1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '0.26.1'
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version '0.26.2'
==========================================

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.
This version is a small, but important bugfix release.

* printing: Fix allocation of the CUPS printing classes.
* installation: Fix the configure script.
