I should point out that there are a number of bug fixes to the ARC logic in libobjc2 trunk, so if you're using ARC it's well worth using trunk instead of 1.6. I hope to release 1.7 relatively soon (I want to improve exception support in the presence of foreign / C++ exceptions and to test the MIPS64 assembly before then).
