This is version 0.17.0 of the GNUstep GUI library (`gnustep-gui').
1.1 What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
====================================
It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely
in the
... [More]
Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OpenStep
specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library has been
enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system.
These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields,
popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
The GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The first part is
the front-end component which is independent of platform and display
system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which
handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to
X/Windows. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the
"look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to
the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display
systems.
The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the
GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end
component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend.
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version `0.17.0'
==========================================
* New Mac OS X 10.5 methods in many classes
* Toolbars have been completely rewritten and improved.
* Several improvements for Garbage Collection

==================================================
The gstep-gui-0.17.0.tar.gz distribution file has been placed at
`ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/core'.
Read the INSTALL file or the GNUstep-HOWTO for installation
instructions.
1.4 Where do I send bug reports?
================================

objects. For example, it includes classes for strings,
object collections, byte streams, typed coders, invocations,
notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time, network ports,
remote object messaging support (distributed objects), and event loops.
It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).
There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at
`http://www.gnustep.org'.
1.2 Noteworthy changes in version `1.19.1'
==========================================
* New Mac OS X methods for writing data in NSData
* New classes NSHashTable and NSMapTable
* Garbage collection now works again and is much improved.
* Method return types and arguments have been changed for Mac OS X
10.5

1.1 What is the GNUstep makefile package?
=========================================
The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to
... [More]
write
makefiles for a GNUstep-based project. It allows the user to write a
project without having to deal with the complex issues associated with
configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows
the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.
1.2 Changes in version `2.2.0'
==============================
* New -with-objc-lib-flag for specifying libobjc.
* Automatically uses -lobjc_gc with configured with garbage

What is it?
--------------
GSPdf is a PDF and PostScript file reader, implemented as ghostscript
front-end. Ghostscript is required at runtime.
Where to get

it?
--------------------
GSPdf is available at the GNUstep Application Project, GAP
(http://gap.nongnu.org).
http://gap.nongnu.org/gspdf/index.html
About this release
-----------------------
This release bases directly on Enrico's original 0.1 release, it has to
be considered a maintenance release.
The code has been adapted to work also with newer versions of
GhostScript which have added security restrictions.
On the project side, source files have been cleaned up, a ProjectCenter
project has been added and the makefile was regenerated to work with the
current version of GNUstep Make.
