I don't understand why. Could you elaborate on this ?
Using autoreleased objects when not strictly necessary makes it more
difficult to debug memory leaks/zombies, and augments memory footprint.

GDL2 was written to follow WO4.5.
I think it is very usable for many projects who don't need explicitely
missing features (inheritence,...).
Hm, well, raw rows were not supported before I patched code for
eoutil... And I found some nasty bugs while developing it. Anyway, you
know better than I what's inside, that's why I asked.
Believe me, if you can convince old users of WO4.5 (who are now either
turning to WO5, à contre-coeur, or who keep a machine still running
OpenStep or Rhapsody or 10.1 just to let WO45 running) that GDL2 is a
viable alternative, then you can get big help from them. Really.
Some things/case are not implemented (NSEmitToDo); some of them aren't
because I
don't see cases wich match them. If one get an exception on these
cases, it's usually
easier to see how to implement them.
Agreed.
I use it for a project which have around 80 entities and it works
pretty well.
Interesting to know.

I have'nt head this but it would be great !
