(This is not a release announcement)
A signed build of gnustep-gui / gnustep-back 0.29.0 has been uploaded
at http://badc0de.net/gs/2021.
Actual final releases will, as always, be distributed via GNUstep FTP.
Please give this test build a go.

Psst! If you are using themes such as Rik, you might need to rebuild
them, even if there were no code changes. This is usually the case, I
suspect, as well; but today I was bit by it for the first time. It was
curious as I only saw problems on applications I rebuilt -- which in
retrospect makes sense, given the SO bump.

Now that all four libs are prepared, I will give it a few days to
receive a stop signal, or an actively-green-light from maintainers.
Then I will send out announcement emails, create GitHub releases, etc.
Of course, if you spot a small thing that we _can_ fix post release
(i.e. not a full showstopper), I will be happy to cut a smaller
point-release.

I am resuming work on releases today and hope to prepare at least

IIRC the standard/historic behavior is that an object can retain itself in the
-dealloc method, to extend its own lifetime, and I guess that the singletons do
that (I haven't checked).
I think that behavior changed for ARC, so it could be that the runtime is
performing an ARC style deallocation when it should be calling
NSDeallocateObject() (or something odd is going on in the NSDeallocateObject()
function).
I’ve pushed a change in the following PR that fixes the test failure:
