We are in the business. The next Debian stable release will ship with
Base 1.31.1, GUI/Back 0.32.0, Gorm 1.5.0, GWorkspace 1.1.0 and
Addresses 0.5.0. (Addresses caught the last train; it was uploaded on
17th of February but was accepted by the FTP masters on 9th of March.)
Many thanks to all the people who worked tirelessly to match the tight
deadline and of course to all those who contributed to the releases.
Special thanks to Richard for fixing very quickly a gnustep-base issue
on s390x [1] which was beyond my humble abilities.
The new graphviz-based autogsdoc feature looks great and it works
very well. One downside is the increased package size:
gnustep-base-doc: +28.5 MB
gnustep-gui-doc: +57.2 MB
I don't think that's so important these days. Another problem (not
exactly a problem but a discrepancy that puzzles me) is that the
output in the Debian packages differs from the generated documentation
at gnustep.org.
On gnustep.org, a typical diagram shows the superclass in blue font
and the subclass in green font (both cells in grey backround):
,---------.
| NSCoder |
`---------'
|
v
,------------.
| NSArchiver |
`------------'
The Debian-generated documentation has both classes with black font
and with grey background. Links work, including cross-manual ones,
it's just a visual difference. Is it because Debian has (old)
graphviz/2.42.4 or it's due to some custom CSS at gnustep.org? Either
way, this is not something important, I just wondered why.
