Description Christophe Osuna 2007-03-03 22:56:05 UTC
GNUstep Base authors have released version 1.13.1 (improves stability and security). The same ebuild as version 1.13.0-r1 can be used. It does not seem necessary to rebuild applications when migrating from 1.13.0-r1.

Copy-paste of release notes:

"This is a bugfix release improving the stability and security of applications using the base library. Programs dynamically linked with the existing stable release will automatically benefit from these changes once this version is installed. 

* NSBundleFix: for crash when initialising the bundle system in an applicatiuon linked with many frameworks. 
* NSCalendarDate: Fix for buffer overrun problem mwhen initialising date from string. Also fixed to return nil when initialising from some illegal strings. 
* NSConnection: Some locking fixes to avoid rare deadlocks in heavily multithreaded applications. 
* NSDecimalNumber: Fix to handle current locale properly when initialising. 
* NSIndexSet: Fix bug adding indexes in a range which lies within a range already in the set. 
* NSPropertyList: Fix problem writing negative numbers into old-style property list. 
* NSString: Fix for problem with keyed archiving of simple strings. 
* NSURL: Fix a potential repeated load of the same resource. Also fix to return nil when initialised with a string which does not contain a URL scheme. 
* NSURLHandle: Improve handling of persistent connections when the remote host drops the connection unexpectedly. 
* GSXML: Fix bug causing removal of newline characters from escaped strings. Fix error setting start end end element for SAX."

Reproducible: Always

gnustep-base-1.14.0 is in portage now, so we can consider the version bump done :)
