PANTOMIME 1.2.2
------------------

I am pleased to announce a new, maintenace release of Pantomime.

We (mainly German Arias, Riccardo Mottola, Sebastian Reitenbach) 
imported Pantomime from Ludovic's CW since the original author showed no 
activity.  Attempts to get patches and fixes into the original tree 
failed thus we forked. All changes are available under the LGPL as the 
original so if, they remain available and can be merged in at will. For 
now, we plan to continue the bug fixing and portability improvement that 
were long since needed.


The current repository is now hosted at gna.org, nonfsf-gnustep project:
https://gna.org/projects/gnustep-nonfsf

The download is at:

This release contains updates and some important, long-needed fixes:
* new res_init code for NetBSD which allows finally, after years, to run 
GNUMail on NetBSD!
* enhanced portability to FreeBSD and OpenBSD
* improved packaging hints in the makefiles
* port to MacOS reinstantiated (10.3/10.4 tested)
* extended 64bit fixes, including NSInteger/NSUInteger transitions were 
appropriate
* enhanced crash catching, so that debugging is eased in the future
* memory leaks fixed
