There weren’t that many changes to GNustep in the last year, but cutting a new release would be nice. I have been working on a few changes to the opal backend to get PikoPixel working in that setup. Having a release deadline in about two weeks could motivate me to finish these changes :-)

Yes, I have been thinking about that pull request. The problem is that this will break icu on systems where the pkg config for icu isn’t present. I think this has been around for at least six years. This should be long enough even for GNUstep standards. :-(
The icu-config script used to be the recommended method for finding the libraries. I just liked at the documentation and pkg-config is now recommended, so making this change would just guarantee future compatibility. Per the latest ICU documentation, icu-config is deprecated.

Great, but please give me a bit more time.

PS: Did you see the two pull requests for back today? The first one, that wasn’t a real pull request rather a question about the code, has triggered me to rethink the removal of RContext. Perhaps somebody else could have a look too?
