**************
The GNUstep Base Library, version 1.25.0, is now available.
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).
There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at
'http://www.gnustep.org'.
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '1.25.0'
==========================================
* Garbage collection support removed (NSGarbageCollector stub
remains)
* Support for Debian style multi-architecture installations added
* OpenSSL bundle removed since it didn't match GNUTLS support
* Ported to Debian/Hurd
* ICU string (regexp in particular) fixes
* OSX compatibity changes in NSRunLoop and NSTask behavior
* Alternative sort algorithms selectable at runtime
