GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 1.0
===============================
This is the first official release of the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (a.k.a.
libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support the features of Objective-C 2
for use with GNUstep and other Objective-C programs.
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.
