ObjectiveLib / News: Recent posts

ObjectiveLib version 1.0.0 has just been released. The library now can be configured to use only the Objective-C runtime, and thus no longer relies on the existence of GNUstep or Cocoa.

ObjectiveLib is a library of containers, generic algorithms and binary streams for Objective-C meant to provide the same benefits to Objective-C developers that the Standard Template Library provides for C++ developers. Version 0.10 includes the following new features:

* A full set of binary streams which includes: file, memory buffer and socket streams, as well as streams that can buffer and compress data. Three different compression streams are provided.
* A set of classes making creation and usage of BSD sockets easy and painless.

ObjectiveLib is a library of containers and generic algorithms for Objective-C meant to provide the same benefits to Objective-C developers that the Standard Template Library provides for C++ developers. Version 0.9 includes the following new features:

* Support for the GNUstep platform, which is tested on many different systems. See the file Build.html in the source release for details.
* All containers and function objects now support the NSCoding protocol.
* All containers and function objects now have class methods that are convenience allocators. These methods allocate, initialize and autorelease instances of the class before returning.... read more

ObjectiveLib is a library of containers and generic algorithms for Objective-C meant to provide the same benefits to Objective-C developers that the Standard Template Library provides for C++ developers. This release, version 0.8, is the first public release, and is kept below version 1.0 so that the API may be modified based on user feedback. All of the functionality that one finds in the STL from C++ is also in ObjectiveLib, including: vectors, lists, maps, sets, queues, a huge array of generic algorithms, memory allocators, function objects, and iterators. Additionally, the API has been kept as close to the STL API as possible so that those familiar with STL will have no trouble picking up with ObjectiveLib right away. If you find Apple's Cocoa framework woefully lacking in containers and algorithms, then ObjectiveLib is just the addition that you need for your toolkit.... read more
