Hello folks, I seems that the runtime abstraction layer is being deprecated. I would have expected that the introduction of yet another runtime would actually strengthen the need for the abstraction layer. Yet I appreciate that supporting three runtimes is quite a task.
Also the semantics of many underlying concepts of EOF and WebObjects (in particular KVC) have changed so much that it seems hardly feasible to continue to hack the runtime structures to make GDL2/GSWeb work with current gnustep-core / Cocoa. I'm currently considering - forking GDL2 to GDL3 which will not be WO45 compatible yet follow it's concepts as much as feasible. - forking/branching -base for GDL2 but stop supporting Cocoa here - forking/branching -gsweb to be more WO45 compatible and have trunk gsweb adapt to GDL3 and current Foundation/Cocoa ie: WO45 compatiblity -base-wo45 -gdl2 -gsweb-wo45 current: -base -gdl3 -gsweb I need the WO45 compatibility and will spend most of my efforts here. the current projects will lose many of the current hacks and should be what new projects would use. @Manuel/@David: Are you still actively using GSWeb and how much do you rely on WO45 compatibility... i.e. if I fork/branch as I described would you be interested in the WO45 compatibility branch or the branch that tracks the current developments.
