Bumping up iOS support to 4.3 from 4.2
Issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1145
Xcode 4.5 is now required because Apple requires it for the App Store
(latest SDK is required - at this time it is iOS 6, which only comes
with Xcode 4.5).
Xcode 4.5 does not build for armv6, thus the minimum supported target
is iOS 4.3 which removes support for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 2nd
Gen. The original iPhone and iPod Touch 1st Gen have been out a long
time ago since they didn't have iOS 4 support in the first place.
Although you can _set_ the deployment target to 4.2 in Xcode 4.5, that
is ultimately useless once you deploy the app to an armv6 device since
it will not have the right architecture and thus will not run.

Shaz, I do agree with your concern. I see no particular need for
adding any objc++ features at the moment. Was just curious ;)

I don't think there is a "stance" against Objective-C++.
Namely my thinking is, perhaps contributions could suffer? Probably
most of the committers know C++, but this might deter contribs from
people that do not know C++ -- to fix something, or contrib something
new to a core plugin that already uses C++. Often these are web
developers that are already having challenges with Objective-C.
Having said that, I have no objection to using Objective-C++.
There's only a few restrictions for Objective-C++:

More seriously though, I have a c++ background and find the new clang
features appealing. Not sure that this is warranted, but what is the
stance on objective c++?

I don't get it shaz, are you concatenating strings inside a function
block there?
[NSDictionary ....5000 words...nil]]]]]; is sooooo much clearer!

Apple's policy of forcing people to update is pretty harsh IMO, but it is
their policy, so we might as well follow it :)

Yeah :)
NSDictionary* dict = @{
@"foo" : @"fooo",
@"bar" : @"barr",
@"baz" : @"bazz"
};
is sooo much better than:
NSDictionary* dict = [NSDictionary
withObjects:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"fooo", @"barr", @"bazz", nil]
forKeys:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"foo", @"bar", @"baz", nil]
];

Also, in requiring Xcode 4.5, we can use these new language goodies:
• Objective-C @synthesize command is generated by default when using properties.
• Objective-C adds literal syntax for numbers, arrays, dictionaries,
and expressions when developing for OS X.
• Apple LLVM compiler supports additional C++11 features, including lambdas.
