This is version 0.8.0 of Gorm.
|
|
|
|
What is Gorm?
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Gorm is an acronym for Graphic Object Relationship modeler (or
|
|
perhaps GNUstep Object Relationship Modeler).
|
|
|
|
Gorm is a clone of the NeXTstep `Interface Builder' application for
|
|
GNUstep.
|
|
|
|
Noteworthy changes in version `0.8.0'
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
* New gorm file version.
|
|
|
|
* Full custom palette support
|
|
|
|
* Palette preferences panel to allow the user to configure palettes
|
|
to load
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Improved layout of some of the inspectors.
|
|
|
|
* 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?
|
|
========================================
|
|
|
|
You may wish to use the GNUstep discussion mailing list for general
|
|
questions and discussion. Look at the GNUstep Web Pages for more
|
|
information regarding GNUstep resources <http://www.gnustep.org/>
|
|
|
|
Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
You can download sources and rpms (for some machines) from
|
|
<ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/dev-apps>.
|
|
|
|
Where do I send bug reports?
|
|
============================
|
|
|
|
Bug reports can be sent to <bug-gnustep@gnu.org>.
