Hello all,
Finally made it back onto the support mailing list seems I was bounced long
time ago, here I thought the list was just silent...
Anyways I made a 2.3.0 source code tarball awhile back which is on the Swarm
website though not announced as a release. This contains all of the patches
and up-to-date code before I got my fingers into things and swirled it all up.
There is Swarm_2_3 release branch in SVN.
The SVN main development branch contains all of the objc runtime abstraction
work and likely has broken a number of things.
I think we should offer two choices. For those who want a very stable release,
that they can run their old Swarm applications upon, we should have a Swarm
2.3.X release branch that keeps those people happy. I'm trying to get this
release branch into Debian (and thus into Ubuntu). Paul, I think if you want
to do your RPM work on the 2.3.X release then that would be great. We can keep
that up-to-date with the new Fedora, etc.
For those we want to use the new Mac work or GNUstep or just like to be on the
bleeding edge, then a 2.4.x (or currently SVN main branch) is for them.
