GNUstep GUI Library ANNOUNCE **************************** This is version 0.1.0 of the GNUstep GUI library (libgnustep-gui). What is the GNUstep GUI Library? It is a library of graphical user interface classes written completely in the Objective-C language; the classes are based upon the OPENSTEP(tm) specification as release by NeXT Software, Inc. The library does not completely conform to the specification and has been enhanced in a number of ways to take advantage of the GNU system. These classes include graphical objects such as buttons, text fields, popup lists, browser lists, and windows; there are also many associated classes for handling events, colors, fonts, pasteboards and images. The design of libgnustep-gui is designed in two parts. The first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform and display system. This front-end is combined with a back-end component which handles all of the display system dependent such as specific calls to X/Windows. This design allows the GNUstep applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display system without any changes to the application, and the library can be easily ported to other display systems. The GNUstep GUI Library requires the GNU Objective-C compiler, the GNUstep Base Library, and back-end component like the GNUstep X/DPS GUI Backend. Creators rejoice!
