ANNOUNCE
********

This is version 0.9.0 of Gorm.

What is Gorm?
=============

   Gorm is an acronym for Graphic Object Relationship modeler (or
perhaps GNUstep Object Relationship Modeler).

   Gorm is a clone of the NeXTstep `Interface Builder' application for
GNUstep.

Noteworthy changes in version `0.9.0'
=====================================

   * Images/Sounds can now be dragged into a matrix cell.

   * Fully implemented date and number formatter inspectors (these
     classes still need work in GUI).

     created with a newer version of Gorm

   * Modified data.classes format so that only those actions
     specifically added to FirstResponder are listed.

Newsgroup postings and GNUstep lists

For a few weeks, the links from all gnu.gnustep.* newsgroups to email
lists was switched off because of increasing spam. As described in
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2005-02/msg00280.html
Adam Fedor has now got a way to moderate newsgroup posts going into
the mailing lists, so it has been reactivated.

Practical consequences:
 - newsgroup posts weren't seen by list members until a few days ago
 - posts from new people may get a slight delay before appearing
    on-list, but they do get there

For a list of newsgroups (and lists and archives and GMANE),
see http://www.gnustep.org/information/gethelp.html

ANN: GNUstep Startup Version 0.9.1


The GNUstep Startup Package, version 0.9.1 is now available.

What is the GNUstep Startup Package?
====================================

GNUstep Startup is a compilation of the following core GNUstep packages:
gnustep-make Version 1.10.0
gnustep-base Version 1.10.1
gnustep-gui Version 0.9.4
gnustep-back Version 0.9.4

In addition, there is a set of scripts to automatically build and
install the core GNUstep system.  You can run it at any time: before,
during, and after you have installed GNUstep.

After installing GNUstep Startup, you will have a complete runtime 
system
for compiling and running GNUstep applications. For a complete 
developement
system, you would also need to install the Gorm and ProjectCenter 
applications.

The installation scripts have currently been tested on:

GNU-Linux/PPC (YellowDog Linux 3.0)
Darwin/PPC 7.x
Solaris 2.7

Note for developers and testers: You can use these scripts to build the

[ANN]: GNU Smalltalk-ObjC Bridge

GNU Smalltalk <-> GNU Objective C runtime bridge and STM file type

Released under the GNU GPL on Feb. 20, 2005, you can download it from 
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/contrib/gstobjc-1.2.tar.bz2

What gstobjc provides:
   Mostly transparent messaging across Smalltalk objects and
   Objective-C objects. File type '.stm' which is an exact mix
   of Objective-C and Smalltalk source in one file, see provided
   'SDL.stm' for an example of this. Emacs mode provided in
   'stm-mode.el', uses multi-mode.el (provided). See
   StmCompiler.st and StmSourceFile.st for processing.

gstobjc's current limitations:
   Class names and selector names need to be defined on the
   ompiled ObjC side, for type information and lookup. (usually
   ObjC messaging a Smalltalk object). See #method in SDL.stm.

   Not fully tested class-to-class message sending.

gstobjc's dependencies:
   GCC with Objective C runtime (libobjc), GNU Smalltalk 2.1.7+

How to use gstobjc:
   Include STObject.m and Smalltalk.m with your compiled project,
   providing the .st files upon execution. See example-main.m for
   initialising GNU Smalltalk with the ObjC binding.

Version: 1.2

ANN: New Windows Installer now with GUI!

Hi,

it took some time, but now there is a new Windows Installer. And this
one contains gui and back as well! As an added bonus base is now
linked with zlib and I threw in a newer version of gdb.

The release consists of the following files:
GNUstep-base-1.10.1-gui-0.9.4.exe
MD5-checksums-GNUstep-base-1.10.1-gui-0.9.4
README-GNUstep-base-1.10.1-gui-0.9.4

and is available from ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/binaries/windows

The installer contains already built binaries, but at install time one
can choose to actually build them from source instead of just copying
them from the installer to your disk.

The only way in which the content of the installer deviates from the
actual gui 0.9.4 release is a small patch on NSMenu.h. Without this
patch the windows port of gcc 3.2.3 dumps core.

Regards,
Tom Koelman

ANN: SQLClient Library Version 1.1.0

What is the SQLClient library?
===============================

The SQLClient library is designed to provide a simple interface to SQL
databases for GNUstep applications. It does not attempt the sort of
abstraction provided by the much more sophisticated GDL2 library
but rather allows applications to directly execute SQL queries and 
statements.

SQLClient provides for the Objective-C programmer much the same thing 
that
JDBC provides for the Java programmer (though SQLClient is a bit faster,
easier to use, and easier to add new database backends for than JDBC).

The major features of the SQLClient library are -

     * Simple API for executing queries and statements...
       a variable length sequence of comma separated strings and other
       objects (NSNumber, NSDate, NSData) are concatenated into a single
       SQL statement and executed.
     * Simple API for combining multiple SQL statements into a single
       transaction which can be used to minimise client-server 
interactions
       to get the best possible performance from your database.
     * Supports multiple sumultaneous named connections to a database 
server
       in a thread-safe manner.
     * Supports multiple simultaneous connections to different database
       servers with backend driver bundles loaded for different database
       engines. Clear, simple subclassing of the abstract base class to

ANN: GNUstep Startup Version 0.9.2

What is the GNUstep Startup Package?
====================================

GNUstep Startup is a compilation of the following core GNUstep packages:
gnustep-make Version 1.10.0
gnustep-base Version 1.10.1
gnustep-gui Version 0.9.4 (with patches)
gnustep-back Version 0.9.4

The main advantage of Startup is that it includes a script to
automatically build and install the core GNUstep system.

After installing GNUstep Startup, you will have a complete system for
compiling and running GNUstep applications. You will, of course, need
to compile and install applications (such as GWorkspace) to actually
use GNUstep in a runtime system. For a complete developement system,
you would also need to install the Gorm and ProjectCenter
applications.

The installation scripts have currently been tested on:

GNU-Linux/PPC (YellowDog Linux 3.0)
Darwin/PPC 7.x
Solaris/SPARC 2.7

NOTES: Windows uses should preferably use the Windows binary installer
available at www.gnustep.org. Some systems (Debian, FreeBSD, Gentoo,
etc) have precompiled binaries of GNUstep available through their
