The mailing-lists
Nicola Pero proposed a new setup for the Makefile achitecture, which
was an idea of Helge Hess. Looks very promising
Once in a while the discussion pops up, about GNUstep and it's ties to
Window Maker and this week it happened again. And I think Adam Fedor
gave the ultimate answer, so to quote him:
"No matter what WM we work with (even if it's written in ObjC) we'll
most likely communicate using X protocols. The ones Window Maker has
are pretty good, and some other, even more standard ones are being
developed. It's more than feasible that GNUstep can do everything it
wants using the protocols that are already in place."
Code changes
Nicola Pero: bundle.make (internal-bundle-install): Use h option with
tar to dereference symbolic links to external files if any; use
--exclude Contents/Resources with tar; create the Contents/Resources
--> Resources link manually after installing the bundle with tar.
He is also responsible for the redisplay handling after the color is
changed on the background or text.
Richard Frith-Macdonald did a lot of work this week on the base
library. First of all the on the mailinglist mentioned shift of SSL
support to a bundle, but also a lot of optimizations and bugfixes.
Applications
Laurent Julliard added Date and Number Formatters to Gorm.
Documentation
Dennis Leeuw added the HTML version of the Defaults Summary to the
Defaults document
