4 This is version 0.8.9 of the GNUstep GUI library (`gnustep-gui').
5
6 What is the GNUstep GUI Library?
7 ================================
8
9 It is a library of graphical user interface classes written
10 completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the
11 OpenStep specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library
12 has been enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU
13 system. These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text
14 fields, popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many
15 associated classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and
16 images.
17
18 The GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts. The first part is
19 the front-end component which is independent of platform and display
20 system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which
21 handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to
22 X/Windows. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the
23 "look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to
24 the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display
25 systems.
26
27 The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the
28 GNUstep Base Library, the TIFF Graphics library, and a back-end
29 component like the GNUstep 'Back' Backend.

31 Noteworthy changes in version `0.8.9'
32 =====================================
33
34 Note that many headers have moved to new locations (both in the
35 package and when installed), so it is possible, although not likely
36 that some applications may not compile because they cannot find the
37 right header.
38
39 * New Language Setup documentation.
40
41 Where can you get it? How can you compile it?
42 ==============================================
43
44 The gstep-gui-0.8.9.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
45 `ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.
46
47 the TIFF Graphics library version 3.4 is required.
48
49 It also requires the GNUstep Base Library.
50
51 Where do I send bug reports?
52 ============================
53
54 Please log bug reports on the GNUstep project page
55 <http://savannah.gnu.org/support/?group=gnustep> or send bug reports to
56 <bug-gnustep@gnu.org>.
