available New editions of packages that form framework gnustep , designed to develop cross-platform graphic and server applications using API close to Apple Cocoa software interfaces. In addition to libraries with the realization of Appkit and framework components FOUNDATION , the project also develops tools for designing the GORM interface and the ProjectCenter development environment, aimed at creating portable analogs of InterfaceBuilder, ProjectBuilder and Xcode. The main language of development is Objective-C, but GNUSTEP can be used with other languages. The supported platforms are: MacOS, Solaris, GNU / Linux, GNU / HURD, NETBSD, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and Windows. Project operations distributed under the LGPLV3 license.
Changes in new issues mainly relate to improving compatibility with similar Apple libraries and expand support for various platforms, including Android platform. The most notable for users to improve the initial support for the Wayland protocol.
- GNUSTEP Base 1.28.0 – general purpose library, protruding the library analog Apple Foundation and including objects are not related to graphics, for example, classes for processing rows, streams, notifications, network functions, event processing and access to external objects.
- GNUSTEP GUI Library 0.29.0 – Library, covering classes for creating The graphical user interface based on the Apple Cocoa API, including classes with the implementation of various types of buttons, lists, input fields, windows, error handlers, functions for working with colors and images. GNUSTEP GUI Library consists of two parts – frontland, independent of platforms and window systems, and a backend, in which the elements specific for graphic systems are made.
- GNUSTEP GUI BACKED 0.29.0 – Set of backends for GNUSTEP GUI Library implementing the support of the X11 and the Windows Graphic Subsystem. The key innovation of the new issue is the initial support for graphics systems based on the Wayland protocol. In addition, the new version of the windowmaker and API Win64 is improved in the new version.
- GNUSTEP GORM 1.2.28 – a program for modeling user interface (Graphic Object Relationship Modeler), Reminder OpenStep / NextStep Interface Builder.
- GNUSTEP Makefile Package 2.9.0 – Toolkit for creating assembly files for GNUSTEP projects to generate makefile with support for different platforms without recess in low-level parts.
