OpenStep, GNUstep And yet another release of the GNUstep live CD, version 1.8 this time. "GNUstep (this is a live CD, an operating system, a distribution) contains a lot of software for GNUstep, a free implementation of the OPENSTEP framework (which was also the base as Cocoa in Mac OS X)."

i've always had a soft spot for gnustep. this'll be fun to try out.

on somewhat of a side note... after all of the rumblings last year, i wonder if the etoile guys are actually going to put out something usuable.

the ideas behind the etoile project seem to be just what gnustep needs to attract new users.

We are still working on it.. :-)

Basically last year was less productive than we hoped, as many of us were swamped by work... instead of finalizing a new livecd though we released the 0.2 and worked on the core toolkits, as they'll have a big impact on the application side.

So, a lot was done, but more on core toolkits than on applications or anything easily demonstrable to people... we also recently had a
hackaton in swansea ( http://etoileos.com/news/ ).

This huge work on core toolkits is reaching stages where it's starting to be useful, and really cool stuff are going to be possible with things like CoreObject (automatic serialisation/ branching, etc.) and EtoileUI.

So I guess you should expect more "visible" things in a not too distant future ;)
