@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.8.0}
91
Read the NEWS file for a complete list of changes since the last stable
92
version. The major change is that the header files (both in the
93
package and when installed) are in different locations. Also, due to
94
filesystem changes in gnustep-make, several components of gnustep-base
95
are located in different locations. Generally this should not affect the
96
compilation or running of applications and tools.
98
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.7.4}
101
@item Added Korean encoding
102
@item Updated use of ObjCRuntime functions.
105
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.7.3}
107
Note in this version there have been large changes to the location of
108
header files (both in the package and when installed). It's possible
109
(though unlikely) that certain applications that rely on GNUstep specific
110
headers may not compile because of this.
113
@item A number of Protocol and DO fixes.
114
@item New TraditionalChinese language.
117
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.7.2}
120

126
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.7.1}
130
@section Noteworthy changes in version @samp{1.7.0}
132
See gnustep-make for comments on the filesystem change. Some components
133
of gnustep-base are now stored in different directories and in some cases
134
you should use different methods to look for them. Use
135
+pathForLibraryResource:ofType:inDirectory: instead of
136
+pathForGNUstepResource:. Also try using +bundleForLibrary:.
138
gnustep-base is now documentated as OpenStep complient. Other changes:
