(We've all been very busy)
Period ending 3 June 2000
- gstep-base (Foundation)
-
- NSDistantObject - fixed bug creating local method signature for method in
remote object.
- NSString - fix to ensure that a comparison with a zero-length range
always returns NSOrderedSame.
- NSBundle - improve code to determine the location of the executable.
Protect global cache of bundles with locks for thread-safety.
- NSProcessInfo - abort with an informative message rather than crashing
without explanations if the process environment is not set.
- NSConnection - make independent conversation queuing cause messages to be
handled atomically.
- Headers - remove inclusion of config.h in some headers where it is unnecessary.
- gstep-gui (AppKit frontend)
-
- NSImage - handle case where supplied image name has no extension
- NSText/NSTextView - reorganize copy/paste code and added minor fixes.
- NSAttributedString - make sure that setting alignment creates a mutable
paragraph style.
- NSScrollView - fixed positioning of scrollers in obscure cases.
- gstep-xgps (AppKit backend)
-
- XGFont - minor naming change and added check of font information before
unloading fonts.
- gstep-guile (interface to Guile scripting language)
-
- Minor tidying up, and fix to make things work with new 1.3.5 release of
Guile (due out today - 3rd June).
- gstep-java (interface to Java language)
-
- Nicola Pero (sponsored by Brainstorm Computer Solutions) has been looking
at the problem of writing an interface to Java (compatible with Apples Java
bridge). He has submitted a patch to egcs to enable easy building of libobjc
as a shared library so that any Java runtime implementation should be able to
load objc code. He has also produced a proof-of-concept mini-bridge test
program. Expect code to begin appearing in the CVS repository soon.
