About:
GNUstep is a cross-platform, object oriented environment composed of frameworks, tools, and servers (daemons). It is very similar to the Cocoa frameworks from Apple, and tries to maintain compatibility with Cocoa wherever it is desired and possible. The frameworks provide classes for containers, distributed objects, object archiving, file management, text system, font management, image composition, WYSIWYG PostScript graphics, and more.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Changes:
This release features many improvements and enhancements of various classes, including NSPopUpButton, NSBitmapImageRep, NSMenu, and NSToolbar. Support for thumbnail images was implemented in NSWorkspace.

[»] This is an excellent application development framework.
by Christopher "CJayC" Jenkins - Jun 9th 2002 10:46:45

GNUstep is an excellent application development framework, enabling the user to leverage the power of Objective-C and the NeXTstep/OpenStep/Mac OS X environment. I find it amazing how much more productive this software enables me to be, not only when developing software, but also when using software developed with this framework and look-'n'-feel.

Excellent work, people. This is amazing software.
