Mountain Lion changes

Scripting Forums AppleScriptObjC and Xcode
#1

I’ve written an expanded chapter on memory management for an upcoming version of ‘AppleScriptObjC Explored’. The new edition is still a little way off, but because of the ramifications of Mountain Lion, with support for Automatic Reference Counting in AppleScriptObjC and the deprecation of garbage collection, plus changes in Xcode 4.4, I’ve decided now that OS X 10.8 is out to make a preliminary version of the chapter available on the Web. It’s here:

(And yes, the new edition will be available as an upgrade.)

Be sure to read to the end; that’s where the theory meets practicalities.

As always, feedback is welcome…

Thank you sir for all you do!

To anyone who doesn’t already have it, Shane’s book is an excellent resource for AppleScript ObjectiveC and I highly recommend purchasing it.

FYI, I have updated this page. It turns out the change in Mountain Lion is a bit more subtle than I thought.
