Weeks ending 20 May 2001
gnustep-base (Foundation)
Some tidying up and portability fixes have been made, some warning
messages have been made more informative.
Trying to initialise a date from an illegal string value now returns
a nil object rather than raising an exception.
Some path manipulation methods of NSString have been modified to
behave strictly as the MacOS-X documentation
specifies.
NSInvocation has been extended to permit sending of messages to
'super' ... an obscure improvement only relevant
to people writing bridges from other languages to Objective-C. It
allows you to subclass an ObjectiveC class from
the other language.
gnustep-db (Database library)
Various makefile changes have been made to get the adaptors for some
databases to build cleanly.
These are the interfaces to MySL, Postgres, Sybase, SQLServer, and
Oracle7
gnustep-make (Makefiles package)
A few minor fixes have been made
GNUstep-Guile (Guile language interface)
Updated to handle the NSProxy class,and in particular to permit
effective subclassing
of Objective-C classes from withing Guile ... Guile methods that
override existing Objective-C
methods can now call those pre-existing methods.
tests (Regression testing package)
NSString path manipulation tests were added ... leading to some work
to make a few methods
in the base library conform to the MacOS-X documentation.
NSProxy tests added - to test forwarding of messags to subclasses of
a proxy.
