G R A P H O S   0.2
-------------------


I am pleased to announce the second public release of Graphos.


What's new?
-----------

The biggest new is the totally redone properties inspector. It uses now standard color wells and color pickers.

The internal color representation of the objects uses now NSColor instead of 4-float CMYK representation. This allows for more consistent color handling when manipulating objects including the inspector and reduces conversions.

The Text object now allows both back and foreground color setting.

Minor tweaks, bug fixes.


What is it?
-----------

Graphos is a vector drawing application centered around bezier paths.

Graphos roots are directly set in GDraw, written by Enrico Sersale and released in 2000. Version 0.1 of Graphos is a direct descendant of GDraw: the interface is almost unchanged, but the application has been refactored, reorganized, debugged, rewritten and updated. The file format was improved a little, Graphos is able to read GDraw files but not the other way around.

Graphos 0.1 focused mainly on getting things working again, cleaning and reorganizing the code structure.


Where to get it:
----------------

Graphos is a user application of GAP, the GNUstep Application Project. Its page is here:

http://gap.nongnu.org/graphos/index.html

What's next:
------------

Printing needs to be improved, some tools are still missing. Possibly the Inspector should become non-modal.


Have a nice Christmas' Eve and Merry Christmas too!
