ANNOUNCE
********

This is version 0.7.6 of the GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend (`gnustep-xgps'). This is an 'unstable' release as it has not been as widely tested as more stable releases.

What is the GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend?
======================================

   It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library.  The
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts.  The
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
and display system.  This front-end is combined with a back-end
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
specific calls to the X Window System.  This design allows the GNUstep
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
easily ported to other display systems.

   The GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend is for platforms using the X Window
System It works via a DPS emulation engine to use Xlib calls to emulate
the DPS functions required by the front-end system.

Noteworthy changes in version `0.7.6'
=====================================

   * XIM support works for European languages. Partial Chinese support.

   * Scroll wheel support.

   * Image scaling implemented and better display of image formats.

Where can you get it?  How can you compile it?
==============================================

   The gstep-xgps-0.7.6.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.

Where do I send bug reports?
============================

   Bug reports can be sent to the GNUstep bug list <bug-gnustep@gnu.org>
