	are sent at inappropriate times due to SIGCHLD.
	* Source/NSTask.m: Move signal handler code to GSChecktasks() and
	have the signal handler simply set a flag to say work needs doing.
	* Source/NSRunLoop.m: Add calls to GSCheckTasks() so that we notice
	the death of a child.

Thu Feb 10 14:13:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/UnixFileHandle.m: ([-receivedEvent:type:extra: forMode:])

	is deallocated.

Thu Feb 10  9:34:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Headers/gnustep/base/preface.h.in: Added tests to see if _C_LNG_LNG
	and _C_ULNG_LNG are defined in the objc compiler headers and, if not,
	define them.  Long long support was added in gcc 2.8 (minimum
	compiler version recommended for GNUstep), but the defines were
	missing from the headers :-(
	* Source/NSArchiver.m: Remove conditional compile for long long stuff.
	* Source/NSData.m: ditto
	* Source/NSUnarchiver.m: ditto
	* Source/mframe.m: ditto

	write attempt fails.

Sat Feb  5  8:47:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/Foundation/NSDebug.h: Add missing function prototype -
	Patch by David Relson <relson@expressgate.net>

2000-01-27  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

	* Tools/gdomap.c (init_iface): Check to see if an
	interface is up (using SIOCGIFFLAGS), and then get the address
	information before checking whether the address is in the AF_INET
	family (patch from Jonathan Gapen <jagapen@whitewater.chem.wisc.edu>).
	
Sun Jan 16  9:10:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	Moved objc-load.c to objc-load.m and filnd-exec.c to find-exec.m

	enabled at runtime using --GNU-Debug=NSBundle

Sun Jan  9 15:20:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSGAttributedString.m: ([-attributesAtIndex:effectiveRange:])
	fixed illegal parameter - reported by jagapen@whitewater.chem.wisc.edu

Wed Jan  5 16:22:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSData.m: when serializing selectors, cope with untyped
	selectors instead of crashing.

Wed Jan  5 14:37:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSTimeZone.m: Changed order of lookup to determine the local
	timezone:
	1. User defaults with key 'Local Time Zone'
	2. GNUSTEP_TZ environment variable
	3. $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/Resources/NSTimeZones/localtime
	4. TZ environment variable
	5. Use UTC
	This means that the TZ environment variable can now safely be used for
	non-GNUstep timezones as long as GNUSTEP_TZ is defined (or a localtime)
	file exists.

Wed Jan  5 10:00:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* NSTimeZones/NSTimeZones.tar: Made a revised set of timezones with
	timezone names offset from GMT corresponding to common usage
	(as in OPENSTEP) rather than strict Posix interpretation.
	Also added detailed instructions to the README file and added a
	small makefile to build the abbreviations/regions tools.

Tue Jan  4 22:40:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSCalendarDate.m: ([-yearOfCommonEra]) fix rounding error.

Tue Dec 21 13:27:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	Fixes suggested by karl@nfox.com
	* Source/propList.h: Bugfix parsing larger lists.
	* Source/NSProcessInfo.m: Avoid use of freopen()
	* Source/GSeq.h: for ranges not found, return NSNotFound as the
	location rather than 0 - for compatibility with Apple.
	* NSDeserializer.m: Return nil if given nil data or an object that
	is not a data object.

1999-12-19  David Lazaro  <khelekir@encomix.es>

	* configure.in (objc_thread_lib): Added support for FreeBSD native
	POSIX threads (from the reentrant C library, libc_r).  Made this the
	first option to test as this is the best working one.
	* configure: New build to support the above mentioned.

Fri Dec 17 17:55:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	Fix error in last change.

Fri Dec 17  7:03:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSGAttributedString.m: Patch (slightly modified) by Adam Fedor
	to permit setting attributes on an empty string (as a no-op).

Wed Dec 15 18:50:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSHost.m: Update again - record current host name for duration
	of process and cache hosts keyed on the name under which they were
	created.  This can result in multiple cache entries for the same host,
	but this seems to be necessary as DNS name <--> address mappings can
	be asymmetric.
	Thanks to dan@services.iiruc.ro for pointing this out.

Wed Dec 15 17:30:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/Foundation/NSObject.h: dealloc notification stuff for Helge

	and hack.
	([+timeZoneWithName:]) Fixed bug in loading timezone data file (unusual
	formats could cause a crash).
	* Source/NSScanner.m: ([-initWithString:]) fix to handle being passed
	a nil string (use an empty string and log an error).
	* NSTimeZones/NSTimeZones.tar: updated to latest info and made sure
	files are in the correct place.

Mon Dec 13 13:31:00 1999  Chris Ball <cball@fmco.com>

	* Source/NSTimeZone.m: Replaced the original, correct comment and
		removed Richard's replacement incorrect comment.

Fri Dec  9 17:00:00 1999  Chris Ball <cball@fmco.com>

	Sorry, I did a commit one directory to deep.
	* Source/NSArray.m: NSMutableArray's compared against a garbage pointer
		on removal.  This causes real problems on SMP machines.
	* Source/NSGarray.m
	* Source/NSCalendarDate.m: DateByAddingYears lost timeZone info.
		InitWithString didn't deal with adjacent format specifiers.
	* Source/NSDate.m: addTimeInterval messed up timeZone if used with
		calendarDate
	* Source/NSLock.m: Trylock was broken and lockBeforeDate was 
		unimplemented
	* Source/NSObject.m: The release code was broken for SMP machine use.
	* Source/NSTimeZone.m: The GMT+-** files are in the root directory on
		OpenStep and are in Etc/ on GNUstep so check both.

Mon Dec 13 12:20:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	Fixes for cball's changes (who is cball?, and why didn't s/he produce
	a ChangeLog entry or conform to GNU indentation?  It took me hours to
	tidy this up).
	* Source/NSDate.m: ([NSGDate -addTimeInterval:]) removed bogus
	implementation of method (inherits from NSDate).
	* Source/NSCalendarDate.m: Added implementation of ([-addTimeInterval:])
	with specific code for NSCalendarDate.  Reformatted code to GNUstep
	style.
	* Source/NSGArray.m: ([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:]) and
	([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:inRange:]) reverted to correct code.
	([-removeObject:]) and ([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:inRange:]) removed
	changes and added fixes so that methods are safe where multiple objects
	equal to the object to be removed are present in the array.
	* Source/NSArray.m: Similar fixes for object removal.
	* Source/NSObject.m: Rewritten mutex code so that mutexes are not used
	for retain/release unless the app is multi-threaded.

Wed Dec  1 19:36:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSArray.m: When sorting, treat illegal return values from the

	data is availabvle on a comms channel - as per spec.  This bug was
	also reported by Dan <dan@services.iirux.ro>
	* Source/NSHost.m: Use inet_aton() if available.

1999-11-18  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

	* Source/GNUmakefile: Install unicode headers.
	* Source/Makefile.postamble: Script for doing unicode installation.

Sun Nov  7 14:04:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/o_vscanf.c Reverted to earlier version - the last fix was
	causing distributed objects to fail!  I don't know why, but DO seems
	more important than the bugfix - so, pending a rewrite of DO
	encoding/decoding to remove the dependency on the old stream code,
	we need to leave this as it is.

1999-11-09  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

	* Source/o_vscanf.c (o_vscanf): Don't count '\n' as whitespace.

Thu Nov  4 1999  Michael Hanni <mhanni@sprintmail.com>

	* Source/NSObject.m: added FreeBSD specific code in
	initialization so that the FPU is intialized with the correct
	exception flag. This allows NSConnection to work on FreeBSD (gdnc,
	gdomap, gpbs.)

Thu Nov  4 10:52:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSArray.m: use NSLog() to warn about attempts to remove nil.

	* Source/NSURL.m: (-[scheme]) removed a hopefully accidentally placed
	space character in a call to (-[NSString rangeOfString]).
	
Tue Sep 12 14:00:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

	* Source/NSConnection.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support as it
	provided little performance improvement and was responsible for a few
	bugs I've never been able to track down, and major problems if the maps
	at either end of the link get out of sync (which is unavoidable in some
	rare circumstances).
	* Headers/Foundation/NSConnection.h: Removed cross-reference maps
	* Source/ConnectedCoder.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support
	* Source/NSPortCoder.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support
