From: dennis@made-it.com To: discuss-gnustep@gnu.org Subject: GNUstep Weekly Editorial 08-03-2002 Date: Fri, 8 Mar 2002 04:11:12 +0100 Welcome Welcome to the GNUstep Community website. As with every community there are some shared interests and some common goals. The interest part is [1]GNUstep, the best Object Oriented development environment around, and the goal is world domination. For world domination we need software and documentation and that is what this site is about. Editorial 8 March 2002 Your editor watched a dupication of work this week. It's a little app called CDPlayer then seems to be unmaintained for a while. And now we suddenly have two versions: ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/usr-apps/cdplayer-020110.tar.gz and http://www.collaboration-world.com/gnustep/CDPlayer-20020306.tar.gz, maybe those two projects should be working together. For those of you wanting to know where the original resides: http://www.geocities.co.jp/SiliconValley/5605/gnustep/cdplayer.html Mailing lists A little discussion wen on about http://chimera.mozdev.org/, which however neeeds Objective-C++, when are we gonna see that in GCC? Richard mentioned: "After much messing around, I think there is now something like stable code in place for handling the locations in which user defaults and user files are to be found." So we can start testing that. With first the layout of the gnustep-make roadmap Nicola later came with a little cheerful message: "Just timed CVS HEAD gnustep-make building out internal tree and the makefile machinery runs fast - 'make all' inside an already compiled tree takes approximately half of the time it takes with 1.2.1. The benefits of this are particularly evident upon make install." Code changes As mentioned above Richard and Nicola have been working hard on the gnustep-make package to make it more user friendly, better maintainable and faster. Nicola also took care of the gsweb make files. Richard hacked his way through several bugs in gnustep-base fixing the SSL bundle, and applying fixes send in by Alexander Malmberg. Gregory John Casamento & Pierre-Yves Rivaille cleaned up the code in gnustep-gui for NSTableView and NSOutlineView. While Nicola and Richard applied pathes by Stefan Urbanek and Alexander Malmberg. Richard made the gnustep-xgps Middle mouse button code compliend with that from MacOS X and wondered why the Mac OS guys and girls didn't use the GNUstep naming scheme, just for compatibility sake. Manuel Guesdon did a lot of changes to the gsweb code. On GORM Pierre-Yves Rivaille added GormNSBrowser and GormNSWindow and NSTableView & NSTextView objects contained in NSScrollView are now added. Connections to and from those objects are now available. Happy Stepping, Dennis Leeuw References 1. http://www.gnustep.org/
