This release is the result of over three years of development, and is now considered stable enough for production use. Future "point" releases will leave the framework essentially unchanged, focusing instead on adding additional utility applications and developer tools to the overall package.
This is mostly a bugfix and packaging release,
although there are some new additions such as
threading support. The "Fat Camel" package was
added. This package includes everything in the
CamelBones-Dev package, plus compiled binaries for
Perl 5.8.4 and the DBI, DBD::mysql, and
Mac::Carbon modules from CPAN.
New features include seamless NSArray and
NSDictionary bridging, OO support for some Cocoa
structs, better UTF-8 support on Panther, support
for Cocoa constants and global strings, cleaner
outlet and method declarations, bugfixes, and
more.
New additions include Panther compatibility, a
tiny (140K) new "runtime" download for end users
who just want the framework without all the
development stuff, several new example projects,
automatic creation of Perl wrappers for all linked
Objective-C classes, the capability to include
version- and architecture- specific module
directories in your applications, and more.
