1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '1.27.0'

==========================================

24-
* Improve utf8 validity checks.
25-
* Make point and size subclasses for NSValue interchangable.
26-
* Add support for TLS SNI. Always request certificate from client and
27-
update certificates after 5 minutes.
28-
* Don't write deprecated fields to desktop link file.
29-
* Use NSLock instead of GSLazyLock and other improvements for
30-
multithreaded processes.
31-
* Clean up of NSString cluster.
32-

33-
OSX has done) and mark the numbered macros as obsolete.
34-
* Various improvements in tests.
35-
* Require ICU >= 50.
36-
* ICU is now detected using pkg-config.
37-
* Improve XML parsing.
38-
* Make NSXMLNode ivar a union representing different types, instead
39-
of assuming it will contain different underlying class types in
40-
different contexts. This is important for the new libobjc2 ABI.
41-
* OSX compatibility changes to NSURL.
42-
* NSFileManager call error handle on missing file.
43-
* Dummy spinlock implementation for platforms that don't support it.
44-
* Internationalization improvements: Japanese translation, Turkish
45-
translation, Polish translation.
46-

47-
like a new NSConstantString implementation, making
48-
GS_REPLACE_CONSTANT_STRING a noop with the new ABI, etc.
49-
* Improvements for stack traces, exception handling and dead lock
50-
detection.
51-
* Other more minor bugfixes and cleanups. Many found by Coverity
52-
scan results.
53-

54-
recent international timezone data.
24+

25+
improvements for Android support as well as numerous new classes and
26+
methods.
27+
28+
* Expose GNU TLS wrappers and add methods to get certificate expiry.
29+
* Improve thread safety when using zombies, particularly on
30+
statup/shutdown.

33+
* Simplifications and fixes in GSPrivateSymbolPath().
34+

35+
encoding quoted words with multibyte characters)
36+
* NSJSONSerialization fixes for codepoints over 0x7f.
37+
* NSCharacterSet support for URL*AllowedCharacterSet and declarations
38+
for new character sets.
39+
* NSString implementations for new methods
40+
stringByRemovingPercentEncoding/
41+
stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacterSet:.
42+
* Fixed a crash in gdomap when an invalid hostname is given for the
43+
-M option.
44+
* In NSString.m, removed functions urldecode() and ishex() which were
45+
mistakenly neither namespaced nor declared static and thus could
46+
have conflicted with non-library code.
47+
* Fixed libdispatch configuration switch so -enable-libdispatch works
48+
correctly; correctly checking for HAVE_LIBDISPATCH_RUNLOOP.
49+
* Updated libdispatch runloop integration so it is compatible with
50+
Swift's corelibs libdispatch release (from
51+
github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch). The libdispatch must
52+
be compiled with INSTALL_PRIVATE_HEADERS=YES.
53+
* In NSThread, spinlocks implemented using builtins to be able to
54+
target platforms without pthread_spin_lock(), such as Android
55+
targeting API level < 24.
56+
* In NSLog on Android, send logs to syslog.
57+
* Implementation of NSOrderedSet.
58+
* When ./configuring, link against libandroid on Android.
59+
* In NSBundle, allow integrating with Android asset manager using
60+
+[NSBundle setJavaAssetManager:withJNIEnv:], enabling use of
61+
mainBundle's pathForResource:ofType:, -URLForResource:ofType: and
62+
similar; referencing Info.plist if it exists in Android assets; use
63+
of NSFileManager's fileExistsAtPath: et al and
64+
isReadableFileAtPath:; reading files using NSFileHandle APIs; use
65+
of NSDirectoryEnumerator to enumerate Android assets from the main
66+
bundle.
67+
* In NSBundle, localization support on Android.
68+
* In NSProcessInfo, automatic initialization on Android using a fake
69+
executable path (/data/data/<app identifier>/Resources).
70+
* In NSData, improvements in reading Android assets.
71+
* Various improvements in the mechanism to report memory usage of
72+
individual objects.
73+
* Skeletal implementation of NSUbiquitousKeyValueStore.
74+
* Implementation of NSByteCountFormatter.
75+
* Fixes to writing large HTTPS requests (GSSocketStream,
76+
NSURLProtocol).
77+
* In gdomap.c, fix detection of local networks.
78+
* In NSArray's -removeObjectsInArray:, prevent some crashes.
79+
* In GSTLS, avoid setting session priority twice.
80+
* In NSFileHandle, fix so that setting certificate information does
81+
not discard any other options already set.
82+
* In GSXML's -fatalErrorFunction, use the correct function to get the
83+
line number.
84+
* In NSOperation's _execute, ensure lock gets released on an error by
85+
surrounding with NS_DURING.
86+
* Generics support in NSHashTable.
87+
* Implementation of NSProgress.
88+
* Skeleton implementation of NSURLComponents.
89+
* In NSSortDescriptor, added
90+
-sortDescriptorWithKey:ascending:descending:.
91+
* In NSOperationQueue, added -addOperationWithBlock.
92+
* In NSFileManager, added
93+
-URLForDirectory:inDomain:appropriateForURL:create:error: and
94+
-enumeratorAtURL:includingPropertiesForKeys:options:errorHandler:.
95+
Also added NSItemReplacementDirectory constant, and updated stub
96+
implementation for -URLForDirectory:shouldCreate:error:. Added
97+
-initWithDirectoryPath:... with additional parameters skipHidden
98+
and errorHandler.
99+
* In NSDictionary, fixed keysSortedByValueUsingComparator:.
100+
* Moved NSFileWrapper from -gui to -base.
101+
* Added NSFilePresenter, NSFileVersion and NSFileCoordinator.

111+

113+
GSInitializeProcessAndroid and makes use of the path returned by
114+
Context.getFilesDir() as the basis for storing data (e.g.
115+
NSUserDefaults) and when querying for directory paths
116+
(NSLibraryDirectory, NSApplicationSupportDirectory, etc.).
117+
* Placeholder NSScript* classes. Added NSUserActivity,

NSExtensionRequestHandling, and NSItemProvider and

NSItemProviderReadingWriting.
127+
* Updated timezone info for NSTimeZones.
128+
* On Android, support for NSTemporaryDirectory to use
129+

132+
+ NSUserDomainMask.

137+
gnustep-2.0 runtime.
138+
* In NSKeyValueObserving, implement two missing methods for NSArray:
139+

140+
-removeObserver:fromObjectsAtIndexes:forKeyPath:.
141+
* Updated NSUUID to use instancetype.
142+
* Added support for NSDate constants in NSPredicate.
143+
* Fixed a NSTimer bug with blocks.

LEAVE_POOL macros.
150+

151+
gdomap servers, fix code to include those explicitly defined in the
152+
config file. Add -S option to list the addresses of the known
153+
gdomap servers.
154+
* Backward compatibility fix for ICU 65.
155+
* Update GSPrivateSymbolPath() so that, on the path where
156+
LINKER_GETSYMBOL is not available, we attempt to lookup classes
157+
using the prefix ._OBJC_CLASS_ for the 2.0 ABI (earlier ABIs use a
158+
prefix of __objc_class_name_ for the class definition.
159+
* Fix parsing of NSURLResponse content type header.
160+
* Fix for class lookup when using the 2.0 ABI.
161+
