Application releases...
All, Since we just did a major release of core it seems like a good idea to me to release all of our major applications within the next week so that packagers will have a decent set of applications to bundle with the current release. I'm planning on doing a Gorm release by the end of the week (Saturday or Sunday). I'd like to know what the release readiness of each of the major applications is at the moment.

Re: Application releases...
Hi, testers and feedbacks are welcome. I have somehow unofficially taken over GWorkspace and SystemPreferences. They are both in a reasonable state, although tests and possible patches are welcome. I don't even know if SP needs a new release at all. What concerns me is ProjectCenter. The release is sorely needed since, the last release was 0.5.0. I have no t really big problems with the current 0.6.0 so I'd release it except for a problem with filesaving and Undo which needs a better test. The planned features of 0.6.0 should be posponed to 0.6.1. (as I wrote more than a month ago!) I have no special complaints about Gorm that are not in the bugtracker, so give a bit of fixes I think it is releasable too. I don't know if Richard plans a Thematic release, but the fact is that the last tame I worked on didn't work and I needed to tweak it manually, so maybe it is not ready. I have PRICE essentially ready, the fixes in Gorm allowed me to port all the new stuff from Mac to GNUstep. It needs testing however, since most of the controllers saw updating and I could have broken things. This will be the 1.0 release! Several applications in GAP need some "minor adjustments" too but are almost ready.

I don't even know if SP needs a new release at all. Well, since that's you I'd like to see some of the bugs in GWorkspace. Specifically that sqlite configure bug (24995). GWorkspace has a bunch of "annoying" bugs here and there that make it a pain to use day-in-day-out. One thing that really annoys me about it is that it's a session manager but it's not a session manager. In this case I have to start WindowMaker (for example) in the background and then GWorkspace, but since whenever GW logs out it doesn't close WM correctly, none of the dock icons get saved. But I can't start GW before WM or else the "Log Out" doesn't actually log you out, it only closes GS apps and quits. Also, I'd really like to see a release of pbxbuild (and integration with PC, I know that's a long shot request). Releases of GAP and Etoile apps/libraries would be nice, too. That's it for me... I'll get off the soap box now. Stefan ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

It is now also visible in the software index.

Re: Application releases...
All, Since we just did a major release of core Was there an announcement of the actual release somewhere? I am only aware about the discussion relating to an *upcoming* release. I made an announcement on the info-gnustep list. It's also on the GNUstep wiki. It may be worth posting the announcement to discuss-gnustep too ? :-) I wasn't subscribed to info-gnustep myself and was confused myself about whether we had released the core libraries or not. ;-) Just a suggestion - I think a reasonable policy would be to have announcements posted to both discuss-gnustep and info-gnustep; discuss-gnustep is then for people who want to receive everything (announcements, discussions, chats, etc), while info-gnustep is for people who want to receive only the official announcements (lower traffic). :-) I just can't imagine why someone would want to receive all the discuss- gnustep posts discussing details and situations that may or may not affect them, and *not* receive the official announcements of new releases, which affect everyone. ;-) But, it is only a suggestion. Otherwise, I guess I need to subscribe to info-gnustep. :-) Thanks ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Hi Well, since that's you I'd like to see some of the bugs in GWorkspace. Specifically that sqlite configure bug (24995). GWorkspace has a bunch of "annoying" bugs here and there that make it a pain to use day-in-day-out I tried to amend that, the problem was actually both a bug and a feature request. REmoval of the dependency I consider a feature request, the real bug was that even if selected, the GWMetadata subproject did not build. Now I made both configuring and building dependent on the configure option, which by default is turned off. Give it a spin.

Re: Application releases...
Thanks... I'll try it out as soon as I can. Saw that you updated the bug report, as well, and will report back there. Build GWorkspace just a few weeks back on Slackware 13.1 (latest release) and it was giving me the same problems... sqlite3.h is found but it can't link against the function it's looking for (it's a bit weird). On that note, when can we expect a new release of GW? It's been a while.

I never understood that error. It might be a slackware oddity, I got GWorkspace compile with sqlite on all my systems, including Windows! On that note, when can we expect a new release of GW? It's been a while. Yes, but I admit I worked on it sparingly. I'd love to do a release soon, given this "release" wave and the fixes that are in. I'd like a confirm about this build system change. GWorkspace has an odd display bug I notice sometimes on certain systems, but I have no reliable way of reproducing it (some icons in the browsers show clipped). Anyway, with the logic that I don't think I broke any new stuff, a release can be done soon.
