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, 24.12.2009 - + Initial release
