Noteworthy changes in version `0.7.7'
Noteworthy changes in version `0.8.0'
=====================================
* Important bugfixes in editor classes.
PLEASE NOTE: It is important for this release that you upgrade to
Gorm 0.8.0 when using Gorm with the new GNUstep libraries (base-1.10.0
and gui-0.9.4). This version of Gorm contains some features which are
reliant on changes made in those versions of the libraries. It is
stated in Gorm's documentation (the Gorm.texi file) that this is
required, but I felt it important enough to also mention it here so
that it is known beyond a reasonable doubt.
* Rearranged some of the editor classes to be in the palettes which
contain the classes they are responsible for editing
(GormButtonEditor & GormTabViewEditor).
* New gorm file version.
* Image and Sound editors will now display system default images or
sounds if they are available.
* Full custom palette support
* Document window now uses an NSToolbar (experimental).
* Palette preferences panel to allow the user to configure palettes
to load
* Improved the layout of some of the inspectors.
* Experimental: Standalone views. This feature is to allow the use
of a view without the need of a containing window. This allows
developers to treat these views as they would any other top level
object in the .gorm file. This is experimental functionality.
* Corrected some minor issues in the inspectors
* Improved NSTableColumn inspector. The new inspector allows the
user to change the data cell used for a given column. This
allows the user to select from a list of cell subclasses and set
the appropriate custom or non-custom one they want to appear in
that column of the table.
* Added code to allow NSTableView and NSOutlineView to show some
data during testing
* Improved layout of some of the inspectors.
* Gorm will now show an alert panel when a model fails to load or
test properly.
* Removed old class parser. The parser was somewhat buggy and was
actually causing some issues. A new parser will be available in
the next version of Gorm. For now users will need to use the
class inspector or the outline view to enter classes into Gorm.
* Experimental: "File" section. This is essentially a per-file
preference which allows the user to control which version of
GNUstep a given file will be compatible with. It also lists the
potential compatibility issues with the selected version.
* Improved controls palette. New items for some of the standard
font replace the old "Title" widget which was a System-14 font.
The new widgets use a selection of the standard System font to
allow the user to easily build a gui using these and reducing the
amount of time the user needs to spend fiddling with the font
panel.
How can I get support for this software?

This is a DO list based on feature requests that are being made by
users of Gorm. Currently a number of requests are on the
table which seem intersting:

* Create an xml output format for Gorm files so that they can be used
on both MOSX and on GNUstep. This will be done w/ an extension
library. (me)
library. (Working on this)
* Add a way for the user to edit the spacing used by the guidelines. Also
make it so that we can save the settings and retrieve them from
external files so that users can distribute thier own preferred
spacing for different frameworks.
* Add an autosave feature to Gorm which will save the document at
regular intervals.
* Use custom view as container. MOSX allows the user to create views
without windows so that the developer doesn't need to create a "dummy"
window to hold them. (fabien)
