Re: ANN: DataBasin 0.1

Hi Riccardo and list,
 
Of interest might be its core, DBSoap, which implements the access to the APIs. It is designed to be reusable for other projects. As far as I know it is the only "Open source" implementation of its kind. It is released as LGPL.


I think I need to investigate how DataBasin works. I think that this could make a perfect foundation for developing a SOAP client for Atlassian JIRA which quite a few development shops are using out there.
Has anyone done any experiments in this direction using GSWC?

Cheers,
Tim

ANN: GWorkspace 0.8.8

I'm pleased to annouce that GWorkspace version 0.8.8  is now available.
Many thanks to all those who helped with testing or contributed with patches.

What is GWorkspace?
====================================

GWorkspace is a workspace manager for GNUstep.

Changes in version 0.8.8
=========================

* the GWMetadata subproject is now controlled by a configure option. This means that sqlite is no longer a
hard dependency if live folders and search functionality is not desired. It also means that if selected,
it will be really configured, built and installed (up to now it was manual).

* portability issues fixed (SPARC crashes, HURD constants)
* builds on Windows (MinGW)
* cleanups and updates in the build system
* extensive warning fixing and code cleanup (like header imports)
* use standard classes and functions (NSProgressIndicator, info panel...)
* removal of private GNUstep.h copies
* improved terminal services interface and interaction
* various crash fixes
* improvements with the detection of optional PDFkit for the PDF 
contents inspector

Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
==================================================

You can download sources from 
ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/usr-apps/gworkspace-0.8.8.tar.gz 
<ftp://ftp.gnustep.org/pub/gnustep/usr-apps/gworkspace-0.8.7.tar.gz>
(download will be available soon)

The official homepage of the project is:
http://www.gnustep.org/experience/GWorkspace.html

Build Note: As a result of a more strict and correct build system, on 
some platforms, where gworkspace could compile even without sqlite (like 
windows), it is now strictly required.

[ANN] PDFKit 0.9 released

Hi all,

with the help of Richard Stonehone, a new  version of PDFKit was 
created: version 0.9.0. PDFkit was essentially in an abandoned state and 
did not build on several platforms and had other problems.

GWorkspace's PDF content inspector needs PDFKit and is thus a useful 
dependency.

The key point is the upgrade from xpdf 3.0.1 to 3.0.2 which provides 
many rendering fixes, better compatibility with newer PDF versions and 
security fixes.

The build system was upgraded too:
- better configure system
- fixes to pass compiler, includes and library options which were unreliable
- several defaults and OS version detection so that PDFKit defaults 
without further options on many default OSs

I created a WIKI entry for PDFKit:
http://wiki.gnustep.org/index.php/PDFKit

Cheers,
   Riccardo from the GAP Team
