Changelog for gnustep-base-1.27.0-lp150.38.1.x86_64.rpm :

* Sat Feb 27 2021 Antoine Belvire - Add gnustep-base-1.27.0-fix-compilation-icu68.patch: Fix build against ICU 68.
* Tue Apr 14 2020 Luigi Baldoni - Update to version 1.27.0
* Expose GNU TLS wrappers and add methods to get certificate expiry.
* Improve thread safety when using zombies, particularly on statup/shutdown.
* Improvements for Ukrainian localization.
* Decreased ICU requirements to 49 to support Windows 2000.
* Simplifications and fixes in GSPrivateSymbolPath().
* GSMime improvements (word encoding specifier, utf-8 improvements encoding quoted words with multibyte characters)
* NSJSONSerialization fixes for codepoints over 0x7f.
* NSCharacterSet support for URL
*AllowedCharacterSet and declarations for new character sets.
* NSString implementations for new methods stringByRemovingPercentEncoding/ stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacterSet:.
* Fixed a crash in gdomap when an invalid hostname is given for the -M option.
* In NSString.m, removed functions urldecode() and ishex() which were mistakenly neither namespaced nor declared static and thus could have conflicted with non-library code.
* Fixed libdispatch configuration switch so - enable-libdispatch works correctly; correctly checking for HAVE_LIBDISPATCH_RUNLOOP.
* Updated libdispatch runloop integration so it is compatible with Swift\'s corelibs libdispatch release (from github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-libdispatch). The libdispatch must be compiled with INSTALL_PRIVATE_HEADERS=YES.

* In NSArray\'s -removeObjectsInArray:, prevent some crashes.
* In GSTLS, avoid setting session priority twice.
* In NSFileHandle, fix so that setting certificate information does not discard any other options already set.
* In GSXML\'s -fatalErrorFunction, use the correct function to get the line number.
* In NSOperation\'s _execute, ensure lock gets released on an error by surrounding with NS_DURING.
* Generics support in NSHashTable.
* Implementation of NSProgress.
* Skeleton implementation of NSURLComponents.

* Support for data directory on Android introduces GSInitializeProcessAndroid and makes use of the path returned by Context.getFilesDir() as the basis for storing data (e.g. NSUserDefaults) and when querying for directory paths (NSLibraryDirectory, NSApplicationSupportDirectory, etc.).

* Added NSOrtogrpahy and NSLinguisticTagger.
* Added NSExtensionItem, NSExtensionContext, NSExtensionRequestHandling, and NSItemProvider and NSItemProviderReadingWriting.
* Updated timezone info for NSTimeZones.
* On Android, support for NSTemporaryDirectory to use Context.getCacheDir(), and cleaning it up in GSInitializeProcessAndroid() given there is no support for temp directory before Android API 26. Also used with NSCachesDirectory + NSUserDomainMask.

* Update GSPrivateSymbolPath() so that, on the path where LINKER_GETSYMBOL is not available, we attempt to lookup classes using the prefix ._OBJC_CLASS_ for the 2.0 ABI (earlier ABIs use a prefix of __objc_class_name_ for the class definition.
* Fix parsing of NSURLResponse content type header.
* Fix for class lookup when using the 2.0 ABI.
* Fixed NSURLComponents setURL: throwing exceptions when URL didn\'t have all expected parts caused by rangeOfString: throwing for nil values.
