Editorial 29 March 2002
Mailing lists
GNUMail.app has reached version 1.0.0! Great work Ludovic Marcotte and
everybody who helped him.
Sometimes a little URL shows you some nice apps. That happened this
week. Yen-Ju Chen send the URL of his homepage where we can find his
PCRE wrappers for GNUstep, and curious as your editor is, he visited
the link. To my suprise there where another two nice GNUstep
applications which nobody knew about. So I would like to say: Visist
this one [1]http://www.people.virginia.edu/~yc2w/GNUstep/english/.
Ofcourse you can now also find them in the software section of
gnustep.net.
Code changes
Nicola Pero changed the config.make.in. He added extensive comment
about why we should not get AWK and SED from configuration, but simply
define them to be 'awk' and 'sed'.
Richard Frith-Macdonald more Windows stuff to handle sterr and
processes better. And het added the NSZombie functionality.
In gnustep-gui Gregory John Casamento added dictionary to
NSOutlineView, Adam Fedor added a patch by Yen-Ju Chen to use new
unicode functions for string conversion and he also made the biggest
change of this week: the introduction of the new backend:
gnustep-back. For this report I will quote a part of his e-mail:
This is basically a revised xgps library broken up into better organized
pieces (window server, device-independant graphics stack, xlib graphics
stack).
I've also revised the list of graphic operators (PS and DPS operators)
to only include essential graphic operators that don't require stack
handling (which we've never properly implemented anyway) plus a few more
functions that provide some important behavior. This new set of
graphic operators should also allow us to emulate Quartz functionality
(at some point).
And last update on gnustep-gui is the patch by Jeff Teunissen for
NSWorkspace and the added Common_HomeDirectory.tiff. Great work!
Since gnustep-xgps will become absolete in the near future I'll just
report that Adam Fedor made the hacks to get xgps to work with new
frontend server split.
That leaves me for the GNUstep core with the code introduction of
gnustep-back which was largely a code abstraction of xgps, with
changes and introduction by Adam Fedor.
Manuel Guesdon made gsweb comply more to the coding standards, while
Gregory John Casamento and Pierre-Yves Rivaille worked their way
through Gorm which has now support for GormNSTableView.
