Week ending 8 October 2000 gstep-base (Foundation) NSGAttributedString - store all attributes as immutable dictionaries. NString - major rewrite for improved multinational-charactersets - replacing concrete classes. Change available encodings if iconv library is available. Tidy encoding handling. Encode strings in archives as the abstract class. NB. this change is not compatible with old archiving code - running programs that use Distributed Objects will need to be restarted. Archives should be read and re-written to update them to the new format (backward compatibility classes have been added temporarily). NSDistantObject - fix for respondsToSelector:. NSProcessInfo - fix for FreeBSD-elf. gstep-gui (AppKit frontend) GSTextStorage - store attributes as immutable dictionaries. NSWindow - fixes for frame sizing with deferred windows. NSStringDrawing - added glyph conversion and removed unused code. NSText and related classes - modest reorganisation. gstep-xgps (AppKit backend) font cacher improvements. gpbs modified to ignore empty arguments. Dragging fix for deferred windows. GSWeb (WebObjects compatible library) Many updates in readiness for (hoped for) release of GDL2 Various bugfixes and tidying up. JIGS (Java interface for GNUstep) 0.7 release - support for selectors added - JIGS is pretty fully-featured now. You can create create a selector in your Java code, pass it to an ObjC object, and have ObjC objects pass selectors back to your Java code. This should make use of NSControl and its subclasses pretty easy from Java. gstep-make (Makefiles package) Improve handling of detection of iconv library.
