102
Noteworthy changes in version `1.8.0'
103
=====================================
105
Read the NEWS file for a complete list of changes since the last stable
106
version. The major change is that the header files (both in the package
107
and when installed) are in different locations. Also, due to filesystem
108
changes in gnustep-make, several components of gnustep-base are located
109
in different locations. Generally this should not affect the
110
compilation or running of applications and tools.
112
Noteworthy changes in version `1.7.4'
113

120
=====================================
122
Note in this version there have been large changes to the location of
123
header files (both in the package and when installed). It's possible
124
(though unlikely) that certain applications that rely on GNUstep
125
specific headers may not compile because of this.
127
* A number of Protocol and DO fixes.

=====================================
150
See gnustep-make for comments on the filesystem change. Some components
151
of gnustep-base are now stored in different directories and in some
152
cases you should use different methods to look for them. Use
153
+pathForLibraryResource:ofType:inDirectory: instead of
154
+pathForGNUstepResource:. Also try using +bundleForLibrary:.
156
gnustep-base is now documentated as OpenStep complient. Other
