From: dennis@made-it.com To: discuss-gnustep@gnu.org Subject: GNUstep Weekly Editorial 05-04-2002 Date: Fri, 5 Apr 2002 02:24:25 +0200 Editorial 05 April 2002 Mailing lists The most remarkable e-mail this week IMHO, was that of BALATON Zoltan, who created a gslib (very preliminary) implementation for gnustep-back. For more info see: http://goliat.eik.bme.hu/~balaton/gnustep/gnustep-back-gslib.patch.gz and his e-mail in the mail archives. And ofcourse there where a lot of e-mails about the new backend and how to work with it. But all for the better, as the future will tell. Adam announced the backward compatibility options for gnustep-back: I added a configure option (--with-name) so you can change the name of the back end. For instance, to get the old backend behavior, you could do: configure --enable-xlib --with-name=xgps make install make distclean configure --enable-xdps --with-name=xdps make install Before running an application, choose one backend using the defaults program: defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSBackend libgnustep-xdps Code changes For gnustep-make Fred Kiefer made bundles work under Windows and Nicola Pero did some clean ups. There are no updates for gnustep-base this week, so we skip directly to gnustep-gui: Adam Fedor made NSObject work around a bug in MacOSX 10.1.x, and fixed a IBClasses bug for compiling on Darwin. Pierre-Yves Rivaille, Fred Kiefer, Gregory Casamento, and Nicola Pero all had their hand in the source this week to fix bugs,and tidied the code. Adam also touched gnustep-back where he implemented GSContext.m (-GSSendBezierPath:) and where he fixed a number of bugs together with Fred Kiefer. Official GNUstep releases This is a new section in the editorial. From now on I will put in this sectrion the changes and updates of the official GNUstep applications. * GWorkspace 0.3.3 Happy Stepping, Dennis Leeuw
