Announcement ************ The GNUstep Base Library, version 1.12.0, is now available. 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). There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at `http://www.gnustep.org'. Noteworthy changes in version `1.12.0' ====================================== There have been a number of API changes and several methods have been depreciated in this release. Although current GNUstep programs that use these methods will still work in this version, there are enough changes that a new library version was considered useful. See the release notes for more details New NSStream classes where added to the library. User defaults were restructured to create the defaults lazily and can be set to not write to an external file at all, for developers who wish to use the library as a stand-alone library or in other situations where using external resources is not desired. Where can you get it? How can you compile it? ============================================== The gnustep-base-1.12.0.tar.gz distribution file has been placed at .
