS=YES.
* In NSThread, spinlocks implemented using builtins to be able to
target platforms without pthread_spin_lock(), such as Android
targeting API level < 24.
* In NSLog on Android, send logs to syslog.
* Implementation of NSOrderedSet.
* When ./configuring, link against libandroid on Android.
* In NSBundle, allow integrating with Android asset manager using
+[NSBundle setJavaAssetManager:withJNIEnv:], enabling use of
mainBundle's pathForResource:ofType:, -URLForResource:ofType: and
similar; referencing Info.plist if it exists in Android assets; use
of NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: et al and
isReadableFileAtPath:; reading files using NSFileHandle APIs; use
of NSDirectoryEnumerator to enumerate Android assets from the main
bundle.
* In NSBundle, localization support on Android.
* In NSProcessInfo, automatic initialization on Android using a fake
executable path (/data/data/<app identifier>/Resources).
* In NSData, improvements in reading Android assets.
* Various improvements in the mechanism to report memory usage of
individual objects.
* Skeletal implementation of NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.
* Implementation of NSByteCountFormatter.
* Fixes to writing large HTTPS requests (GSSocketStream,
NSURLProtocol).
* In gdomap.c, fix detection of local networks.
* In NSArray's -removeObjectsInArray:, prevent some crashes.
* In GSTLS, avoid setting session priority twice.
* In NSFileHandle, fix so that setting certificate information does
not discard any other options already set.
* In GSXML's -fatalErrorFunction, use the correct function to get the
line number.
* In NSOperation's _execute, ensure lock gets released on an error by
surrounding with NS_DURING.
* Generics support in NSHashTable.
* Implementation of NSProgress.
* Skeleton implementation of NSURLComponents.
* In NSSortDescriptor, added
-sortDescriptorWithKey:ascending:descending:.
* In NSOperationQueue, added -addOperationWithBlock.
* In NSFileManager, added
-URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error: and
-enumeratorAtURL:includingPropertiesForKeys:options:errorHandler:.
Also added NSItemReplacementDirectory constant, and updated stub
implementation for -URLForDirectory:shouldCreate:error:. Added
-initWithDirectoryPath:... with additional parameters skipHidden
and errorHandler.
* In NSDictionary, fixed keysSortedByValueUsingComparator:.
* Moved NSFileWrapper from -gui to -base.
* Added NSFilePresenter, NSFileVersion and NSFileCoordinator.
* Added NSPersonComponents and NSPersonNameComponentsFormatter.
* Added units of measurement classes such as NSUnit, NSMeasurement,
NSMeasurementFormatter, NSEnergyFormatter, NSLengthFormatter,
NSMassFormatter.
* In NSUnit, support for NSUnitArea, NSUnitConcentrationMass,
NSUnitDispersion, NSUnitElectricCharge, NSUnitIlluminance,
NSUnitElectricCurrent, NSUnitElectricPotentionDifference,
NSElectricResistance, NSUnitMass, NSUnitEnergy, NSUnitFrequency,
NSUnitPower, NSUnitSpeed, NSUnitFuelEfficiency, NSUnitPressure,
NSUnitVolume, NSUnitLength.
* Support for data directory on Android introduces
GSInitializeProcessAndroid and makes use of the path returned by
Context.getFilesDir() as the basis for storing data (e.g.
NSUserDefaults) and when querying for directory paths
(NSLibraryDirectory, NSApplicationSupportDirectory, etc.).
* Placeholder NSScript* classes. Added NSUserActivity,
NSObjectScripting, NSHFSFileTypes, NSAppleEventManager and
NSAppleEventDescriptor.
* Added NSDateInterval intersectionWithDateInterval:.
* Added NSBackgroundActivityScheduler.
* Added NSISO8601DateFormatter and NSMetadataAttributes.
* Added NSOrtogrpahy and NSLinguisticTagger.
* Added NSExtensionItem, NSExtensionContext,
NSExtensionRequestHandling, and NSItemProvider and
NSItemProviderReadingWriting.
* Updated timezone info for NSTimeZones.
* On Android, support for NSTemporaryDirectory to use
Context.getCacheDir(), and cleaning it up in
GSInitializeProcessAndroid() given there is no support for temp
directory before Android API 26. Also used with NSCachesDirectory
+ NSUserDomainMask.
* NSXPCConnection fixes.
* NSException symbolication support using libunwind (used when
backtrace() is unavailable).
* Travis build improvements to use new runloop integration and
gnustep-2.0 runtime.
* In NSKeyValueObserving, implement two missing methods for NSArray:
-addObserver:options:context: and
-removeObserver:fromObjectsAtIndexes:forKeyPath:.
* Updated NSUUID to use instancetype.
* Added support for NSDate constants in NSPredicate.
* Fixed a NSTimer bug with blocks.
* In GSTLS, do not put password in the hash key of the credentials,
and to avoid logging it when debugging is on.
* Improvements in NSConcreteHashTable and NSConcreteMapTable.
* In various places, switch away from deprecated
CREATE_AUTORELEASE_POOL() to use the ARC-compatible ENTER_POOL and
LEAVE_POOL macros.
* When building the list of hosts to be probed to see if they have
gdomap servers, fix code to include those explicitly defined in the
config file. Add -S option to list the addresses of the known
gdomap servers.
* Backward compatibility fix for ICU 65.
* Update GSPrivateSymbolPath() so that, on the path where
LINKER_GETSYMBOL is not available, we attempt to lookup classes
using the prefix ._OBJC_CLASS_ for the 2.0 ABI (earlier ABIs use a
prefix of __objc_class_name_ for the class definition.
* Fix parsing of NSURLResponse content type header.
* Fix for class lookup when using the 2.0 ABI.
* Fixed NSURLComponents setURL: throwing exceptions when URL didn't
have all expected parts caused by rangeOfString: throwing for nil
values.
* Added NSURLQueryItem implementation.
