The GNUstep Base Library, version 1.1.0, is now available.

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),
event loops, and random number generators.

   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'.

Noteworthy changes in version `1.1.0'
=====================================

   * Removed use of distributed lock to sync defaults file.

   * Compiles on Darwin (but does not work yet).

   * New tool autogsdoc for inline Objective-C documentation.

   * Some NSBundle convenience methods for associating resources with
     libraries and tools (like a lightweight framework).

   * URL classes improved and more robust.

   * Better operation in MinGW environment.

   * New localization files.

   * XML property lists

Where can you get it?  How can you compile it?
==============================================

   The gnustep-base-1.1.0.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.

   The library requires gcc 2.8.0 or higher.  See the `GNUstep-HOWTO'
file for more instructions about compiling and installing the library.
