**************
The GNUstep Base Library, version 1.24.9, 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 '1.24.9'
==========================================
* Niels added support for generics
* Support for 'ng' runtime library (latest language features enabled)
* Performance optimisations and improved diagnostic messages
* Garbage Collection deprecated (support to be removed)
* As usual, this release also contains an update to include the most
recent international timezone data.
