While the idea sounds nice that the tag name is the class, this means the
serialization includes whether something is mutable or immutable. This means
doing as much as making something immutable changes the serialization, which
can then cause issues after being deserialized. file: [30ce632507] check-in: [6ce0093f8d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 13979 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

__COUNTER__ does not exist in GCC 4.2, and Apple GCC 4.2 is still the
newest compiler available for macOS 10.5. file: [a0c731e839] check-in: [ef614a225d] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12980 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This allows ABI stability with the fragile ABI. file: [8a18eb088f] check-in: [496695d778] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12963 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This improves Swift compatibility. file: [38861a1e42] check-in: [f3ccf14461] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12865 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Instead, explicitly declare them, as OF_ASSUME_NONNULL_{BEGIN,END} does
not apply to implicit return types. This means that after this commit,
all init methods have a nonnull return type, as they should have. file: [0e0aeff41f] check-in: [2f4e0df8be] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 13185 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Casts are now written like types in variable declarations. file: [246cb3356f] check-in: [4af49a13c3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12919 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This changes retaining behavior, meaning properties are not returned
retained and autoreleased anymore, so a property returned from a getter
now needs to be manually retained and autoreleased before calling the
setter. However, this is rarely the case and not using atomic improves
performance. file: [1f4a21c910] check-in: [0a73af49f0] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12838 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Forgot to add 2017, even though I already did quite some changes in
2017. file: [703949fdec] check-in: [44f45c2e35] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12794 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

While at it, also update the mail address. file: [15dcc0af32] check-in: [cec0f072f8] user: js, branch: 0.8, size: 13820 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This increases the required GCC version from 4.0 to 4.6 (exception:
Apple GCC, which already supports this with >= 4.0 starting with OS X
10.5). Since even GCC 4.6 is really old by now, there is no point in
still supporting something even older and making the code ugly because
of that. While some hardware and OS support was dropped from GCC 4.6
compared to GCC 4.0, there is nothing in there that would be an
interesting target with the exception of BeOS maybe - but a port to BeOS
can also be achieved using the Haiku support. The other dropped OSes are
mostly old versions of OSes while newer ones are still being supported
(and those newer versions of those OSes still support the same
hardware). file: [a01f4b45ec] check-in: [48980f2297] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 12647 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

This is necessary to make GCC (>= 4.6 and Apple GCC) happy as they don't
like the list of property attributes ending in a comma. file: [f0a48e322d] check-in: [80e1a9655b] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 13816 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

Although it was originally decided not to backport this to 0.5, the
decision was changed due to the fact that the initial assumption that
it might break existing code is only partially true: It will only break
code that already was broken, but it will fix all other code. file: [f4d50f39b5] check-in: [21bd46e17a] user: js, branch: 0.5, size: 10042 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]

ivars are now named like this: thisIsAnIVar. If an accessor exists for
the ivar, the ivar is named like the accessor. This is required for
@property to work. file: [52cc35da36] check-in: [37db8f0fb3] user: js, branch: trunk, size: 4056 [annotate] [blame] [check-ins using] [diff]
