- 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!
