Week to 29 July 2001

gnustep-base (Foundation)


Just one minor bugfix this week ... corrected a crash if your 
machine has no IP address.



gnustep-gui (GUI frontend library)


Added new MaxcOS-X user interface validation headers.
Constrain new windows to the screen on creation.
Fixed various spellchecker bugs and removed a lot of debug output 
from the new
spellchecker code.  Implemented a spell checker that uses ispell.
Cleaned up the NSCursor code, checking against specification and 
implementing
a missing function.
Improve display of NSPopupButton
Support use of alphanumeric keys to select values in browser 
windows.



gnustep-xgps (GUI backend library)


Bugfix in rectangle drawing to cope with being given a rectangle 
whose dimensions
are less than one pixel.



gnustep-make (Makefiles package)


Improved documentation - updated description of package 
internals



JIGS (Java language interface)


New version released
Support for using Java from ObjC much improved, including automatic 
lookup and loading
of Java classes by the ObjC runtime.  You can even use JIGS and 
gstep-guile together to
run Java code from within Guile.
Enumeration parsing added, so you can simply make Objc enumeration 
constants available
to java as class constant.



gnustep-guile (Guile language interface)


Added procedure to list the methods of an object.
