I have submitted PR19, which cleans up the layering between libobjc2 and -base for reference counting. This is now passing all of the tests in Travis and, for me, works with both libobjc2 trunk and the weakref branch (which improves a bunch of ARC stuff and which I’d like to push to master soon). While doing this, I realised that the last release of libobjc2 was over two years ago and there have been a *lot* of improvements since then[1]. It would be good to push a new libobjc2 release out over Christmas, but getting all of the ARC improvements in there requires PR19 being merged to -base (and a -base release).
