 * Incorrect framework version in Xcode project fixed
 * Documentation fixes and improvements
 * Blocks now only use 16 bits for the reference count in order to avoid
   problems with newer Clang versions
 * More use of OF_SENTINEL

ObjFW 0.6 -> ObjFW 0.7, 2012-10-27
 Again, the differences are more than in any release before, thus listing them
 all would be too much. The major differences are:
 + ObjFW now comes with its own runtime, which greatly increases performance
   compared to the GNU runtime and is even faster than the Apple runtime
   (using Clang >= 3.2 is recommended, but not necessary)
 * Support for the GNU runtime has been dropped
 + New, much faster autorelease pool implementation (now inside the runtime)

 * Strings are allocated faster now
 + Support for JSON5
 * All private methods use the prefix OF_ now instead of _, making it possible
   to use the _ prefix in applications
 * Most ObjC compiler feature checks are not part of configure anymore, making
   it possible to use the same installation with different compilers

ObjFW 0.5.4 -> ObjFW 0.6, 2012-02-27
 The differences between 0.5.4 and 0.6 are too big to list them all. However,
 the major new features are:

   clusters
 + Serialization and deserialization of objects into/from XML and JSON
 + New class OFIntrospection for introspecting classes
 + New class OFProcess for working with and controlling child processes
 * Lots of OFXMLParser and OFXMLElement improvements
 + OFHTTPRequests can have a delegate now for status updates and processing
   data as soon as it arrives
 + There are several backends for OFStreamObserver now, including kqueue, poll
   and select
 + SOCKS5 support for OFTCPSockets (client only)
 * Several API changes

 * Fix a typo in OFMutableDictionary that prevented termination in case
   the last bucket is already used when the dictionary is resized
 * The mutations pointer is now correctly initialized in enumerators for
   immutable collections

   updated to use the new one now
 * PLATFORMS has been updated to be more specific

ObjFW 0.2.1 -> 0.3, 2010-05-09
 + Many new methods were added to different classes
 + A huge amount of methods was added to OFStream, allowing easy binary
   stream handling and even mixing string-based and binary operations
 + An optional write buffer was added to OFStream
 + OFSeekableStream was added for streams that allow seeking, for example
   OFFiles
 * OFNumber was completely reworked and got many new features now

 * The instance variable naming convention was changed so that properties work
 + Properties were added to the interfaces and are used if they are supported
   by the compiler
 + The library version is now included in the resulting dylib and libobjc is

 * Fix for OFNumbers not doing calculations
 * Improved -[hash] for OFNumbers with floats and doubles
 + Tests for OFNumber
 * Small optimization for OFArray's -[componentsJoinedByString:]
 * Documentation improvements
 * Updated copyright

ObjFW 0.1.2 -> 0.2, 2010-02-01
 + Support for ObjC 2 Fast Enumerations on every platform which has
   compiler support for fast enumerations
 + Support for ObjC 2 properties on every platform with compiler support
 + Fast Enumeration through arrays and dictionaries
 * OFIterator has been removed
 + OFEnumerator was added to replace OFIterator, which is more general
   and works with arrays and dictionaries

 * The interfaces of OFSocket and OFStream were cleaned up and some
   methods were moved to OFTCPSocket, as they make sense only there
 * File methods unavailable on Windows don't throw an exception at
   runtime anymore, but instead are not even in the interface on
   Windows. This way, it is a compile time error instead of a runtime
   error

ObjFW 0.1.1 -> 0.1.2, 2010-01-15
 * Fix a bug in OFMutableArray's -[removeObject:] and
   -[removeObjectIdenticalTo:] that could lead to not removing all
   occurrences of the object from the array and to out of bounds reads
 * Change the URL in the framework plist to the homepage

ObjFW 0.1 -> 0.1.1, 2010-01-04
 * Fix a missing out of range check for -[removeNItems:atIndex:] that
   allowed the programmer to specify too big ranges so it would crash
   instead of throwing an exception
 * Fix missing calls to -[retain] and -[autorelease] when getting
   objects from an OFArray or OFDictionary
 * Safer and more fault-tolerant way to remove objects from an
   OFMutableArray
 * Calling +[dealloc] throws an exception now. If someone really calls
   [SomeClass dealloc], this should be punished and not ignored, as
   this is a serious programmer error
 * -[readLineWithEncoding:] is more fault-tolerant now and does not
   lose data when it stumbles upon invalid encoding. Instead, it allows
   recalling with the correct encoding now

ObjFW 0.1, 2009-12-24
 + Initial release
