They use atomic operations if + available, if not they fall back to pthread spinlocks. If both are + unavailable, mutexes are used as a last fallback + * -[retain] and -[release] are now atomic. If no atomic operations are + available, spinlocks are used (which can fall back to mutexes, see + above) + * -[readLine] now handles \r\n without having the \r included in the + returned line + + OFThread now has -[tryLock] + * Mutation methods have been removed from immutable interfaces, thus + already giving an error at compilation instead of at runtime + * Dependencies between headers have been reduced, leading to faster + compile times + * 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.

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.
