Listing of notable changes by release. More detail is usually found in the Git
commit messages and/or the pull requests.
OCMock 3.9.1 (2021-10-31)
* Removed unneeded excludes in package file to avoid warnings.
OCMock 3.9 (2021-10-26)
* Added support for Swift Package Manager. (Paul Beusterien)
* Using Swift Package Manager for dependencies.
* Changed binary distribution to XCFramework.
* Added setting in podspec to disable bitcode. (Adil Hussain)
* Various bug-fixes and improvements to developer experience.
OCMock 3.8.1 (2020-12-30)
* Restored compatibility with Xcode 11. Please note: support of older versions
of Xcode is not guaranteed.
OCMock 3.8 (2020-12-23)
* Added support for ARM-based Macs. Unfortunately, this means that the hack to
combine the device targets with the simulator targets no longer works. The
binary distribution will be simulator only now.
* Stubs can now fulfill XCTest expectations. This requires OCMock to link
against XCTest; except on watchOS where it's not supported. (Dave MacLachlan)
* Added two new stub actions to help with debugging. (Dave MacLachlan)
* Classes can block OCMock from creating mocks. (Dave MacLachlan)
* Added function to determine whether a class is a dynamically created mock
class or a subclass of one.
* Deprecated notification observer mocks. This can now be done with XCTest.
* Various bug-fixes and improvements to developer experience.
OCMock 3.7.1 (2020-07-26)
* Fixed a bug that caused double-counting of method invocations on partial
mocks under certain circumstances.
OCMock 3.7 (2020-07-15)
* Fixed mocking init methods when using ARC. This worked before but could
result in memory related crashes. (Dave MacLachlan)
* Added support for non-escaping blocks. (Dave MacLachlan)
* Numerous bug-fixes and improvements to developer experience, e.g. clearer
error messages. (Dave MacLachlan)
OCMock 3.6 (2020-02-16)
* Added support for quantifiers. Please see documentation section 3.3 as well
as #302 for details
* Added preprocessor macros to disable short syntax (in case of clashes). See
section 9.6. for details.
* Set up dependency management with Carthage. This means that in order to
build OCMock from source you must have Carthage installed on your system.
See https://github.com/Carthage/Carthage for details. You do not need to have
Carthage installed to use OCMock, and if you want to use OCHamcrest with
OCMock you must make OCHamcrest available in your project, using whatever
dependency management system you use for your project.
* Added description of mock object to the exception that is thrown when the
mock is used after stopMocking was called (Chaoshuai Lu)
OCMock 3.5 (2019-11-17)
* Added macro to tell the mock to ignore non-object arguments (Yura Samsoniuk)
* Added checks, which throw an expection if no interaction happens with a
mock object inside the stub/expect/reject/verify macros. This helps in cases
where by accident the real object is used in these macros. (Anton Vlasov)
* Changed stopMocking so that arguments will be forcibly released to break
retain cycles. This MAY cause some existing tests to fail. However, it
was always bad practice to use a mock after calling stopMocking. (Ian)
* Added checks, which throw an exception when stopMocking has been called
and afterwards an attempt is made to use functionality that will definitely
not work after stopMocking has been called.
* Changed stub so that return value is not retained if the value is the mock
itself, because that creates a retain cycle. (Anton Vlasov)
* Added support for watchOS (Morgan Chen)
OCMock 3.4.3 (2018-11-04)
* Changed behaviour when a second mock takes over class method mocking from
an older mock for the same class. Now, stopMocking is no longer called on
the first mock, which means that the class generated by it stays around
until stopMocking is called, directly or from dealloc; see issue #357 for
details.
* Changed sequence in which steps are taken to swap out class methods, in
order to improve thread-safety; see issue #328 for details. (Lily Ballard)
OCMock 3.4.2 (2018-06-25)
* Skipping attempt to replace class methods on subclasses of NSManagedObject,
which fixes a conflict in newer iOS runtimes.
* Skipping initialisation of mock when init is called again. This allows to
stub alloc/init; with some limitations. (Alan Terranova)
* Removing dynamically created subclasses when a second mock replaces a mock
for the same class. (David Sansome)
* Retaining class arguments to invocations. (Jack Wu)
OCMock 3.4.1 (2017-11-04)
* Added workaround for crashes when mocking NSManagedObjects. As a side effect
it is no longer possible to verify the invocation of class methods on
NSManagedObject; see issue #338 for details.
* Fixed a memory leak with andThrow:. (Nick Gillett)
* Fixed bug that prevented protocol mocks from being used with
invokeWithBlock:. (Christopher McGrath)
* Changed type comparison for structs to match new runtime. (Sylvain Defresne)

OCMock 3.4 (2016-12-22)
* OCMock now requires iOS 8 as minimum deployment target
* Managed objects can now be mocked (Alan Fineberg, Kyle Van Essen)
* Notifications with a user info dictionary can be observed and verified
with the macro syntax.
* Now considering structs with unknown names to be the same type as a named
struct, as long as either the actual definition matches or one of them is
opaque.
* Fixed bug causing verifyWithDelay to be held up by rejects (Nikolay Kasyanov)
* Fixed bug where a mock would not claim conformance to protocols declared in
a superclass (Werner Altewischer)
OCMock 3.3.1 (2016-07-01)
* Now throwing an exception when an attempt is made to stub the init method.
* Fixed crash when trying to mock NSArray.
OCMock 3.3 (2016-04-12)
* Made the use of mock objects thread safe. You still have to setup the mocks
and verify them from a main thread (Ian Anderson)
* Added modern syntax for reject (Piotr Tobolski)
OCMock 3.2.2 (2016-01-20)
* Fixed recently introduced bug that caused crashes when using NULL pointers
with the pass-by-ref argument setter (Ian Anderson)
OCMock 3.2.1 (2016-01-13)
* Added support for tvOS (Nikita Lutsenko)
* Disposing dynamically generated subclasses after use (David Stites)

be changed in the script.
OCMock 3.2 (2015-10-03)
* Can mock dynamic properties (imhuntingwabbits)
* Can invoke blocks passed as arguments to stubs (Stephen Fortune)
* Stubbed exceptions are no longer re-raised in verify

OCMock 3.1.3 (2015-08-12)
* Now throwing exception when trying to create mocks for nil (Nick Gravelyn)

* Added target for dynamic iOS framework, which makes OCMock compatible with
Carthage (Piet Brauer)

OCMock 3.1.2 (2015-01-08)
* Fixed bugs around reject and expectation orders (Mason Glidden, Ben Asher)
* Small adjustments to build file and dependencies
OCMock 3.1.1 (2014-08-23)
* Fixed a recently introduced bug that resulted in class arguments and return
values not to be considered objects (Patrick Hartling, Max Shcheglov)
OCMock 3.1 (2014-08-22)
* Converting number types to make andReturn more intuitive (Carl Lindberg)
* Macros now silence warnings about unused return values (Gordon Fontenot)
* Added isKindOfClass constraint (Ash Furrow)
* Performance and stability improvements. As a result it is no longer possible
use verify-after-running to verify certain methods:
- All methods implemented by NSObject and categories on it
- Private methods in core Apple classes, ie. the class name has an NS or UI
prefix and the method has an underscore prefix and/or suffix.
OCMock 3.0.2 (2014-07-07)
* Fixed podspec
OCMock 3.0.1 (2014-07-06)

* Added support for matching of char* arguments
OCMock 3.0 (2014-06-12)

OCMock 3.0.M3 (2014-05-31)
* Changed license to Apache 2 license
* Added support for verify-after-run for class methods and for methods sent
directly to the real object covered by a partial mock.
* Using a temporary meta class subclass for mocking class methods, enabling
full clean-up. As a consequence class methods mocked on a given class are no
longer mocked in all subclasses.
* Throwing descriptive exception when attempting to create partial mock on
toll-free bridged classes and tagged pointers (Mark Larsen)
OCMock 3.0.M2 (2014-05-07)
* Added support from verify-after-run. Only works for methods that are sent
to a mock object. Does not work for classes and methods sent directly to
the real object covered by a partial mock.

not as NSInternalInconsistencyException
