gstep-base (Foundation)


NSString - some obsolete methods removed and some missing range checks
added.  New encodings added to header file.
NSRunLoop - fixed to make actions registered to be performed at the end
of the loop be done only once rather than once per loop iteration.
NSGeometry - made NSRectFromString(), NSPointFromString() and
NSSizeFromString() handle MacOS_X format as well as OpenStep format.  Added
GSMacOSXCompatible user default to switch on MacOS-X compatibility at runtime.
Added GSMacOSXCompatibleGeometry to switch on/off (overriding
GSMacOSXCompatible) generation of MacOS-X format output from
NSStringFromRect(), NSStringFromSize(), and NSStringFromPoint().
NSNumberFormatter - skeleton for new class added.


gstep-gui (AppKit frontend)


NSWindow - rewritten -constrainFrameRect:toScreen: and used it. Changed
ivars to use an underscore prefix.
NSMenuItem - make setSubmenu work.
NSTableView - major improvements ... mostly implemented.
NSSplitView - rewrote event handling for improved performance.
NSBrowser - various tidyups and fixes (including memory leak)  with
performance improvements.
NSScroller, NSSlider - variopus optimisations.
NSControl - implemented -objectValue and -takeObjectValueFrom:
NSTextContainer - improve notification handling.
NSApplication - implement NSApplicationWillTerminateNotification
NSTypesetter and related stuff added.
NSFont - improved caching and simplified.
NSColorPanel - fixed coordinates for dragging.


gstep-xdps (AppKit backend)


Tidied font info code.
Get name of display on initialisation.


gstep-xgps (AppKit backend)
Modifications to low-level X stuff are shared with xdps

Fixed memory leak.
Fixed keyboard handling to use hardware keycodes.
Font handling improvements - unused code removed.
Bugfix in coordinate conversion for mouse drag.


JIGS (Java Interface for GNUStep)
Alpha release 0.5

partial wrapper for gstep-base included
very partial wrapper for gstep-gui included
WrapCreator tool improved and speeded up.


gstep-db (EOF compatible library)


Lots of comments added for producing gsdoc documentation.
Tool added to generate gsdoc documentation from comments in source.
