This method should get called from the user interface to determine whether an item is to be enabled or disabled. This currently doesn't happen in GNUstep (as far as I know). What should happen inside this method is that the object checks whether the action of the item is currently applicable

I believe we should shoot for this, yes. So you think we should target the end of the month to make the release? Gregory Casamento -- Principal Consultant - OLC, Inc # GNUstep Chief Maintainer - Original Message From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: gnustep-dev@gnu.org

Hi, Is it ok if I apply this little patch ? It simply enclose the methods summary and the abstract in divs, so you can style them. Any reason why the css include line 1119 is disabled ? thanks, -- Nicolas Roard I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by. -- Douglas

Hi, There is one thing I should do before a new back release, that is test with cairo 1.6.4 to see how to avoid the black bars that have been reported. I hope to do this on the weekend, after that a release should be possible. Just one more question: Are we all confident that the big changes

I'm not sure, but I defer to Fred's judgement entirely on this. But my opinion is that If we do deprecate it, it should not be removed for a while. The reason is that the xlib/x11 backend is a good fallback position to have when all else fails. Additionally, on older machines, the xlib

I would prefer not to deprecate xlib. There still are environments where it is better working then the cairo backend. For the moment I would still recomment art as the standard backend while still planing to have cairo as the main backend for the future. The cairo library is still changing too

Hi, Can we officially deprecate the x11 back end in this release and recommend Cairo? The OpenBSD package, for example, uses the x11 back end and I don't think this gives people the best impression of GNUstep. I've been using Cairo since AlpenStep last year and after Fred fixed a
