This runtime was designed to support the features of Objective-C 2 +for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs. This release contains +several bug fixes, and is tested with the current GNUstep trunk, so will be +compatible with the upcoming GNUstep release. + +You may obtain the code for this release from subversion at the following +subversion branch: + +svn://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/libobjc2/1.2 + +Alternatively, a tarball is available from: + +http://download.gna.org/gnustep/libobjc2-1.2.tar.bz2 + +The runtime library is responsible for implementing the core features of the +object model, as well as exposing introspection features to the user. The +GNUstep runtime implements Apple's Objective-C Runtime APIs, and a small number +of GCC APIs for legacy compatibility. + +This library is based on the Étoilé Objective-C Runtime, an earlier research +prototype, and includes support for non-fragile instance variables, +type-dependent dispatch, and object planes. It is fully compatible with the +FSF's GCC Objective-C ABI and also implements a new ABI that is supported by +Clang and is required for some of the newer features. + +Although the runtime has been tested by several people, and is being used +extensively by the Étoilé project, it is entirely new (MIT licensed) code and +may still contain bugs. If you come across any problems, please report them to +the GNUstep Developer mailing list .
