1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '0.26.0'
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '0.26.1'
==========================================

This version was bumped due to previous binary incompatibilities between
0.25.0 and 0.25.1. This version also includes numerous compatibility
improvements from the Summer of Code project, and a wide variety of
other fixes. Notably, it fixes the use of cupsGetPPD() in the printing
system.

* printing: Add an include to get deprecated function cupsGetPPD() on
newer CUPS systems.
* chore: Bump required base version.
* tiff: Support for writing resolution.
* jpeg: Save resolution information if it is different from 72 dpi.
* save panel: Fix return type of sorting function.
* events: Add some newer Cocoa enums and one method with dummy
implementation.
* speech synthesis: NSSpeechSynthesizerDelegate is now a @protocol on
runtimes that support it.
* pasteboard: New type identifiers.
* translations: Some work on Polish, Russian and German translations
* cell: Improvements to mouse tracking logic on NSCell.
* image: If an unknown named image is unarchived with a coder or
keyed coder, keep the name.
* screen: Add -backingScaleFactor and return 1.0.
* window: Return 1.0 from -backingScaleFactor.

* compatibility: Numerous stub implementations of constants, classes
and methods to improve source-level compatibility.
* other bugfixes
This version is released to conincide with version 1.25.1 of
gnustep-base, which contains changes required for this version of
gnustep-gui and gnustep-back.

It includes an important workaround for users of GNUstep Objective-C
Runtime (libobjc2) and non-fragile ABI to avoid a bug in interaction
between the clang compiler and the runtime when non-fragile ABI is in
use. Specifically, Clang and the runtime may disagree on what is the
offset of an ivar in a class's RAM. This manifested in a crash at
application startup due to misalignment of _gcontext inside NSThread.
See the mailing list discussion
(http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2017-12/msg00129.html)
for more information.

It also contains the following changes:

* tests: Cleanup of warnings.
* tests: Fix text system deallocation test.
* printing: Undefine __BLOCKS__ before including cups.h, as some
versions of the header expect that libdispatch is present and used
if __BLOCKS__ is defined.
* graphics context: Workaround for Clang+libobjc2+nonfragile ABI
issue.
