Looks good to me... I don't recall if Gerald prefers to do the checkin or he prefers that the news creators do the checkin, if the later, Ok.

This is quite long compared to the length of your usual entries. It
is fine, just would be good to shorten it a bit.
Would it work to say
...will have support for <a href="gcc-4.6/changes.html#objective-c">many
new Objective-C features</a> and a new GNU Objective-C runtime API.
?
In the second sentence how about omitting "work" and "helpful", especially
the latter appears redundant. ;-) And I think "support" is sufficient,
we don't need "support and review" here.

I'll be happy to do the checkin, but it's perfectly fine for Nicola to go ahead. News items on the main page are about the one item where I prefer to approve them over maintainers just going ahead (which is quite fine for the release notes and other parts) to make them consistent and fair. Happy to see you guys documenting the improvements on the Objective-C front so nicely! Gerald
