This is version 0.8.9 of the GNUstep GUI Backend (`gnustep-back').
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What is the GNUstep GUI Backend?
|
||
|
|
================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library. The
|
||
|
|
implementation of 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 the X Window System. 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 Backend is for platforms using the X-Window System or
|
||
|
|
Window's Systems. It works via a DPS emulation engine to emulate the
|
||
|
|
DPS functions required by the front-end system.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Noteworthy changes in version `0.8.9'
|
||
|
|
=====================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Much improved pasting support between X apps and GNUstep apps.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Backend headers are no longer installed (now private).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
||
|
|
==============================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The gstep-back-0.8.9.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
|
||
|
|
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Where do I send bug reports?
|
||
|
|
============================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Bug reports can be sent to the GNUstep bug list <bug-gnustep@gnu.org>
