You can now find references there to the different backend projects for gnustep-back. That are not part of the gnustep-back in CVS. Mailing lists Adam Fedor announced a start of the libffi support in GNUstep. This means that ffcall and libffi will soon be supported. So you can choose which one you want to use. Björn Gohla mentioned the http://freshmeat.net/projects/libw11/ which might speed up the porting of AppKit to Windows. Pete French immediatly took interest, so who knows... We might see GNUstep on Windows with the graphical framework soon. Code changes Nicola Pero added better Windows support to gnustep-make. Richard Frith-Macdonald and Nicola Pero added some Windows improvements to gnustep-base while Adam Fedor implemented the minimal working libffi support. Richard Frith-Macdonald, Ludovic Marcotte, Nicola Pero, Adam Fedor and Pierre-Yves Rivaille all worked on gnustep-gui. So get another CVS snapshot and checkout the changes ;) Adam fedor added graphics driver protocol information to XGServerWindow in gnustep-back. While he togather with Gregory John Casamento worked on a better UTF8 encoding handling. Manuel Guesdon worked on GNUstep-Web and added a framework for image. Official GNUstep releases This is a new section in the editorial.
