Patch for base/configure.ac


From: Kazunobu Kuriyama
Subject: Patch for base/configure.ac
Date: Sun, 08 Jun 2003 08:03:39 +0900
User-agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; ja-JP; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020614

Hi,

The proposed patch is made for core/base/configure.ac.

It defines additional two options:
   --with-ffcall-include=incdir
   --with-ffcall-library=libdir
Basically, when these options are specified, the variables
CPPFLAGS and LIBS are changed into '-I/incdir CPPFLAGS' and
'-L/libdir LIBS', respectively.

Although similar functionality is realized by specifying
CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS when having the configure script run,
I think the proposed patch does it in a cleaner way.

With best regards,

        Remove GNUstep property list extensions from the api ... make more
        like MacOS and OpenStep spec by having a central mechanism for
        generating property lists rather than spreading the code across the
        plist classes.
        Also ... maintain allocation debug accounting when making objects
        immutable.

        Fixed bugs in usage of condition locks so it actually works.
        * Testing/thread.m: New test to try out
        performSelectorOnMainThread:withObject:waitUntilDone:modes:

        the link line for linux-gnu and other systems, so that dladdr() is
        actually found.  With the 'simple' linker, print a message saying
        if we found dladdr() or not.
        (OBJC_SYS_DYNAMIC): Historical unused macro removed.
        * configure: Regenerated.

2002-10-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSBundle.m ([NSBundle +_addFrameworkFromClass:]): remove
        the classes in the _loadingBundle that does not belong to it but with
        frameworks linked with it.
        ([NSBundle +bundleForClass:]): construct a list of NSFramework_*

        If we can't operate properly, run in read-only ,mode where we try
        to read the file if possible, but never write defaults back.

2002-10-10  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m: ([-synchronize]) handle locking more
        carefully ... avoid cpu intensive busy loops and give up after

        path utilities file.
        * Documentation/Functions.gsdoc: Handcrafted template.
        * Documentation/TypesAndConstants.gsdoc: Handcrafted template.

2002-10-08  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSDebug.h: Make warn logs de-selectable at
        runtime by setting the NoWarn debug level.  Document.  Say that
        debug levels can be added by putting them in the GNU-Debug
        array in the defaults database.
        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m: Add contents of the GNU-Debug array to
        the set of active debug levels.

        allocation.
        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: Don't abort on failure to allocate memory ...

2002-10-06  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: readContentsOfFile() fix use of atomic memory
        on GC systems ... problem noticed by Fred.

Sat Oct  5 19:53:03 2002  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSData.m ([NSDataMappedFile
        -initWithContentsOfMappedFile:]): release self and return nil -

2002-10-05  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Tools/AGSOutput.m: Improve warning code, support text output
        in chapter/section/subsection.
        * Tools/AGSParser.m: move concatenation of comments into a single
        method, make it insert a linebreak between concatenated comments,
        and make it refrain from appending the same comment onto itsself
        (which would happen if the same file was parsed twice, as both a
        header and as source).
        Treat the 'main()' function specially ... don't document it as a
        function but insert its comments at the end of the 'chapter' part
        of the output document.  These modifications make it easy to
        document a directory containing tools, by listing the tool source
        files as arguments to autogsdoc.
        Tools/gsdoc_0_6_7.dtd: Fix bug preventing use of text in a chapter!
        * Source/GSString.m: Implement -UTF8String method for better
        performance.

        when reporting failure to register ... try to provide all the info
        needed to begin diagnosing any problem.
        * Tools/gdomap.c: Make -M flag work with -N.  Make -M flag work when
        used after -N or -L.  Improve diagnostic messages on failure so
        people know what it is trying to do.

2002-10-04  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSArray.m: Tidied init from file to ensure that everything
        is released properly on failure, and we don't generate log messages
        where a lower level API should be doing it.  Added some documentation.
        * Source/NSDictionary.m: ditto
        * Source/NSString.m: ditto.  Also add support for understanding the
        unicode BOM at the start of UTF8 data and stripping it.
        * Source/NSData.m: Tidied read from and write to file,
        adding lots of logging information.  Also documented quite a bit.
        Resolved all conflicts found with Adam's change ... generally in
        favor of the most informative logging.
        * Source/NSPortNameServer.m: On failure to register name, make
        exception message provide lots of detail/advice for newbies.

        Release ourselves and return nil if file cannot be read.

2002-10-03  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSRunLoop.m: ([-runMode:beforeDate:]) permit the use of a
        nil date and document it.  This is the behavior MacOS seems to have
        and seems to be more useful than prohibiting nil dates.

2002-10-02  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSDistributedLock.m: Document and tidy.
        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: Don't set system zone prematurely.
        * Source/NSString.m: Don't bother to cache constant string
        class.  Document it.

2002-10-01  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * config/pathxml.m4: Filter -L/usr/lib out of XML_LIBS.

        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: Rewrite main timezone code for performance -
        Roughly doubles speed of most NSCalendarDate stuff.
        * NSThread.m: Fix for single threaded operation ... suggested by
        Ludovic Marcotte.

2002-09-29  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSFileHandle.m: Encapsulate read and write operations in
        new low level methods to ease subclassing.
        * SSL/GSSSLHandle.m: Use new read and write methods to simplify. 

2002-09-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m: Fix problem with signed/unsigned type
        conversion when initialising a date at a daylight savings time
        boundary, and attempt to improve the code for adding offsets to
        dates.
        * Source/Makefile.postamble: patch to fix some warnings in
        uninstall (by David Ayers).

2002-09-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSTcpPort.m: ([GSTcphandle+initialize]) ignore SIGPIPE in
        case a socket gets closed while we are writing.

2002-09-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Additions/GSMime.m: Fix typo.

2002-09-25  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Additions/GSXML.m: Added ([-previousElement]) to match the
        [(-nextElement]) method.

Wed Sep 25 02:46:28 2002  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Tools/make_strings/make_strings.m (main): Remove "" languages
        from the list of languages before processing.

2002-09-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSTcpHandle.m: ([-handleForPort:beforeDate:]) fix bug where
        we could end up using the last (non-matching) handle rather than
        creating a new one.

2002-09-20  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSTcpHandle.m: ([-connectToPort:beforeDate:]) Added more
        informative logging for problem condition reported by Nicila ...
        perhaps it will help tracking down cause.

2002-09-19  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSFormat.m: Where a %p format prints a null pointer,
        print the text (null).
        * Source/GSTcpHandle.m: Check port for invalidation while looping
        on write events, so we can fail if we become invalid while sending
        or connecting, before the port timeout expires.
        * Source/NSConnection.m: Check connection for invalidation while
        looping waiting for a reply, so we can fail if we become invalid
        before the timeout expires.
        * Source/DocMakefile: Specify template options
        * Tools/autogsdoc.m: Remove hack to turn templates on by default.
        Document the use of templates.
        * Tools/gsdoc-0_6_7.dtd: Hack in more types for indexing ... don't
        know if the software works for them though.

2002-09-17  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Unicode.m: Restructure conversion from unicode slightly,
        to make it clearer and more readable and to include handling of
        lossy conversions.
        * Headers/gnustep/unicode/gsm0338.h: Added table for lossy conversion
        from unicode.

2002-09-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Tools/AGSParser.m: Bugfix ... look for source files more
        intelligently. Try both current directory and relative to header.
        * Tools/AGSOutput.m: When creating template output file for functions
        etc because none was supplied, take account of the -Up flag and
        create an up link in it.
        * Source/GSHTTPURLHandle.m: If response parsing fails, fail the
        load operation and (conditionally when debug enabled) log an error.

2002-09-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m: Basic/dummy implementations of new MacOS-X
        methods added. Attribute handling totally rewritten to work in a lazy
        way ... so we only set up attribute info in the dictionary when we
        actually need it.  Account 'Number' methods and dictionary keys changed
        to be account 'ID' instead ... in accordance with MacOS-X usage.
        Documented the class.
        * Source/NSData.m: ([-writeToFile:atomically:]) implement workaround
        for bug in windoze implementation of rename()
        * Source/NSString.m: Remove some redundant code duplicating stuff in
        GSMime.m

2002-09-15  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m: MacOS-X ([componentsToDisplayForPath:]) and
        ([displayNameAtPath:]) methods implemented.  Creation date added.
        * Source/NSString.m: More alterations to GNUstep extension methods
        to make their names consistent with other methods.
        Q. Should we deprecate/remove them entirely?
        * Tools/gsdoc.m: Update for changes to extension methods... though
        this tool has been deprecated for some time now, so perhaps we
        should remove it?

2002-09-13  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/cifframe.m (cifframe_guess_struct_size): Recurse if
        element contains structures.
        (cifframe_from_info): Alloc room for return value even if caller
        doesn't use it.

Thu Sep 12 11:02:03 2002  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSObject.m ([+_becomeMultiThreaded:]): Fixed typo - this
        method was declared to take a 'NSNotification' rather than a
        'NSNotification *' argument.

2002-09-10  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSLocale.m: Double locking check fix
        * Source/NSFileManager.m: Double locking check fix
        Fixes contributed by David Ayers <d.ayers@inode.at>

2002-09-08  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/GSIArray.h: Minor optimisation
        * Headers/gnustep/unicode/gsm0338.h: Correct unicode to gsm table
        * Source/Unicode.m: Correct gsm conversion and optimise unicode to
        8-bit charaacter conversion for other character sets. Also correct
        lossy/non-lossy conversion using iconv.

2002-08-30  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Version: 1.5.0

2002-08-30  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: Implemented new MacOS-X methods -
        ([-stringByPaddingToLength:withString:startingAtIndex:]), and
        ([-stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:])
        Tidied a couple of extension method names for consistency and
        documented several methods.

2002-08-29  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Additions/GSXML.m: Get libxml to put filename in error
        messages when it is available.

2002-08-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Unicode.m: Rewritten the way that iconv is used to decide
        upon the available encodings ... lazy evaluation so that we don't
        try to lookup an encoding until we have to.  This should improve
        process startup time (especially in gdb) since the iconv operations
        seem to be very slow.

2002-08-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/Additions/GSXML.m: Integrated GSXPath code by Nicola Pero
        provides an API to use the xpath support built into libxml from
        version 2.3 onwards.
        * Source/NSThread.m: Implement new priority methods.
        * Source/NSObject.m: Raise exception when passed null selector.

2002-08-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: ([-writeToFile:atomically:]) Removed bogus line
        which deleted files when it shouldn't.
        Added new MacOS-X methods supporting NSData objects where the bytes
        are not owned by the data object.  Removed GNUstep extension which
        provided this functionality before.
        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m: Use distributed lock to ensure that there
        is no possible window when the defaults file is invalid ... not all
        systems guarantee that the rename() system call is atomic.
        * Source/NSArray.m: New MacOS-X methods ([-initWithArray:copyItems:])
        ([-exchangeObjectAtIndex:withObjectAtIndex:])
        * Source/NSTimer.m: Update for compatibility with latest MacOS-X
        * Source/NSObject.m: New ([+isSubclassOfClass:]) and perform
        cancellation from MacOS-X
        * Source/NSRunloop.m: New perform cancellation method from MacOS-X
        proofreading help/fixes from David Ayers.
 
2002-08-25  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/WindowsFileHandle.m: Removed ... no longer used.
        * Source/GSHTTPURLHandle.m: Don't use getpid() ... not portable.
        * Tools/gdomap.c: Don't use getuid() under windoze. 

2002-08-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSURL.m: ([-initFileURLWithPath:]) check to see if path is
        a directory and append a trailing slash if necessary.  Remove hack
        to refrain from stripping last patch component in file URLs.

2002-08-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSURL.m: Hacks for compatibility with MacOS-X in returning
        path of a file URL ... the RFC says we should only return a path
        for a generic URL (scheme://user:passwd@host:port/path#frag?query)
        which a file URL certainly isn't.  However, for compatibility we
        now treat a file URL more like a generic one.
        Also when creating absolute file URLs from base plus relative,
        the MacOS-X code doesn't strip the last path component of the
        base URL as it should ... we emulate that too.

2002-08-22  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m: Fix typo ... missing closing brace under
        windoze. Reported by Alex Stockdale.

        Fix for Tom Hageman <th@xs4all.nl>

2002-06-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Tools/AGSParser.m: ([-parseDeclaration:]) Correct wrongly

        * Source/NSURL.m: Fixed one possible nul pointer indirection,
        and added some comments about the internal data structure.

2002-06-05  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSURL.h: Added a couple of ivars and removed
        non-standard methods.
        * Source/NSURL.m: Rewrite everything apart from the code dealing
        with NSURLHandle objects (and change some of that) to conform to
        the documentation (I hope) and to try to match behavior with that
        of MacOS-X.

2002-06-04  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSByteOrder.h: Hack for bug in gcc 3.1

        * Source/NSObject.m: Removed  ([_dealloc]),
        ([-deallocNotificationsActive]), ([setDeallocNotificationsActive:])
        as these methods are no longer necessary now that the dealloc method
        itsself is able to refrain from performing deallocation if if wishes
        (the retain count mechanism can no longer reach a zero retain count).

2002-06-01  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSObject.m: Change NSDecrementExtraRefCountWasZero() to
        refrain from decrementing when the count is zero.  Documented

        * Source/NSMapTable.m:
        * Source/NSObject.m:
        * Source/NSRunLoop.m:
        Applied patches by James Knight, to improve memory efficiency and
        insertion.deletion speed to hash and map tables.  Also fixes for
        some GC problems.
        Fixed minor problem in patch, and added code to call functions to
        clean up after hash and map enumerations.  Modified cleanup function
        to clear enumerator ... for memory release on GC system.
        Rewrote enumeration code so that it maintains the characteristic
        that objects can safely be removed from maps after being enumerated
        (this feature is used in several places).
        *WARNING* This introduces a binary incompatibility in that the size
        of the map table and hash table enumeration types has grown.
        If you have binaries which use the NSEnumerateHashTable() or the
        NSEnumeratemapTable() functions, you need to rebuild them.

2002-05-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/GSMime.h: Tidy up and add convenience methods.
        * Source/Additions/GSMime.m: Tidy up and add convenience methods.
        Added methods to convert content between string and data for ease
        of use from java.  Added support for most character sets handled
        by GNUstep-base.  Improved ContentID generation to be both unlikely
        to recur, and to be guaranteed unique within a process.
        * Source/NSBundle.m: ([+allBundles]) Don't enumeraste if map table
        has not been created yet.
        * Source/NSLog.m: Allow output descriptor to be changed.

        it have been deallocated.  Remove comments warning about original
        memory management scheme.

        * Source/Unicode.m: GSFromUnicode(), GSToUnicode(), bugfix - ensure
        that returned memory is allocated from specified zone, rather than

        Store all dependency information in the .igsdoc file and keep it up
        to date.  Never regenerate a file that doesn't need it.
        Mostly the changes are to cope with the fact that we now have
        common files into which all functions, constants, variables, and
        typedefs within a project are combined.

2002-05-11  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        converting from one string encoding to another.  Make changes to
        handle setting of default C string encoding to be an encoding which
        is incompatible with internal e-bit string objects.
        * Source/NSString.m: ditto
        * Source/Unicode.m: new string encoding conversion functions extended
        with a few new options.  Also fixed some memory allocation bugs to
        cure memory leaks.

        Rewritten low level support for different character encodings ...
        should provide more efficient and maintainable conversion between
        encodings and permit use of wide character encodings and encodings
        with multibyte sequences as the default C string encoding.
        Testing ... minimal ... we could do with decent tests for this stuff.
        So this version must be viewed as possibly very unstable!

        * Source/NSBundle.m: Removed all _releasedBundles machinery.
        Removed custom implementation of -release.  Retain a bundle after
        we load it.  This fixes -bundleForClass: and simplifies

        than [NSBundle method] to invoke a class method, for efficiency.

        * Source/NSBundle.m (objc_executable_location): Compute directly
        from _executable_path - using mainBundle is unsafe.

        Masses of changes to simplify codebase and standardise all maptable
        code.  Hopefully, the new NSMapTable code now conforms to the spec.

2002-01-30  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSRunLoop.h: revert
        * Source/NSRunLoop.m: revert
        Revert to earlier version temporarily, while I try to track down
        an obscure bug causing problems with some DO applications.

Tue Jan 29 13:49:23 2002  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * configure.in: Removed garbage left over - doubled message
        for objc thread flags checking.
        * configure: Regenerated.

Tue Jan 29 10:57:30 2002  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Makefile.postamble (configure): Rule removed.  It was causing
        problems on systems without autoconf.
        (base.make, config.mak): Do not depend on configure.
        
2002-01-29  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSRunLoop.m: Completed re-entrancy fixes in
        (I hope) a reasonably efficient manner.

2002-01-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSRunLoop.h: Removed previously deprecated methods.
        Completely changed ivar layout.
        * Headers/Foundation/NSRunLoop.m: Removed previously deprecated methods.
        Completely changed ivar layout.  Modified most methods to work with
        changed ivar layout.  Now stores per-mode context information in a
        new GSRunLoopCtxt class - one instance for each mode used in each
        runloop instance.  Rewrite select() and poll() based mechanisms
        using the new class - should hopefully be more efficient and fix
        minor and obscure problems with re-entrancy.
        ### WARNING ... radical change ... may be buggy ... WARNING ###

        runloop mode if an exception occurs ... may remove this again if the
        performance is too bad.
        Use initialiser for NSTimer to avoid having to put timers into the
        autorelease pool.
        * Headers/Foundation/NSTimer.h: Expose GNUstep initialiser since
        OpenStep and MacOS-X don't have one.

        spurious linkage and indexing is not done when run on a single file.

Fri Dec 21 13:50:50 2001  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSBundle.m ([+bundleForLibrary:]): New method.

        * Source/NSThread.m (GSRegisterCurrentThread): Use @defs to 
        access protected variables of NSThread otherwise GCC 3.1 refuses to 
        compile it. 
        (GSUnregisterCurrentThread): Idem.

Tue Dec 18 18:02:07 2001  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSObject.m ([+conformsToProtocol:]): Fixed - it was
        checking that the metaclass conforms to the protocol rather than
        the class, which was causing it to fail for protocols implemented
        in categories.

2001-12-18  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        Many source files modified to contain date, version, and title info.

        * Source/GSXML.m: Bugfixes in setting parse behavior ... now turns
        on validation properly.
        * Tools/gsdoc-0_6_7.dtd: added 'scope' to index element and
        added a 'title' type to list files in a project.
        * Tools/AGSHtml.h:
        * Tools/AGSHtml.m: Output tidyups and general format improvements.
        Add links to other documents in project.  Add support for 'index'
        element with both file and project scope.

        listed as source files better .... now looks for them in the
        source directory.  Added automatic generation of an 'index' file
        for a project where the first source file listed in the project
        is not a gsdoc file.

        Fix various bugs exposed by autogsdoc ... mostly cases where there
        is a semicolon after a method name in a method implementation
        (this is illegal, but the gcc compiler currently ignores it).

        Many minor cleanups and bugfixes for autogsdoc.  Alpha-test support
        for building base library documentation using autogsdoc ... lots of

        * Source/GSHTTPURLHandle.m: Remove GSHTPPropertyBodyKey ... make
        the ([writeData:]) method do nothing until the page is reloaded,
        so its behavior is consistent with ([writeProperty:forKey:]) and
        can be used in conjunction with background loading (ie all I/O
        is done during the load).

        is available.  Changed the http url handle support to use this.

2001-12-04  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSValue.m: polish last set of changes -

        for other purposes.

2001-11-09  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSMime.m: modifications made to support HTTP continuation

        * Source/GNUmakefile: install DistributedObjects.h in gnustep/base
        rather than Foundation .... but it's an internal header - should
        it be installed at all?

2001-09-25  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        Modifications to callframe handling to store pointers to data to
        be freed in order to be able to tidy up after an exception ...
        Appears to cure memory leak in ffcall code.
        No fix yest for mframe or ffi code.

        * Headers/gnustep/base/DistributedObjects.h: Adde new DOContext struct.
        Rewrite code for moving data to/from method call stackframes and
        encoding/decoding it.  The functions to encode/decode each data item
        are no longer nested, and pass a context structure around which
        provides for more information to be passed between the various layers
        of the process so that the whole thing is thread-safe and we don't
        get cases where code in one place tries to work with an object that
        was released in another place.
        Tested pretty extensively for libffcall stuff, with the simple test
        programs for maframe, and not at all for libffi.

Tue Jul 17 15:00:52 2001  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Makefile.postamble (after-distclean): Depend on
        remove-header-links; do not remove links here.
        (remove-header-links): New target removing header links; different
        implementation on mingw32 and on non-migw32.  Do not remove
        Source/Foundation.
        (.PHONY): Added, with header-links and remove-header-links.

2001-07-16  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

2001-07-14  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: More function defs.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-load.h (objc_get_symbol_path): Correct
        def to match function decl.
        * Source/NSDistantObject.m (-selectorTypeForProxy:): Declare

        bogus range check (report by Michael Scheibler)
        * Source/NSString.m: ([descriptionWithLocale:...]) as special case

        default values if environment variables are missing.
        Use common code for getting path prefixes and search directories.

2001-07-07  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: readContentsOfFile() hack added to permit reading
        of files like those in the /proc filesystem which don't support
        lengths.
        * Source/NSString.m: ([-initWithFormat:locale:]) use dummy local
        variable to try to get compilation to work on alpha ... untested
        as I don't have an alpha system.

2001-07-02  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: Never init nocopy with null pointer - increase
        chance of double initialisation being detected.

2001-06-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/callframe.m: callframe_do_call_opts(),
        callframe_build_return_opts() fixed memory leaks.
        Performance improvements -
        callframe_from_info() use a single malloc to allocate memory for
        the entire callframe. callframe_free() use a single free()
        * Source/NSConnection.m: Wait only 0.1 millisecond for first try
        checking for events ... CPUs are getting faster.
        * Source/NSTimer.m: Set minimum timer to 0.1 milliseconds ...

2001-06-26  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m (+userLanguages): On MingW systems, check

2001-06-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSSerializer.m: While deserializing, check strings to see
        if they are really unicode, and create cStrings if they are not.
        Minor memory usage optimisation.

2001-06-21  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSConnection.m: Change some deprecated runloop methods for
        standard ones.
        * Source/NSRunLoop.m: ([runMode:beforeDate:]) Check for task
        completion and send out notifications if required.
        * Source/NSTask.m: ([waitUntilExit]) schedule a timer so that the
        run loop waits rather than polling as fast as the CPU allows.

2001-06-20  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSTask.m: handleSignal() ... reset signal handler for
        systems that don't have BSD signal semantics.
        Report by jan trembulak
        * Source/GSString.m: getCString_c(), getCString_u() reverse logic
        of returning remaining range ... report by Michael Scheibler

2001-06-15  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Version: 1.0.2

        * Source/NSuserDefaults.m: Fix +resetUserDefaults to retain the
        NSRegistrationDomain information ... was losing it when this method
        was called in response to the user name being initially set.
        ([-registerDefaults:]) fix for when no dictionary found.
        Use NSLanguages rather than Languages as key for the languages list.
        * Source/NSUser.m: GSSetUserName() ... only reset the user defaults
        if the name is actually changed - and not if it is being initialised.
        When standardUserDefaults are first obtained, the user name should be
        initialised as part of that process anyway.
        * Source/NSFileManager.m: ([-removeFileAtpath:handler:])
        Fix this method so it *doesn't* follow symbolic links.
        This makes it conform to the documentation and prevents
        accidental removal of entire directory hierarchies!

Wed Jun 13 19:43:16 2001  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m
        ([-createSymbolicLinkAtPath:pathContent:]): Fixed - the call to
        symlink was using old path instead of new path and viceversa.
        
2001-06-12  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Documentation/news.texi: Update

        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSArray.gsdoc: Updates (from

        checking for the version, and which version we find.

2001-06-07  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSConnection.m: Control caching of port coders by a simple
        boolean, and disable it by default.

2001-06-07  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.m4: Add special case for cygwin in CON_AUTOLOAD.

2001-06-07  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSAttributedString.m: When caching attribute dictionaries
        we make an immutable copy of the dictionary with shallow copy.

2001-06-06  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        Configuration part of constant string support with gcc-3.0
        * config/config.constant-string-class.m: New config test.
        * configure.in: Added test for -fconstant-string-class option in
        compiler, by compiling and running config.constant-string-class.m.

        NX_CONST_STRING_CPPFLAGS depending on results of this test.
        * base.make.in (CONFIG_SYSTEM_INCL): Added
        NX_CONST_STRING_CPPFLAGS.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/GSConfig.h.in: Renamed NXCONST to
        NX_CONST_STRING_CLASS.
        * configure: Updated.

2001-06-06  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSScanner.m: ([scanHexInt:]) fix for scanning number
        consisting just of a zero.  Reported by Tom Koelman

2001-06-06  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        NXConstantString
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSString.h: new constantStringClass method.
        * Source/GSString.m: new constantStringClass method.
        * Source/NSObject.m: Use NSConstantStringClass.
        * Source/NSScanner.m: Use NSConstantStringClass.
        * Source/NSString.m: implement constantStringClass method.

2001-06-06  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        gcc 3.0 was fixed to compile them again.

2001-06-05  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * GNUmakefile: If GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES is not set, tell the user it
        needs to source GNUstep.sh and then exit with an error.

2001-06-05  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/mframe.m: Disabled inlining of nested functions.  This
        should allow gnustep-base to be compiled using gcc 3.0.

        * Source/NSZone.m: NSZonefromPointer() check for empty zones
        list before locking.
        * Source/NSData.m: more efficient dealloc implementation for
        NSMutableDataMalloc.

2001-06-01  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m
        ([-descriptionWithCalendarFormat:locale:]): Fixed %w (day of the
        week) to output a single digit number rather than a two digit one.

2001-05-31  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSObjCRuntime.h (GSLastErrorStr): Define new
        OS-independant strerror like function.
        * Source/GSFormat.m: Use it.

        Source/NSTask.m, Source/UnixFileHandle.m, Source/WindowsFileHandle.m:
        Likewise.

        OpenStep functions to get class/sel names.
        * Source/NSBundle.m (+initialize): NeXT_RUNTIME method to find
        classes.

2001-05-26  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * Source/NSDebug.m (_NSPrintForDebugger): new function to support print
        object (po) cmd of gdb.

        * configure.in: Check CPP handling of LONG_LONG_MAX
        * Source/GSFormat.m: Undef LONG_LONG_MAX if not handled

        * Source/GSeq.h: Set static selectors to NULL.
        * Source/NSString.m (+initialize): Set selectors here instead.
        * Source/GSString.m (setup): ...And here.

2001-05-22  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>
        * Headers/Foundation/NSSet.h: Added ([-setSet:])
        * Source/GSSet.m: Optimise ([-unionSet:])

        * Source/NSSet.m: Implement ([-setSet:])

2001-05-18  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSDate.m: check for nil dates in some init methods so
        we return nil on initialisation failure rather than raising an
        exception.  I believe that init failures should deallocate their
        objects and return nil.
        * Source/NSArray.m: ([-initWithContentsOfFile:]) include filename in
        NSWarnMLog() message.
        * Source/NSDictionary.m: ([-initWithContentsOfFile:]) use NSWarnMLog

        * Source/NSProxy.m: Modified ([methodSignatureForSelector:]) and
        ([respondsToSelector:]) to work for existing methods and raise
        exception for non-existant methods.  The MacOS-X docs says they raise
        exceptions, but I think it makes sense for them to work for methods
        that are actually implemented in the proxy.

2001-05-11  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSArchiver.m ([NSArchiver -encodeValueOfObjCType:at:]): Use

        Be lenient about decoding [un]signed chars.
        * Source/NSUnarchiver.m: Likewise.
        * Source/GSTemplateValue.m (-encodeWithCoder:): Use signed char to
        encode/decode type info.
        * Source/GSValue.m: Likewise.
        * Source/NSConcreteNumber.m: Likewise.
        * Source/NSNumber.m: Likewise.
        * Source/NSValue.m: Likewise.

2001-05-10  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSConnection.m: Use respondsToSelector rather than respondsTo
        * Source/NSRunLoop.m: ditto ... and tidy up categories to avoid
        compiler warnings.
        * Source/NSAutoreleasePool.m: Add ([+freeCache]) method to clear out
        the cache of pools in the current thread.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSAutoreleasePool.gsdoc: basic class
        documentation inlcuding normal GNUstep extensions.

2001-05-08  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Tools/gdomap.c: Fixes to last modifications - provided by
        Chris B Vetter.
        * Source/NSString.m: Fix memory allocation of a unichar buffer to
        correct size.
        * Source/NSPipe.m: Log an error if we can't open a new pipe.
        * Source/NSTask.m: Slight tidyup

2001-05-04  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSObject.m (GSGetValue): Call handleQueryWithUnboundKey:
        rather than handleTakeValue:forUnboundKey: when no property
        binding is found.

2001-05-04  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * configure.in: Abort if GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is empty, printing a
        message saying that you must run the GNUstep configuration script
        before configuring the base library.
        * configure: Regenerated.

2001-05-04  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Add arglist_h def. Add
        encoding functions defs.
        * Source/mframe.m: Include stdio and ctype.
        * Source/mframe/mframe.foot (mframe_arg_addr): Use marg_getRef if
        NeXT_RUNTIME.

2001-05-04  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSDate.m: GSTimeNow() remove volatile typespec and move
        initialisation of interval in the hope of fixing a problem with
        float operations.  In any case, the code is tidier.
        * Tools/gdomap.c: If started as root, try to become user nobody
        before resorting to uid -2 (like NFS).

2001-05-03  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Don't use -lobjc with NeXT_RUNTIME. Check for -lm.

        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Add sel_register_name
        * Source/behavior.m: Add define hacks for Darwin.

        * Source/NSObject: ([+initialize]) Move GSSetLocale() after platform
        specific code with conditionally compiled variable declarations.
        Should make this work on BSD and MINGW again.

2001-05-02  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * Source/NSObject.m ([NSObject +initialize]): fixed a FreeBSD specific
        code bug introduced by the call of GSSetLocaleC().

Wed May  2 13:19:13 2001  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/UnixFileHandle.m (id): Redefine `id' when including
        openssl header files to avoid syntax errors from 3.x serie gcc
        compilers.

2001-05-02  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSTimeZone: ([-initWithName:]) fix for trivial locking bug.

2001-04-30  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/behavior.m: Rewrite to work with NeXT runtime.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Add some extra translations.

2001-04-30  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: parseQuotedString() handle \U escape sequences
        of eight digit hex encoded unicode values.
        ([descriptionWithLocale:indent:to@]) handle unicode strings by using
        \U escape sequences in output C string.

2001-04-28  Fred Kiefer <FredKiefer@gmx.de>

        * Source/NSString.m: 
        Corrected bug in last optimization for the parsing of property
        list. Now the bitmap representation is retained not the
        characterset itself. This did cause undeterministic problems when
        reading in the Info.plist.

2001-04-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSLog.m: Use RETAIN/RELEASE
        * Source/GSLocale.m: Set up NSDecimalSeparator and NSThousandsSeparator
        from locale if possible.  Fix bug dereferencing nil pointer.
        * Source/GSFormat.m: Hack to rewrite output from sprintf of floats and
        doubles to use the value in NSDecimalSeparator.

2001-04-27  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSString.m: Minor optimization for parsing property
        lists: cache the bitmap representation of hexdigit, quotable and
        whitespace character sets, and use it directly to determine
        whether a character is member or not of these sets.
        
2001-04-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: ([+initialize]) protect with flag so it is safe
        to call this method more than once.
        * Source/externs.m: GSBuildStrings() call +initialize method for
        NSString to ensure that the class is properly initialised even if
        this function has been called from NSObjects +initialize, which was
        in turn called in preparation for NSString initialisation!

2001-04-25  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Much simplified NeXT checks. Just use LIBRARY_COMBO
        to check runtime.
        * Source/o_vscanf.c: Remove objc-gnu2next.h

2001-04-25  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/GSXML.h: Many changes to restore encapsulation
        of libxml previously broken by someone...  Partly as a matter of
        good OO programming practice, partly so that the library can be
        used effectively from Java (via JIGS).
        Moved libxml header includes out of this file.
        Removed typedefs for libxml constants and changed 'type' methods
        to return 'int'.
        Added class methods for mapping between integer type values
        and constant string type values.
        Added a typeDescription method to GSXMLAttribute for consistency.
        * Source/GSXML.m: include required headers and update to implement
        changes in API.  Also fixed bug in implementation of typeDescription
        method for GSXMLNamespace.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSXMLNode.gsdoc: Updated to reflect current API
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSXMLNamespace.gsdoc: ditto
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSXMLAttribute.gsdoc: ditto

2001-04-25  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * base.make.in: (GNUSTEP_BASE_VERSION),
        (GNUSTEP_BASE_MAJOR_VERSION), (GNUSTEP_BASE_MINOR_VERSION),
        (GNUSTEP_BASE_SUBMINOR_VERSION): New variables providing the
        gnustep-base version.
        
2001-04-24  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Remove TypedStream defs

2001-04-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSObject.m: Fixes for string capitalisation in
        key-value methods.

2001-04-23  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Simplify NeXT checks.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSLock.h: Fix NeXT_RUNTIME typo.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Change *_EXPORT to extern
        * Source/o_vscanf.c: include objc-gnu2next.h
        * Source/NSConnection.m: Fix test for NeXT_RUNTIME define.
        * Source/NSDistantObject.m: Likewise.
        * Source/callframe.m: Likewise.
        * Source/cifframe.m: Likewise.
        * Source/mframe.m: Likewise.

2001-04-24   Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Testing/benchmark.m (bench_object): Use a choice of the 10 more
        used classes when benchmarking class method invocation, rather
        than always using `NSObject'.  Added bench for NSClassFromString.

2001-04-23  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/GSValue.m ([-getValue:]): Fixed typo - was raising
        exception on non-NULL buffer rather than NULL.

2001-04-23  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSBundle.m ([+initialize]): Fixed segmentation fault when
        NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains returns an empty array.  This
        used to appear when GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT was unset.
        * Source/NSUser.m (NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains): Read
        GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT, GNUSTEP_LOCAL_ROOT, GNUSTEP_NETWORK_ROOT and
        GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT only once, then cache them.  Do not crash if
        some of them are nil.  If GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT is nil, fprintf a
        log message, and try using /usr/GNUstep/System.  Use new ADD_PATH
        macro to simplify code.  Autorelease returned array which was
        previously leaked.

2001-04-22  Georg Fleischmann

        * Source/GSAttributedString.m:
        ([replaceCharactersInRange:withString:])
        recalculate effective range after removing attributes.

2001-04-23  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSLocale.m: Only call setlocale() in GSSetLocaleC()
        * Source/NSObject.m: ([+initialize]) call GSSetLocaleC() after other
        initialisation, to try to ensure that locale stuff is set up early
        before any attempt is made to use locale dependent code.
        * Source/NSString.m: ([-stringByExpandingTildeInPath:]) fix suggested
        by David Wetzel.
        * Source/GSValue.m: Fix abort when initialising value with illegal
        type.  Also fix all other uses of objc_sizeof_type(), add some checks
        to conform to documentation, and some optimisations.

2001-04-22  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Testing/benchmark.m: Modified messages to give a better idea of
        the order of magnitudes involved; added benchmarks for
        retain/release, autorelease/retain and locking/unlocking.

2001-04-21  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSString.m ([-fileSystemRepresentation]): Cache the
        default file manager.
        
2001-04-21  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * config/config.proccmd.c: New test for behavior of /proc cmdline
        * acconfig.h: New CMDLINE_TERMINATED constant
        * configure.in: Use test to set CMDLINE_TERMINATED
        * configure: regenerated
        * Headers/Foundation/config.h.in: regenerated
        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m : ([+load]) modified to use CMDLINE_TERMINATED
        to decide how to use /proc/$$/cmdline when determining process args.
        Should now work 100% on all linux versions I hope.

2001-04-20  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m ([NSMutableDataMalloc
        -replaceBytesInRange:withBytes:]): Check length, not capacity!
        Conform to documentation, and avoid possibility of 'hole' in data.
        * Source/NSInvocation.m: _get_arg() indirection fix suggested by
        Michael Scheibler.

2001-04-20  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m (NSDirectoryEnumerator): Rewritten to be
        faster.  ([NSFileManager -directoryContentsAtPath:]),
        ([NSFileManager -subpathsAtPath:]): Use the new init method for
        NSDirectoryEnumerator.  ([NSFileManager
        -contentsEqualAtPath:andPath:]): Spare some method calls.
        ([NSFileManager -fileSystemRepresentationWithPath:]): Cleaned
        preprocessor directives.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSFileManager.h (NSDirectoryEnumerator):
        Changed ivars in sync.
        
2001-04-19  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSFunctions.gsdoc: Documented
        GSDebugAllocation* functions.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSRecursiveLock.gsdoc: Fixed syntax error.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/*.html: Regenerated.
        
2001-04-19  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        To help with debugging memory leaks, you can now ask to the
        library to track all allocated instances of a certain class.
        * Source/NSDebug.m (table_entry): Added fields to allow recording
        the list of allocated instances if required.
        (GSDebugAllocationActiveRecordingObjects): New function.  
        (GSDebugAllocationAdd): Modified to take an additional argument -
        the object being allocated -, and to record it in the list of
        instances for the class if recording instances of that class has
        been activated.
        (GSDebugAllocationRemote): Add a similar additional argument;
        remove the object from the list of instances if recording
        instances is activated.
        (GSDebugAllocationListRecordedObjects): New function.
        * Source/NSObject.m: Updated all occurrences of
        GSDebugAllocationAdd and GSDebugAllocationRemove to pass the 
        allocated/removed object as well.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSDebug.h: Updated.

2001-04-19  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/GSTcpPort.m ([GSTcpPort -dealloc]): Fixed memory leak:
        release address string.

2001-04-19  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSTask.m: Tidied code a little, added safety checks for
        usePseudoTerminal method.
        * Source/NSData.m: ([writeToFile:atomically:]) create new files
        with permission 0644 modified by umask.
        Init tmppath for MINGW.
        * Tools/gsdoc.m: Use memory management macros and attempt to get
        back to something like conformance with coding standards.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSTask.gsdoc: documentation fleshed out.

2001-04-16  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * aclocal.m4: Detect the xm2-config script.

2001-04-14  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * configure.in: fixed fake main for 'new' FreeBSD targets.

2001-04-13  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSFFCallInvocation.m (GSInvocationCallback): Generate
        an exception for an invalid selector.

2001-04-12  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSObjCRuntime: Revert to using class_pointer.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Redefine class_pointer.

2001-04-12  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m ([load]): Fixed single line change somehow
        missed from last patch.

2001-04-12  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSLock.h: Include thrmach.h if NeXT_RUNTIME.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSThread.h: Likewise.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSObjCRuntime: Include objc-gnu2next.h if
        NeXT_RUNTIME, use common objc functions for compatibility.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-gnu2next.h: Update, simplify.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/thr-mach.h: New file
        * Source/thr-mach.m: New file
        * Source/GNUmakefile: Update to conditionally compile NeXT files

        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSRecursiveLock.gsdoc: Update.

2001-04-12  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: For efficiency, use _DefaultStringEncoding
        throughout, rather than calling +defaultCStringEncoding.  This is
        safe since the documentation explicitly states that the encoding
        cannot be changed programmatically ... so we don't have to worry
        about someone adding a category to change that.
        When converting data to/from strings, optimise to simple cString
        stuff if the specified encoding is the defautl encoding.
        Tidied some stuff to conform better to coding standards.
        * Source/Unicode.m GetDefEncoding(): prohibit UTF8 from being the
        default cString encoding ... the default cString encoding must
        consist of 7 or 8 bit characters, and must contain ASCII as a
        subset.  We really should think of a generalised test for that.
        Use GetDefEncoding() throughout rather than defaultCStringEncoding.
        * Source/GSString.m: Use GetDefEncoding() to get c string encoding.

2001-04-11  Nicola Pero  <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk>
        
        * Source/NSString.m ([-initWithData:encoding:]): When working with
        a generic but non-unicode encoding, do not treat a single
        character string with no null terminator as an empty string.  This
        should fix passing single character strings over DO.
        * Source/NSThread.m ([+registerCurrentThread]),
        ([+unregisterCurrentThread]): Removed.

2001-04-11  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSFFCallInvocation.m: bugfix encoding ... pass correct
        method type information so that the other end knows whether this
        is a oneway message or not.  Corrects major memory leak.
        * Source/NSConnection.m: bugfix to handle situations where the
        other end sends a response and we are not expecting it.  Also
        added various bits of debugging and ensured that all NSPortCoder
        objects are cached.

2001-04-10  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/preface.h.in: Correct NeXT_RUNTIME name

        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSLock.h: Documented.

2001-04-10  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSTask.m: Bugfix to send out task termination notification
        and clean up correctly when a task is killed by a signal rather than
        exiting cleanly.

2001-04-09  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * 1.0 branch merged into main.

2001-04-06  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/NSString.m (pathSepMember): Made trivial and inlined.
        ([-stringsByAppendingPaths:]): Count the array only once, not for
        any loop in the cycle.
        
2001-04-05  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSUser.m: NSTemporaryDirectory() rewrite for improved
        security and reliability.  Expect MINGW update soon.

2001-04-02  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSUser.m: Tidied some stuff to conform to coding standards.
        Added FIXME where unsure of code.  Tidied code to get name of user.
        * configure.in: Added checks for a few functions needed to get user.

2001-03-37  Jonathan Gapen  <jagapen@home.com>

        * Source/NSString.m: New private function to compute the scalar value
        of a high-low surrogate pair.  New surrogate range class variables.
        Optimize ([-hasPrefix]) and ([-hasSuffix]) by using NSAnchoredSearch.
        Add UTF-8 code to ([-dataUsingEncoding:allowLossyConversion:]).

2001-03-26  Jonathan Gapen  <jagapen@home.com>

        * Source/Makefile.preamble: No need to define HAVE_LIBXML here.
        * Source/NSBundle.m: ([+initialize]) and ([+pathForGNUstepResource:
        ofType:inDirectory:]) now use NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains()
        to find directories, rather than use env vars directly.
        * Source/NSCharacterSet.m: Ditto for ([_-bitmapForSet:]).
        * Source/NSDictionary.m: Make NSLog() include the filename
        in ([-initWithContentsOfFile:]).
        * Source/NSUser.m: Re-implement NSStandardApplicationPaths() and
        NSStandardLibraryPaths() with NSSearchPathsForDirectoriesInDomains().
        In latter function, support $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Developer/Demos.

2001-03-21  Jonathan Gapen  <jagapen@home.com>

        * config/nextcc.m4, config/objc-con-autoload.m4, config/procfs.m4,
        config/objc-sys-dynamic.m4, config/procfs-exe-link.m4: Autoconf
        macros used by configure.in.

2001-04-08  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Version: 1.0.0
        * NEWS: Regenerated.

        * Source/NSLock.m (-tryLock): Return NO if our thread has
        already has the lock (like OpenStep).
        (-lockBeforeDate:): block until date if our thread already has 
        the lock (like OpenStep).

        * Source/NSData.m ([NSMutableDataMalloc
        -replaceBytesInRange:withBytes:]): Check capacity, not length.

2001-04-04  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * config.guess: Update to latest version
        * config.sub: Likewise.

2001-04-01 2001  Nicola Pero  <n.pero@mi.flashnet.it>

        * Source/GSValue.m ([-description]): Bug fix - was crashing upon
        using %@ instead of %s for a char *.

2001-03-31  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Documentation/announce.texi: Update.
        * Documentation/install.texi: Likewise.

        * Testing/Makefile.preamble: Set BUNDLE_LIBS on mingw and cygwin.
        * Testing/nsbundle.m: add NSProcessInfo's initializeWithArguments:...

2001-03-28  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m: ([+load]) Fix in parsing of command line
        arguments from /proc filesystem.  On newer kernels the command line
        arguments are terminated by a nul, on older systems they are separated
        by a nul.  The old code would add an extra (empty) argument to all
        processes on newer kernels.  The new code will lose a trailing empty
        argument on older kernels :-(  I view it as the lesser of two evils
        since the extra empty arg confuses/breaks a lot of tools.

2001-03-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m: Fix file copying for MINGW by using
        windows native copy function - fix by Michael Scheibler.
        Also tidied to conform to coding standards, and fixed to use
        O_BINARY where the system defines it.

2001-03-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSObject.h: GS_EXPORT updates for MINGW
        * Headers/Foundation/NSObCRuntime.h: ditto
        * Headers/Foundation/NSRange.h: ditto
        * Source/NSRange.m: ditto
        Fixes suggested by Michael Scheibler
        
2001-03-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: ([-replaceBytesInRange:withBytes:]) bugfix ...
        revert to check using '>' rather than '>=' to conform to documentation
        and to be consistent with use of ranges in general.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSMutableData.gsdoc: documented primitive methods.
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSFunctions.gsdoc: Some documentation for NSRange
        added.

2001-03-23  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: ([-replaceBytesInRange:withBytes:]) Check location
        >= size.

2001-03-23  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: ([-replaceBytesInRange:withBytes:]) bugfix ...
        extend data if range has location in data, but extent beyond data.

2001-03-23  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSSerializer.m (serializeToInfo): Use memcpy to serialize
        strings on machines that need word alignment.
        * Source/NSTimeZone.m (decode): For decoding, likewise.

        * Testing/thread-except.m: Use autorelease pools.

2001-03-23  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSFileManager.m: MINGW fixes by Michael Scheibler.
        ([_attributesAtPath:traverseLink:forCopy:]) fix 'cos windows lacks
        symbolic links.  ([-changeFileAttributes:atPath:]) workaround for
        windows directories not having modification times.
        ([-fileSystemAttributesAtPath:]) fix for large volumes (matching
        change for unix too ... use unsigned long long).

2001-03-23  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSObject.m: ([-methodSignatureForSelector:]) try to get a
        valid method signature any way we can ... check for a valid method
        first, use selector types next.  Avoid crash when given nul selector
        as an argument.
        * Source/NSMethodSignature.m: ([+signatureWithObjCTypes:]) don't
        crash when given nul pointer as argument.

2001-03-19  Jonathan Gapen  <jagapen@home.com>

        * Source/NSString.m: Implement ([-localizedStringWithFormat:]).
        Fix ([-localizedCompare:]) and ([-localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare:]).
        (They will work when ([-compare:options:range:locale:]) works.)
        Fix ([-initWithContentsOfFile:]) and ([-initWithContentsOfURL:]) so
        that they deal with 1 byte of data, and clarify Unicode BOM test with
        new class variables byteOrderMark and byteOrderMarkSwapped.
        In ([-initWithData:encoding:]) and ([-initWithCoder:]), don't treat
        the default C string encoding the same as ASCII.  GCC 3.0 supports
        UTF-8 as a C string encoding, so this behavior is undesirable.

        Documentation/Developer/Base/Reference.

2000-11-06 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: handle_printf_atsign() - use lossyCString to
        get string to print.  This is a temporary *HACK* - we need a proper
        unicode supporting initWithFormat:
        * Source/GSString.m: ([GSMutableString substringWithRange:]) fix to
        allocate inline string classes for substrings.

2000-11-04 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m ([NSCalendarDate -initWithString:
        calendarFormat:locale:]): try getting timezone by name before
        attempting by abbreviation - thus preserving exact name isf possible.

2000-11-03  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m ([NSCalendarDate -initWithString:

                propertiesAsDictionaryWithKeyTransformationSel:
        * Source/GSXML.m: added GSXMLNode 
                propertiesAsDictionaryWithKeyTransformationSel:

2000-11-01 Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m: Fixed uninitialised variable bug.
        * Source/NSString.m: Fixed error in xml property list parsing
        * Source/GSXML.m: Various SAX things to use default implementation.

2000-10-31  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: Implemented
        ([-initWithCharactersNoCopy:length:freeWhenDone:]) and
        ([-initWithCStringNoCopy:length:freeWhenDone:]) for NSMutableString.
        ([-initWithCStringNoCopy:length:freeWhenDone:]) for NSString.

2000-10-31  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        Loads of files modified, fast.x removed.
        Found it unexpectedly easy to tidy up so that all functions for
        accessing the runtime are now in NSObjCRuntime.h.
        Now all :-) we need are Apple runtime implementations, configuration
        auto-detect for the apple runtime, and loads of updating of any
        bits of code that call the runtime directly.

2000-10-31  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSGString.h:
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSGCString.h:

        * Source/NSSerializer.m:
        * Source/NSSet.m:
        * Source/NSUnarchiver.m:
        Changed calls to 'fastClass()' to use 'GSObjCClassOfObject()' and
        added that to NSObjCRuntime.h.  Removed central class and
        implementation caching from NSObject.m and fast.x since it was not
        being effectively used.  New intention to do removal of fast.x and
        add similar functionality to NSObjCRuntime.h - intention being to
        combine functionality of fast access to the runtime, and hiding both
        GNU and Apple runtime behind a single interface.

2000-10-30  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSURLHandle.m: Wrap all locking with exception handlers to
        ensure that locks are released.

        Updated to move static SEL variable initialisation to +initialize
        methods so that it should (I think) work with the Apple runtime.

2000-10-29  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Check for langinfo.
        * Source/GSLocale.m (GSDomainFromDefaultLocale): Return nil
        dict if langinfo info not available.

        * acconfig.h: Add HAVE_DLADDR
        * Headers/gnustep/base/config.h.in: Regenerate.
        * Source/simple-load.h (__objc_dynamic_get_symbol_path): Return
        nil if not HAVE_DLADDR.

2000-10-29  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSString.m: New inline string classes added to avoid calls
        to malloc in some cases.  Changed all deallocation methods to call
        NSDeallocateObject() directy for efficiency.
        * Source/NSString.m: Use new inline string classes for creation of
        strings where we know the length of the data in advaance.

2000-10-28  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSBundle.h: added ivar.
        * Source/NSBundle.m ([NSBundle +_addFrameworkFromClass:]): new private
        method to parse NSFramework_* classes.
        (_bundle_load_callback): added framework support. Wrap classes in a
        NSValue to avoid implicit initialization.
        ([NSBundle +allBundles]): added framework support.
        ([NSBundle +allFrameworks]): implemented.
        ([NSBundle +bundleForClass:]): get classes from NSValue object.
        ([NSBundle -classNamed:]): likewise.

        * Headers/gnustep/base/objc-load.h (LINKER_GETSYMBOL): new define.
        * Source/objc-load.m (objc_get_symbol_path): get lib path of a Class
        or Category.
        * Source/simple-load.h (__objc_dynamic_get_symbol_path): indentifies
        lib path of a symbol.
        * Source/dld-load.h (__objc_dynamic_get_symbol_path): not supported.
        * Source/hpux-load.h (__objc_dynamic_get_symbol_path): not implemented.

        * Source/mframe/mframe.foot (mframe_get_arg): typ declaration fix.
        (mframe_set_arg): idem

        * Headers/gnustep/base/config.h.in: added HAVE_DLADDR
        * aclocal.m4 (OBJC_SYS_DYNAMIC_LINKER): test for dladdr()
        * configure.in: added --with-libxml-include and --with-libxml-library,
        added -I/usr/local/include and -L/usr/local/lib for FreeBSD.

2000-10-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSObject.m: Reverted last change -
        +new has to do alloc, init or break classes that expect to use their
        own allocation mechanisms.  Similarly, +alloc must call the
        ([+allocWithZone:]) method.  We can't make optimisations that
        break with the OpenStep spec and MacOS documentation - they would
        break production code.  Of course, private classes can do this.

2000-10-27  Lyndon Tremblay  <humasect@home.com>

        * Source/NSObject.m ([NSObject +new]): No longer sends 2 messages,
        uses NSAllocateObject().
        ([NSObject +alloc]): Likewise, no message sending within the method.

2000-10-27  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSURLHandle.m: Make class registration thread safe.
        Tidy initialisation to use designated initialiser.

2000-10-27  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Added localization support
        * configure.in: Look for locale.h
        * Resources: New directory, files for languages.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSUserDefaults.h: Add missing localization
        keys.
        * Source/GSLocale.m: New functions for dealing with locales.
        * Source/NSUserDefaults.m (-_unlocalizedDefaults): New method.
        (-sharedUserDefaults): Set up Language domain. 
        (-userLanguages): Create our own defaults, if necessary, to avoid
        recursion with sharedUserDefaults.
        (__createStandardSearchList): Put NSGlobalDomain before Language
        domain to match MacOSX docs (wasn't specified in OpenStep docs).
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSUserDefaults.m: Updated.

        * Tools/locale_alias.m: New test-tool mostly for maintainance use.

2000-10-26  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSData.m: When deserialising selectors, register new
        selectors if they don't already exist - so we can unarchive a
        selector into a program where no objects implements it (we might
        still want to use it over DO or to store in another archive).
        Change suggested by N.Pero.
        * Source/GSMime.m: Mime parser classes partially written.
        * Headers/Foundation/GSMime.h: mime class headers
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSMime.gsdoc: documentation
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSMimeDocument.gsdoc: documentation
        * Documentation/gsdoc/GSMimeParser.gsdoc: documentation
        Various files partially implemented to add MIME parsing support.
        Intended to aid implementation of HTTP version of NSURLHandle.

2000-10-24  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m (-initWithString:calendarFormat:locale:): 
        Set format if nil.
        (-addYear:month:day:hour:minute:second:): Use signed ints.

2000-10-24  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSString.m: Implement ([-substringWithRange:]) and
        ([-substringFromRange:]) equally.  The 'from' method is the
        'official OpenStep' one, the 'with' method is a MacOS-X compatibility
        addition.
        * Source/NSAttributedString.m: Added ([-attributedSubstringWithRange:])
        in the expectation that Apple will rename the method and remove
        ([-attributedSubstringFromRange:])
        * Source/NSScanner.m: Use substringWithRange.
        * Source/NSProxy.m: Implement ([-forward::]) to use
        ([-forwardInvocation:]).  Implement ([-conformsToProtocol:]) to raise
        exception, Implement ([-respondsToSelector:]) to raise exception.
        * Source/NSDistantObject.m: Implement ([-conformsToProtocol:]) to
        forward to remote.  Implement ([-respondsToSelector:]) to forward.

2000-10-24  Fred Kiefer <FredKiefer@gmx.de>

        * Source/NSAttributedString.m: Added begin/endEditing to all
        complex methods on NSMutableAttributedString as necessary for
        NSTextStorage. 
        * Source/GSString.m: Changed all substringFromRange: to
        substringWithRange: as this is the basic method.

2000-10-23  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: ([-fastestEncoding]), ([-smallestEncoding])
        implemented to return NSUnicodeStringEncoding.  Use new string
        classes more effectively - let GSString turn itsself into either
        GSCString or GSUstring when initialised.
        Merged in code from propList.h
        * Source/GSString.m: ([-dataUsingEncoding:allowLossyConversion:])
        bugfixes for cString reported by Freed Kiefer
        Removed 'ascii' flag - more trouble than a minor optimisation is
        worth.
        Fixed transmute() to be careful about freeing old string.
        * Source/Unicode.m: encode_ustrtostr_strict() return 0 on failure.

2000-10-21  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSNull.h: New placeholder class.
        * Source/NSNull.m: New placeholder class.

        * Documentation/gsdoc/GNUmakefile: Build NSNull documentation
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSNull.gsdoc: NSNull documentation

2000-10-20  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSString.m: ([-initWithCharacters:length:]) use
        ([-initWithCStringNoCopy:length:freeWhenDone:]) if possible.
        * Source/GSString.m: Much tidying up.  Added two new concrete
        classes for substrings.
        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m: ([-initWithString:calendarFormat:locale:])
        avoid any attempt to read beyond the supplied string.

2000-10-16  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        Attempts to make sure that when members of a class cluster are encoded
        (either for archiving or for sending over DO), they are encoded as
        the abstract class hiding the other classes in the cluster - this
        should mean that (in future) changes in the private concrete classes
        used should not effect existing archives and running DO applications.
        * Source/NSDate.m: Implement -classForCoder to encode as the
        abstract class.  Implement ([-encodeWithCoder:]) and ([-initWithCoder:])
        in abstract class.
        * Source/NSDictionary.m: Implement -classForCoder to encode as the
        abstract class.  Implement ([-encodeWithCoder:]) and ([-initWithCoder:])
        in abstract class.
        * Source/NSArray.m: Implement -classForCoder to encode as the abstract
        class.
        * Source/NSAttributedString.m: Implement -classForCoder to encode as
        the abstract class. Implement ([-encodeWithCoder:]) and
        ([-initWithCoder:]) in abstract class.
        * Source/NSGAttributedString.m: Remove coding/encoding stuff - now done
        in abstract class.
        * Source/NSNumber.m: Implement -classForCoder to encode numbers as the
        abstract class.
        Modified ([-encodeWithCoder:]) and ([-initWithCoder:]) to encode objc
        type when encoding as abstract class.
        * Source/NSConcreteNumber.m: Modified encoding method to mirror
        abstract class method.  Old ([-initWithCoder:]) method retained to
        decode old format records from archives.
 
2000-10-11  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSObject.m (+initialize): Initialize Window sockets
        on MINGW.
        * Source/libgnustep-base-entry.m (gnustep_base_socket_init):
        New function.

2000-10-10  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/GSString.m: fillHole() fixed error in copying bytes.

2000-10-09  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        * Source/NSGAttributedString.m: ([-setAttributes:range:])
        Fixed obscure bug - use ASSIGNCOPY rather than ASSIGN to prevent
        mutable dictionaries being placed in attributed string.

2000-10-09  Richard Frith-Macdonald <rfm@gnu.org>

        Major rewrite of NSString.
        There was a fundamental architectural problem in the old
        implementation ...  if you had an NSGMutableCString object,
        and used any method that appends (or replaces) characters in
        that string, there was a problem in that the characters being
        added may not be representable in the default character set.

        This means that we needed the concrete mutable strring class to
        be able to mutate itsself from an 8-bit string to a 16-bit string
        when necessary (we can't just allocate a new object, because we
        have no way of returning it to the caller).

        We could not handle this simply by changing the class pointer in
        the instance (and reallocating and modifying the memory actually
        storing the characters of course).  The problem with this is that
        the method implementations of the object may have been cached in
        the user code (quite likely if you want high performance from a
        mutable string) - and subsequent use of those cached implementations
        would still try to treat the contents of the string as 8-bit characters.

        The solution adopted was to make the standard mutable string class
        contain a flag to adjust its behavior so that each method treats
        the char data as either 8 or 16 bit.
        This makes for ugly code, partially tidied by use of inline functions.

        For most of the methods implemented for the constant strings
        (rather than being inherited from the abstract class) we now
        have two inline functions for 8-bit and 16-bit implementations.
        The GSUString and GSCString objects have method implementations
        that simply called the appropriate function.  The GSMString
        implementation of each method tests the flag and calls the
        appropriate inline function.

        * Headers/gnustep/base/NSString.h: Remove NSGCString, NSGString,
        NSGMutableCStrng and NSGMutableString.  Add GSString interface and
        new version of NXConstantString interface.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/fast.x: Remove string caching information.
        * Source/GNUmakefile: Don't build old concrete strings or install

        concrete string classes in archives.
        * Source/externs.m: Modified to use new concrete strings.
        * Source/propList.h: Modified to use new concrete strings.

2000-10-05  Fred Kiefer <FredKiefer@gmx.de>

        * Source/Unicode.m: 
        Changed available encodings if HAVE_ICONV is defined. This is
        still a static definition.
        
2000-10-02  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * configure.in: Update required libxml version to 2.2.3

2000-09-30  Mirko Viviani  <mirko.viviani@rccr.cremona.it>

        * Source/NSDistantObject.m ([GSDistantObjectPlaceHolder
        +respondsToSelector:]): implemented.
        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m ([NSProcessInfo +load]): bug fix for FreeBSD.

        * Source/GSTcpPort.m: When given bad data on a socket, log a message
        and invalidate the socket handle rather than raising an exception

        order to regain performance lost by adding code to ensure that reply
        packets cannot be leaked.  Fixed error in old connection code - due

        connection from the global table on deallocation.
        * Source/NSPortNameServer.m: Fix to avoid errors when given bad
        nameserver IP address info.

        new or the old DO code is to be used.  Change the define and
        rebuild the library if you need the old DO code.
        Advantages of new code -
          MacOS-X compatibly
          Should work between different processor architectures and word sizes
          Might work for inter-thread communication
          Approx 25% faster
          Permit packet authentication/encryption
        Disadvantages -
          not well tested - development version
          removed many old methods.
        * Headers/gnustep/base/GSConnection.h: removed - merged into
        NSConnection.h
        * Headers/gnustep/base/GSPortCoder.h: removed - merged into
        NSPortCoder.h

        default port class
        * Documentation/gsdoc/NSConnection.gsdoc: Added descriptions of
        all the methods in the new implementation.  The class is
        perilously close to being fully documented!
        * Documentation/gsdoc/...: updated all files to use new dtd.

        * Source/TcpPort.m: Removed some unused code.
        * Source/GSTcpPort.m: Added new port implementation - non-functional
        as yet, but it represents quite a bit of work so I thought I'd put

        * Tools/gdomap.c: Reinstated '-p' flag to disable probes and added

        * Version: Update version number
        * Documentation/announce.tmpl.texi: Update
        * Documentation/readme.tmpl.texi: Likewise.

        report and add thread-safety.  Modified by me to automatically use
        locking if necessary, to tidy up, and to fix a couple of bugs in
        lock/unlock sequencing.  All new stuff - but since the previous
        version was completely unusable in a multithreaded environment I
        don't think we are running any risk by adding this here.

Thu Feb 10 15:00:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Changes to fix possible crashes where task completion notifications
        are sent at inappropriate times due to SIGCHLD.

Thu Feb 10  9:34:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Headers/gnustep/base/preface.h.in: Added tests to see if _C_LNG_LNG
        and _C_ULNG_LNG are defined in the objc compiler headers and, if not,
        define them.  Long long support was added in gcc 2.8 (minimum
        compiler version recommended for GNUstep), but the defines were
        missing from the headers :-(
        * Source/NSArchiver.m: Remove conditional compile for long long stuff.
        * Source/NSData.m: ditto
        * Source/NSUnarchiver.m: ditto

        * Source/NSRunLoop.m: ([acceptInputForMode:beforeDate:]) fix handling
        of notifications in idle queue.

        * config.guess: New version
        * config.sub: Likewise.

Tue Feb  8 23:00:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Patch by David Relson <relson@expressgate.net>

2000-01-27  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Tools/gdomap.c (init_iface): Check to see if an
        interface is up (using SIOCGIFFLAGS), and then get the address
        information before checking whether the address is in the AF_INET
        family (patch from Jonathan Gapen <jagapen@whitewater.chem.wisc.edu>).
        
Sun Jan 16  9:10:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Moved objc-load.c to objc-load.m and filnd-exec.c to find-exec.m
        Added logging functions to objc-load.m so that logging can be
        enabled at runtime using --GNU-Debug=NSBundle

Sun Jan  9 15:20:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSGAttributedString.m: ([-attributesAtIndex:effectiveRange:])

        * Source/NSData.m: when serializing selectors, cope with untyped
        selectors instead of crashing.

Wed Jan  5 14:37:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: Changed order of lookup to determine the local
        timezone:
        1. User defaults with key 'Local Time Zone'
        2. GNUSTEP_TZ environment variable
        3. $GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_ROOT/Libraries/Resources/NSTimeZones/localtime
        4. TZ environment variable
        5. Use UTC
        This means that the TZ environment variable can now safely be used for
        non-GNUstep timezones as long as GNUSTEP_TZ is defined (or a localtime)
        file exists.

Wed Jan  5 10:00:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * NSTimeZones/NSTimeZones.tar: Made a revised set of timezones with
        timezone names offset from GMT corresponding to common usage
        (as in OPENSTEP) rather than strict Posix interpretation.
        Also added detailed instructions to the README file and added a
        small makefile to build the abbreviations/regions tools.

Tue Jan  4 22:40:00 2000  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m: ([-yearOfCommonEra]) fix rounding error.

        Fixes suggested by karl@nfox.com
        * Source/propList.h: Bugfix parsing larger lists.
        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m: Avoid use of freopen()
        * Source/GSeq.h: for ranges not found, return NSNotFound as the
        location rather than 0 - for compatibility with Apple.
        * NSDeserializer.m: Return nil if given nil data or an object that
        is not a data object.

1999-12-19  David Lazaro  <khelekir@encomix.es>

        * configure.in (objc_thread_lib): Added support for FreeBSD native
        POSIX threads (from the reentrant C library, libc_r).  Made this the
        first option to test as this is the best working one.
        * configure: New build to support the above mentioned.

Fri Dec 17 17:55:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Fix error in last change.

Fri Dec 17  7:03:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSGAttributedString.m: Patch (slightly modified) by Adam Fedor
        to permit setting attributes on an empty string (as a no-op).

Wed Dec 15 18:50:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSHost.m: Update again - record current host name for duration
        of process and cache hosts keyed on the name under which they were
        created.  This can result in multiple cache entries for the same host,
        but this seems to be necessary as DNS name <--> address mappings can
        be asymmetric.
        Thanks to dan@services.iiruc.ro for pointing this out.

Wed Dec 15 17:30:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/Foundation/NSObject.h: dealloc notification stuff for Helge

Wed Dec 15  2:18:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/UnixFileHandle.m: Chck to see if we are given a bad address.
        * Source/NSHost.m: major rewrite

Tue Dec 14  8:40:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: ([+getTimeZoneFile:]) Removed misleading comment
        and hack.
        ([+timeZoneWithName:]) Fixed bug in loading timezone data file (unusual
        formats could cause a crash).
        * Source/NSScanner.m: ([-initWithString:]) fix to handle being passed
        a nil string (use an empty string and log an error).
        * NSTimeZones/NSTimeZones.tar: updated to latest info and made sure
        files are in the correct place.

Mon Dec 13 13:31:00 1999  Chris Ball <cball@fmco.com>

        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: Replaced the original, correct comment and
                removed Richard's replacement incorrect comment.

Fri Dec  9 17:00:00 1999  Chris Ball <cball@fmco.com>

        Sorry, I did a commit one directory to deep.
        * Source/NSArray.m: NSMutableArray's compared against a garbage pointer
                on removal.  This causes real problems on SMP machines.
        * Source/NSGarray.m
        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m: DateByAddingYears lost timeZone info.
                InitWithString didn't deal with adjacent format specifiers.
        * Source/NSDate.m: addTimeInterval messed up timeZone if used with
                calendarDate
        * Source/NSLock.m: Trylock was broken and lockBeforeDate was 
                unimplemented
        * Source/NSObject.m: The release code was broken for SMP machine use.
        * Source/NSTimeZone.m: The GMT+-** files are in the root directory on
                OpenStep and are in Etc/ on GNUstep so check both.

Mon Dec 13 12:20:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Fixes for cball's changes (who is cball?, and why didn't s/he produce
        a ChangeLog entry or conform to GNU indentation?  It took me hours to
        tidy this up).
        * Source/NSDate.m: ([NSGDate -addTimeInterval:]) removed bogus
        implementation of method (inherits from NSDate).
        * Source/NSCalendarDate.m: Added implementation of ([-addTimeInterval:])
        with specific code for NSCalendarDate.  Reformatted code to GNUstep
        style.
        * Source/NSGArray.m: ([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:]) and
        ([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:inRange:]) reverted to correct code.
        ([-removeObject:]) and ([-removeObjectIdenticalTo:inRange:]) removed
        changes and added fixes so that methods are safe where multiple objects
        equal to the object to be removed are present in the array.
        * Source/NSArray.m: Similar fixes for object removal.
        * Source/NSObject.m: Rewritten mutex code so that mutexes are not used
        for retain/release unless the app is multi-threaded.

Wed Dec  1 19:36:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSArray.m: When sorting, treat illegal return values from the
        comparator the same way as OPENSTEP does, but log a warning.
        * Source/NSGArray.m: ditto
        * Source/NSDictionary.m ditto

Fri Nov 26 19:46:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSString.h: Tidied and fixed return types for
        for a few methods.
        * Source/NSString.m: ditto.
        * Headers/NSRange.h: Added NSRangeFromString()
        * Source/NSRange.m: Implemented NSRangeFromString()

Sun Nov 21  6:35:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSNotificationQueue.m: Applied patch by Dan Pascu to fix bug
        in removal of notificatiosn from queues.  Also tidied indentation etc
        to conform to GNU standards.
        * Source/UnixFileHandle.m: ([-availableData]) fixed to block when no
        data is availabvle on a comms channel - as per spec.  This bug was
        also reported by Dan <dan@services.iirux.ro>
        * Source/NSHost.m: Use inet_aton() if available.

1999-11-18  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/GNUmakefile: Install unicode headers.
        * Source/Makefile.postamble: Script for doing unicode installation.
        (patches from Christopher Seawood <cls@seawood.org>).

Thu Nov 18 15:23:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Headers/Foundation/NSPage.h: removed
        * Headers/Foundation/NSZone.h: incorporated NSPage.h
        * Source/GNUmakefile: Remove reference to NSPage.h
        * Source/NSZone.m: Remove reference to NSPage.h

Sun Nov  7 14:04:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/o_vscanf.c Reverted to earlier version - the last fix was
        causing distributed objects to fail!  I don't know why, but DO seems
        more important than the bugfix - so, pending a rewrite of DO
        encoding/decoding to remove the dependency on the old stream code,
        we need to leave this as it is.

1999-11-09  Adam Fedor  <fedor@gnu.org>

        * Source/o_vscanf.c (o_vscanf): Don't count '\n' as whitespace.

        * Source/NSGCountedSet.m: ditto
        * Source/NSGDictionary.m: ditto
        * Source/NSGSet.m: ditto

Thu Nov  4 1999  Michael Hanni <mhanni@sprintmail.com>

        * Source/NSObject.m: added FreeBSD specific code in
        initialization so that the FPU is intialized with the correct
        exception flag. This allows NSConnection to work on FreeBSD (gdnc,
        gdomap, gpbs.)

Thu Nov  4 10:52:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

Tue Oct 19 11:28:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSScanner.m: skipToNextField() - cope with a nil set of
        characters to be skipped.

Fri Oct 15 01:28:16 1999  Lyndon Tremblay <humasect@coolmail.com>

        * Source/NSURL.m: (-[scheme]) removed a hopefully accidentally placed
        space character in a call to (-[NSString rangeOfString]).
        
Tue Sep 12 14:00:00 1999  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * Source/NSConnection.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support as it
        provided little performance improvement and was responsible for a few
        bugs I've never been able to track down, and major problems if the maps
        at either end of the link get out of sync (which is unavoidable in some
        rare circumstances).
        * Headers/Foundation/NSConnection.h: Removed cross-reference maps
        * Source/ConnectedCoder.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support
        * Source/NSPortCoder.m: Removed pointer cross-reference support

        * config/config_thread.m: new file
        * configure.in: Update to check to see if obc runtime uses threads
        so that we can include the thread library if necessary - and later
        onbjc tests won't all fail on threaded systems.
        Also - force use of fake-main stuff on bsd systems.
        * Source/NSProcessInfo.m: Remove bsd workaround - didn't work.

1999-08-29   Michael Hanni  <mhanni@sprintmail.com>

Tue Oct 27 08:45:00 1998  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        Corrected all the collection classes to return the count of objects
        in the collection as the ([-hash]) in conformance with the latest
        documentation.

        * src/NSGCString.m: Implemented ([-copy]) and ([-copyWithZone:]) to
        work without invoking any methods uing the runtime - much faster.
        * src/NSObject.m: Bugfix and performance improvement to the -perform...
        methods.  They previously threw an exception if the method referred
        to by the selector was not implemented (when they should have tried
        forwarding instead) rather than when passed a nul selector.

Sun Oct 25 08:00:00 1998  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * src/NSObject.m: Cache implementation for adding object to autorelease

        New Archiver/unarchiver - OPENSTEP complient (I think).
        Basic functionality tested fairly thoroughly, some of the more
        unusual bits untested so far. Mechanisms for adding other backends
        in place, but untested. Performance may be around four times that
        of the old version though there is still a little (very little)
        room for improvement.

Thu Sep 30 17:45:00 1998  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        More performance work - huge improvement in dictionary lookup and
        perhaps 15 percent improvement elsewhere.
        * src/NSString.m: ([-hash]) changed hash generation to produce a
        more evenly distributed value so that dictionary lookup works
        better for large dictionaries full of similar keys.

        * src/NSAutoreleasePool: Added NSLog to ([+addObject:]) to warn when
        an object is autoreleased without a pool being present.
        This should avoid many mistakes by newbies who don't understand
        the retain/release/autorelease mechanism (perhaps it'll encourage
        them to read up about it).  It also serves as a useful reminder
        when you DO know what you are doing.

Wed Sep 30 14:35:00 1998  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

Fri Aug  4 10:55:00 1998  Richard Frith-Macdonald <richard@brainstorm.co.uk>

        * src/GNUmakefile: Removed NSAllocateObject.m and
        NSDeallocateObject.m (contents merged into NSObject.m).
        * src/NSObject.m: Modified to perform storage of retain counts local
        to the objects concerned in order to speed up performance - also
        modified to cache an objects zone with it - in order to maintain
        (or better) current performance when we get the NSZone code fixed
        to work with malloced memory.
        * src/include/NSObjCRuntime.h: Removed NSDebugLog()

        * src/NSGString.m: Added implementation of [-hash] to handle caching
        of strings hash value.  Modified NSGMutableString methods to reset
        hash cache when string is modified.
        * src/NSString.m: Misc performance hacks - use alloca() rather than
        malloc/free where possible etc.
        YMMV, but the above changes got me a 20% performance improvement in
        the app I was working with.
        * src/o_map.m:  Don't use o_map_key_callbacks() - access the field
        in the structure directly to avoid the function-call overhead as this
        function was being called LOTS of times.  Only a tiny performance
        improvement - but every little helps.
