Changes in version `1.10.0'
===========================
* Application and Bundles use the latest convention on Apple.
* a GNUsteprc file is now automatically created and installed in
$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, which sets the system-wide default for the
user root directory (default=~/GNUstep, which can be overriden

GNUsteprc after configuration.)
* Improve/Simplify dependency checking when making docs
* make_services is not run by GNUstep.sh anymore. You must run this
manually now (see the gnustep-gui documentation).
* Palettes use a plist instead of a strings format file now for the
palette.table file.
* You can use the `--enable-native-objc-exceptions' argument to
configure to enable use of built in objc exceptions with compilers

First of all, GNUstep uses a slightly different directory structure than
NeXT or MacOSX. Part of this is historical, part is because we can't do
things the same way (see @pxref{Why not use Frameworks?}).
GNUstep also stores libraries and binaries in subdirectories based on
the operating system and cpu. This is so you can compile and store
binaries for different systems in the same directory structure. MacOSX
uses Fat binaries to accomplish this (another reason we do it
differently). If you want, you can get rid of this using the
