I don't know how long that will be. I'm done. I needed to check a change I made to GSWindowTemplate for custom window classes. My tests indicate it's working properly. Please go ahead with the release. Sorry for the delay, but I was at work a little late today. :) Thanks, GJC Gregory John Casamento -- CEO/President Open Logic Corp.

After the change, we now link a tool just against -lgnustep-base. gnustep-base itself is now linked to libobjc. So if your gnustep-base was built with the old gnustep-make, but you're using the new gnustep-make to link a tool, libobjc is not linked into gnustep-base (old building style), and will not be linked into the tool (new building style), so you get undefined symbols because libobjc is never linked. Rebuilding only gnustep-base might be enough to fix the problem ... I'd still rebuild everything just to be sure. This makes upgrades a bit cumbersome as you have to upgrade everything, but well that's why we're making a major release I suppose. ;-) Well, I can revert the make part of the patch. It shouldn't be a problem to have lobjc linked multiple times. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

It shouldn't be a problem to have lobjc linked multiple times. My personal suggestion would be to leave the change in, but add a clear explanation (that you need to recompile everything) in the release notes. Eg, taking us (Brainstorm/Opera Telecom) as an example, ordinately rebuilding all software on our live systems when we do our next upgrade should not be too much of a problem ... the important thing is that we know we have to do it! :-) I'm happy with any other solution (including reverting the make part of the patch), I don't think it is particularly important -- the most important thing is having a clear understanding of what is needed to upgrade without problems, and communicating it to users.

The Windows pseudo-framework support needs more polishing ... hopefully I can do some more tomorrow (there are nice patches and suggestions pending -- thanks!). It's probably not a release-critical issue though ? Yes. Do what you can do. I find that things don't really get tested until after I make a release anyway. So it's more than likely I'll have a patch release within a few weeks. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Unless there are any objections. Fine for me. I am still investigating on how best to implement the pattern colours, so this will only go into the release after.
