- ANNOUNCING THE RELEASE OF THE MISCKIT VERSION 2.0.1
-
- OPENSTEP Version of Free Objective-C Object Kit Is Now Available
-
- PROVO, UT, August 28, 1996 -- The next release of the OPENSTEP
- MiscKit has been made publically available. The MiscKit may
- be obtained via ftp to the following site:
-
- ftp://ftp.thoughtport.com/pub/next/misckit/MiscKit2.0.0.s.gnutar.gz
-
- If you prefer, you may point your WWW browser at:
-
- http://www.yacktman.com/misckit/index.html
-
- The thoughtport.com site always has the most recent official MiscKit
- distribution available in /pub/next/misckit with all previous versions
- archived in /pub/next/misckit/old.
-
- This update contains new versions of nearly all of the objects that
- actually (sort of) worked in the previous release. If you are working
- with the OPENSTEP MiscKit, this release will be much more useful than
- the previous release. Be aware, however, that all previous warnings
- still apply to this version of the kit!
-
- This MiscKit release is special in that it is almost useless to
- developers using the MiscKit. That may sound like a joke, but it
- isn't. This release contains ONLY a few basic projects that show
- how the OPENSTEP kit will eventually be laid out. It does NOT
- have everything converted yet, though the entire kit has been
- run through the OPENSTEP conversion scripts. This release is
- being made so that those interested in participating in the port
- can pick it up, see what needs to be done, and pitch in.
-
- If you are hoping to use this in a project, you will be sorely
- disappointed with the state and useability of this release, and
- should not pick it up. If you want to help in the porting effort,
- then pick it up and dig in! We can use help from everyone who
- wants to pitch in.
-
- Since a press release is too short to give detailed information,
- please read the OPENSTEP MiscKit FAQ at:
-
- http://www.misckit.com/faq/openstep.html
-
- An HTML version of the README file for this release, which gives
- more specific information about the new MiscKit, is located at:
-
- http://www.misckit.com/READMEs/MK.2.0.1.html
-
- Although the current state of the OPENSTEP kit, to quote Don, "is
- pathetic", Don is also quite confident that this kit will become
- useful very quickly once everyone has had a full opportunity to
- pitch in and help move it along. New release frequencies while
- the OPENSTEP port continues are expected to happen every 2-3 weeks.
-
- For those still using the regular MiscKit, MiscKit 1.8.0 is due
- near the end of August. An announcement will be posted
- here when it is ready.
