This is a new stable release of the base library. Note that
|
|
|
|
|
gnustep-core is now installed in the LOCAL domain by default
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the SYSTEM domain. You may want to remove old
|
|
|
|
|
installations in the SYSTEM domain to avoid any
|
|
|
|
|
incompatibility problems. Or you can force installation in
|
|
|
|
|
SYSTEM using make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM
|
|
|
|
|
install.

intervals to see if the other end is still there. This is enabled

not mean that networking supports IPv6 yet though.

<p>The current emphasis of the base library is MacOS-X compatibility,
|
|
|
|
|
and the headers in this release mark many non-MacOS-X methods as being
|
2008-11-21 15:50:13 +00:00
|
|
|
scheduled for removal by the next unstable release (from 1.17.0).<br />
|
2008-06-12 10:03:39 +00:00
|
|
|
These methods will mostly be moved to the 'additions' library,
|
|
|
|
|
(which can be built stand-alone in conjunction with the Cocoa Foundation
|
|
|
|
|
framework as libgnustep-baseadd on OSX) and their declarations will
|
|
|
|
|
be in the headers of that library (<GNUstepBase/...>) rather
|
|
|
|
|
than in the <em>Foundation</em> directory.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
NB. The markup in the headers and documentation should not be
|
|
|
|
|
assumed to be exhaustive ... it is planned that the next stable
|
|
|
|
|
release of the base library will enforce MacOS-X compatibility
|
|
|
|
|
by default, and you will have to explicitly include headers from
|
|
|
|
|
<GNUstepBase/...> in order to use GNUstep specific
|
|
|
|
|
additions.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
You should track the unstable branch of the base library (subversion
|
|
|
|
|
trunk) to find out what changes your software actually needs to make.

|
|
|
|
|
<p>The TODO list for MacOS-X 10.5 compatibility follows,
|
|
|
|
|
this is all stuff which would ideally be done by the next
|
|
|
|
|
stable release of this library.

This is an unstable release from 1.14.0. It is otherwise

identical to the 1.14.0 release. Releases in the 1.15 series

|

|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
This is a stable release ... all programs linked with earlier
|
|
|
|
|
versions of the library and wishing to use this latest stable
|
|
|
|
|
release need to be rebuilt from source.<br />
|
|
|
|
|
This release should be used in conjunction with the latest
|
|
|
|
|
stable release of the other gnustep core components.
|
|
|
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
This release continues the process of cleanup and restructuring
|
|
|
|
|
to further improve MacOS-X compatibility, fix bugs, optimise
|
|
|
|
|
performance, and improve portability between different
|
|
|
|
|
hardware/operating system platforms.

We are starting to integrate the Cocoa NSStream classes

into GNUstep, which allow you to do much the same things

|
|
as the GNUstep-specific run loop watcher API was
|
|
|
|
|
intended. At some point the watcher API will be deprecated
|
|
|
|
|
as it will be redundant with NSStream functionality. Also
|
|
|
|

the deprecated win32 specific methods for NSRunLoop were

removed.

The interface version of the base library has changed in

|
|
|
|
this release. Applications, libraries and tools that
|
|
|
|
|
wish to use this new version must be recompiled
|
|
|
|
|
(otherwise, they'll use the older version of the library).

A lot of the behavior of path handling in the base
|
|
|
|
|
library has changed with respect to Window's machines.
|
|
|
|
|
Windows native paths are used throughout.
|
|
|
|
|
The fileSystemRepresentation methods now use utf-16
|
|
|
|
|
as the external c-string representation on windows.
|
|
|
|
|
The local to openstep and openstep to local methods
|
|
|
|

are now deprecated and do nothing. Other changes to
|
|
|
|
|
classes and class variables have also occurred (detailed

|

At the startup of any application or tool, GNUstep used to
|
|
|
|
|
look at various environment variables in order to find
|
|
|
|
|
the location of various data directories and other
|
|
|
|
|
things. GNUstep still does this, but the environment
|
|
|
|
|
variables are no longer required to find these
|
|
|
|
|
files. In addition the configuration files used to
|
|
|
|
|
override certain path behavior has been changed and
|
|
|
|
|
expanded. See the base library documentation on GNUstep
|
|

|

Windows supports unichar file paths, but there isn't
|
|
|
|
|
really an API for handling this. GNUstep-specific
|
|
|
|
|
methods for dealing with this have been
|
|
|
|
|
added, <code>NSFileManager's
|
|
|
|
|
-localFromOpenStepPath</code> and
|
|
|
|
|
<code>openStepPathFromLocal</code> and equivalent methods for
|
|
|
|
|
<code>NSString</code>. In most cases the Base library should
|
|
|
|
|
handle this problem internally, but it's possible that there
|
|
|
|
|
are cases where the developer wants to handle the file name
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly with system-specific functions.

cause problems if you access ivars directly, perhaps

through a subclass.

The interface version of the base library has changed in

this release, as it will in all future releases with a

|
new minor number (that's the second number in the

release number). Applications, libraries and tools that

wish to use this new version must be recompiled
|
|
|
|
|
(otherwise, they'll use the older version of the library).

There is no single reason for this change. Arguably, it

When extraneous data is encountered in the input, it is ignored

(and a warning logged) rather than adding it to the

message body. Not sure this is right though, perhaps we should

raise an exception or extend the api to return the extra

data. Anyway, it's better than the previous behavior of

adding the bad data to the parsed body.
