GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 2.2.1
GNUstep Objective-C Runtime 2.3
=================================

This a bugfix release for the second update to the second major release of
the GNUstep Objective-C runtime (a.k.a. libobjc2). This runtime was designed
to support the features of modern dialects of Objective-C for use with GNUstep and
other Objective-C programs.
This is the third update to the second major release of the GNUstep
Objective-C runtime (a.k.a. libobjc2). This runtime was designed to support
the features of modern dialects of Objective-C for use with GNUstep and other
Objective-C programs.

Highlights of this release include:

- Various improvements for building and using libobjc2 on MinGW.
- Improved support for the PowerPC architecture.
- A fix for the detection of the tls-robin-map dependency.

You may obtain the code for this release from git and use the 2.2.1 branch:
- The blocks runtime from swift-corelibs-libdispatch can now be used instead of
the runtime included in libobjc2.
- The blocks runtime is now capable of selecting block trampolines based on the
current page size at runtime. It now supports AArch64 targets with 16 KiB
page sizes, fixing a segmentation fault on Asahi Linux and Android 15 devices
with 16 KiB page sizes. For PowerPC64, the trampoline page size was adjusted to
64 KiB.
- Implemented the method_getTypedSelector_np function.
- The AArch64 objc_msgSend implementation now conforms to the Visual Studio
ABI's sret mechanism for non-trivial data types.
- Differences in the x86_64 calling convention have been addressed in the
objc_msgSend implementation.
- The robin map dependency was updated to version 1.4.0.
- Associated objects are now properly retained and autoreleased.
- Several bug fixes in the fast-path code.
- Built-in classes no longer rely on load order.
- Various memory leaks have been fixed.

You may obtain the code for this release from git and use the 2.3 branch:

The runtime library is responsible for implementing the core features of the
object model, as well as exposing introspection features to the user. The
