1.9 Noteworthy changes in version `0.10.1'
|
|
==========================================
|
|
|
|
The art graphics module is the default now. As was previously the case,

|
if the proper libraries are not found, the configuration will
|
|
automatically switch to xlib on winlib (whichever is appropriate).
|
|
|
|
There was a great deal of work by Tom MacSween on the windows module
|
|
to get windows and taskbars working together, closing, opening, hiding,
|
|
and just general good window management.
|
|
|
|
The Cairo module has been significantly updated and now works with
|
|
Cariro version 1.0, although you need to make some minor changes to the
|
|
Cairo library before it will work with GNUstep. Due to this, this module
|
|
is still considered beta. Ask on the mailing lists for help with this.
|
|
|

|
frontend (GUI) library and the backend.

seem to work on some machines.

|
|
|
|
* GNUstep modifier keys are mapped to KeySyms instead of KeyCodes
|
|
|
|
* Added a Cairo backend, although it is probably non-functional.
|
|
Anyone is invited to contribute to making it work.

|
|
|

computers, although it is in a very alpha state.
