<heading>Version 1.30.0</heading>
<p>
</p>
<p>Implementation of weak references for the GNU runtime, so that
weak references are now supported/available in portable code, and
in conjunction with NSPointerFunction fixes we now support weak
references in NSMapTable, NSHashTable, and NSPointerArray as well
as supporting automatic deregestration of deallocated observers
in NSNotificationCenter.
</p>
<p>Autogsdoc updated to support modern CSS based HTML and provide
simple diagrams of inheritence in the reference documentation.
</p>
<p>New experimental implementation of NSURLSession ... we still
need work to replace non-portable (blocks dependent) code before
it can be a supported class.
</p>
<p>New KeyValueObserving code for Clang and GNUstep runtime.
</p>
<p>Other new methods/features<br />
BSByteOrder fixes for NSSwappedFloat and NSSwappedDouble<br />
[NSDate] small object optimisation when using Clang<br />
-[NSFileManager URLsForDirectory:inDomains:]<br />
NSGeometry missing functions implemented<br />
[NSInvocation] missing typedefs implemented<br />
[NSOperation] threads are now named for easy identification<br />
[NSPredicate] BETWEEN operator for more types<br />
-[NSString enumerateLinesUsingBlock:]<br />
[NSThread] priority support now working on Android<br />
[NSString] NSRegularExpressionSearch option<br />
[NSString] ICU collator cached for improved performance<br />
-[NSURLRequest assumesHTTP3Capable]<br />
-[NSURLRequest setAssumesHTTP3Capable:]<br />
[NSUserDefaults] use bundle identifier rather than program name<br />
[NSValue] edge insets added<br />
-[NSZombie logZombie:]<br />
</p>
<p>Support for being built with the '-asan yes' command line option
or the GNUSTEP_WITH_ASAN=1 environment variable setting. The library
is also aware when it was not built with that option but is linked to
an executable which was (and a few features which confuse the leak
checker are turned off). In addition NSObject+GNUstepBase.h declares
new methods for tracking the ownership of objects of a particular
class (or individual instances) to help in identifying the cause of
any leak found by the leak sanitizer.
</p>
<p>Many minor bugfixes and very, very many minor memory leaks fixed
in both the library and the automated testcases.
</p>
<p>Removed deprecated locking code and changed many classes to use
lightweight and more fine-grained locking for simple cases protecting
short regions. We retain a global lock for more complex situations
where there is a significant chance of deadlock.
</p>
<p>Several symbols (variables and functions) which were accidentally
public have been made static or internal to the library.
</p>
<p>Updated to work with recent versions of autoconf.
