This is version 0.9.4 of the GNUstep GUI library (`gnustep-gui').
|
|
|
|
What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely
|
|
in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OpenStep
|
|
specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library has been
|
|
enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system.
|
|
These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields,
|
|
popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated
|
|
classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
X/Windows. 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 Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the
|
|
GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end
|
|
component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend.
|
|
|
|
Noteworthy changes in version `0.9.4'
|
|
=====================================
|
|
|
|
* The printing classes have been completely reorganized to
|
|
accommodate different native printing systems (Thanks to Chad
|
|
Hardin).
|
|
|
|
* PPD files have been moved to a separate package.
|
|
|
|
* NSToolbar now allows rearranging items.
|
|
|
|
* NSScroller, NSScrollView has a new ivar.
|
|
|
|
* Some improvement of NSDataLink classes.
|
|
|
|
Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
The gstep-gui-0.9.4.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
|
|
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.
|
|
|
|
Read the INSTALL file or the GNUstep-HOWTO for installation
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
