        * NGExtensions.xcode: Fixed dependencies to resemble the make process
          more closely. Our aim should be to stick to the make process
          as closely as possible, so we shouldn't introduce dependencies in
          non-toplevel projects.

        * NGExtensions.xcode: minor fix

2004-09-20  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

          (v4.3.114)
        
        * NGBundleManager.m: changed bundle resource lookup to check loaded
          bundles before scanning the NGBundlePath resources (is faster and

          (v4.3.113)
        
2004-09-05  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * v4.3.112

          same exceptions are now thrown for all runtimes

2004-08-30  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGBundleManager.m: fixed yet another bug in NGBundleManager path

          GNUSTEP_PATHLIST

        * added hack to install the project in FHS locations - the library,
          its headers, the tools and the resources will be installed in
          FHS_INSTALL_ROOT if specified (eg make FHS_INSTALL_ROOT=/usr/local)

2004-08-29  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

        * NGCalendarDateRange.m: properly fixed intersectionDateRange: to not
          return pseudo-ranges. (v4.3.107)

        * v4.3.106

        * NGCalendarDateRange.m: changed -containsDate: in a way that the range
          is treated as a half-open interval (including startDate, excluding
          endDate). 

        * v4.3.105

        * NGExtensions.xcode: new Xcode project

        * NGStringScanEnumerator.m: compile bugfix

        * FdExt.subproj/NSObject+Values.m([NSString -unsignedCharValue]): added
          a specific implementation for NSString to support KVC bool operations
          (because BOOL values are represented as 'unsigned char' values at
          runtime, [self takeValue:@"YES" ...] coercion did fail for bool
          methods) (v4.2.100)

2004-07-22  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * EOExt.subproj/EOKeyMapDataSource.m: fixed a gcc 3.4 warning (v4.2.99)

        * v4.2.96

        * FdExt.subproj/NSArray+enumerator.m: fixed a bug with array capacity
          initialization (used an uninitialized variable leading to a virtual
          memory exhausted on gstep-base)

        * FdExt.subproj/NGPropertyListParser.m (_makeException): be more
          tolerant about nil results in NSString creation (fixes an exception
          with gstep-base)

2004-06-17  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSURL+misc.m: add a hack to work around a bug in NSURL
          on Cocoa Foundation, added a lot of debug logs (v4.2.95)

2004-06-10  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * NGObjCRuntime.m: fixed hack for dynamic class loading with gcc 3.4
          (type signature of the privates changed or is more strictly checked)
          (v4.2.94)

        * v4.2.93

        * GNUmakefile: removed NGCString from compilation

        * NGExtensions/NGExtensions.h: do not include NGCString.h

        * NGExtensions/GNUmakefile.preamble: added prebinding (v4.2.92)

2004-06-08  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj: include NGPropertyListParser categories when compiling
          for libFoundation (v4.2.91)

        * v4.2.90

        * GNUmakefile.preamble: fixed path to DOM library, added explicit 
          dependency to SaxObjC for MacOSX

        * NGBundleManager.m: logging can now be enabled using the 
          NGBundleManagerDebugEnabled default, some code cleanups

2004-06-07  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>
        
        * NGExtensions/NSString+misc.[hm]: improved, now works with any object
          which supports KVC (v4.2.89)
        
2004-06-07  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * NGBundleManager.m: fixed gcc 3.4 warnings (v4.2.88)

2004-06-05  Stephane Corthesy  <stephane@sente.ch>

        * NGBundleManager.m(-bundleForClass:): added basic support for classes
          defined in frameworks (v4.2.87)

2004-06-03  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * NGObjCRuntime.m: added a hack to make NGObjCRuntime.m compile with
          gcc 3.4.0 (v4.2.86)

2004-06-01  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

        * NGExtensions/NSCalendarDate+misc.h,
          FdExt.subproj/NSCalendarDate+misc.m: new method -(BOOL)isInLeapYear,
          utilized by rewritten -(int)numberOfDaysInMonth. 
          -(NSCalendarDate *)lastDayOfMonth uses -(int)numberOfDaysInMonth now
          instead of the other way round as before. -lastDayOfMonth turned
          out to be non-portable to gnustep-base, the new implementation works
          with all foundation and is far more time/memory efficient. (v4.2.85)

2004-05-17  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSNull+misc.m: added 'NSNullAbortOnMessage' default to
          enable abort()'s if a message is sent to NSNull (useful for debugging
          NSNull issues on MacOSX (v4.2.84)

2004-05-09  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGObjCRuntime.m: fixed a bug in GNU runtime method addition, added
          a class enumerator for the GNU runtime (v4.2.83)

        * NGObjCRuntime.m: added an implementation of +addMethods for the
          Apple runtime (v4.2.82)

2004-05-05  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

        * GNUmakefile.preamble: added support for building with
          GNUSTEP_BUILD_DIR environment variable set for recent
          gnustep-make package. (v4.2.81)

2004-05-04  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

        * EOExt.subproj/EOSortOrdering+plist.m: fixed wrong mappings for
          case insensitive sortOrderings (v4.2.80)

2004-05-01  Marcus Mueller  <znek@mulle-kybernetik.com>

        * v4.2.79

        * EOExt.subproj/EOSortOrdering+plist.m: fixed wrong key argument to
          initWithKey:selector: in initWithDictionary:.

        * EOExt.subproj/EOFetchSpecification+plist.m: testing for
          respondsToSelector(objectEnumerator) matches dictionaries as well,
          resulting in improper behavior. Narrowed to testing for kind of
          NSArray now.

2004-05-01  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>
        
        * NGObjCRuntime.m: improved support for Apple runtime (v4.2.78)
        
2004-04-07  Jean-Alexis Montignies  <ja@sente.ch>
        
        * NGHashMap: added because used in NGObjWeb
          -asDictionaryWithArraysForValues (v4.2.77)
        
2004-04-07  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGExtensions/NSString+Encoding.h: exported 
          +stringEncodingForEncodingNamed: on Cocoa (v4.2.76)

2004-04-01  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>
        
        * NGHashMap: some code cleanups, made the code a bit more fault
          tolerant (check for some NULL references, as suggest by Jean-Alexis 
          Montignies), fixed missing class in header file (v4.2.75)
        
2004-03-24  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * FdExt: added NSString+German category which contains some methods to
          deal with ASCII representations of German umlauts (useful for some
          searches) (v4.2.74)

2004-03-22  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * v4.2.73

        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+HTMLEscaping.m: added escaping for some
          missing umlauts

        * FdExt.subproj/NSObject+Values.m: minor speed optimization to NSString
          -boolValue

2004-03-15  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * EOExt: moved in property list initializer methods from EOControl (to
          make them available for GDL2)

2004-03-14  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGBundleManager.m: print an error log if we were unable to get the 
          system NSUserDefaults object, as it currently happens with 
          gstep-base, added a hack not to create the NGBundleManager if the
          NSUserDefaults object could not be retrieved (v4.2.71)

2004-03-13  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * EOFilterDataSource: code cleanups, added -description method 
          (v4.2.70)

2004-03-11  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * NGBundleManager.m: disabled a debug log (v4.2.69)

2004-03-10  Donald Duck  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGBundleManager.m: print a warning if the NGBundlePath default is not
          configured (v4.2.68)

2004-03-08  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSException+misc.m: added a -copyWithZone: method,
          as used by the XML-RPC client (v4.2.67)

2004-03-01  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSException+misc.m: added a -setReason: implementation
          for gnustep-base - thanks to chunsj for pointing that out (v4.2.66)

2004-02-24  Helge Hess  <helge@mac.in.skyrix.com>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSNull+misc.m: added -descriptionWithLocale: on MacOSX
          (v4.2.65)

2004-02-23  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSNull+misc.m: added -descriptionWithLocale: for
          Cocoa Foundation (v4.2.65)

        * FdExt.subproj/NSNull+misc.m: added various "ignore that" methods for 
          MacOSX: -isEqualToString:, -characterAtIndex:, 
          -descriptionWithLocale:indent:, added -respondsToSelector: (always
          returns YES on MacOSX) - Note: this is to be considered a workaround,
          we need to find out, why OGo calls such methods on NSString with
          Cocoa Foundation (v4.2.64)

2004-02-19  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSCalendarDate+misc.m, NSString+Ext.m: added KVC 
          default handlers for Cocoa Foundation (avoids some exceptions, 
          libFoundation is much more tolerant regarding missing KVC keys than 
          Cocoa) (v4.2.63)

2004-02-13  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * v4.2.62

        * NGBundleManager.m: do not report missing resources on MacOSX (reduced
          debug level)

        * FdExt.subproj/NSArray+enumerator.m: added implementation of 
          -map:... (to be considered deprecated ...) for the MacOSX port

2004-02-12  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGBundleManager.m: disabled class-hook debugging on OSX (v4.2.61)

2004-02-10  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

2004-02-08  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+Encoding.m: cleanups, use ucs-2-internal
          instead of ucs-2 on non-Linux platforms and detect platform byte
          ordering and use ucs-2le or ucs-2be depending on that - should fix
          OGo bugs #580 (does not fix #145) (v4.2.59)

2004-01-23  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSFileManager+Extensions.m: renamed category to
          ExtendedFileManagerImp to avoid gcc warnings (v4.2.58)

2003-12-28  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * NGBundleManager.m: minor cleanups (v4.2.57)

2003-11-30  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+misc.m, 
          FdExt.subproj/NSMethodSignature+misc.m: applied some minor patches
          for gstep-base provided by chunsj@embian.com (v4.2.56)

2003-11-20  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+URLEscaping.m: added UTF-8 URL escaping
          (v4.2.55)

        * v4.2.54
        
        * NSString+URLEscaping.m: added default 'NGUseUTF8AsURLEncoding' to
          unescape URL strings as UTF-8 entities. This is usually the right
          thing to do for WebDAV servers like ZideStore. Note that encoding
          is still always done in ISO-Latin-1 (to be fixed)
        
        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+misc.m: moved the various string escaping
          implementations (URL, HTML and XML) into separate NSString categories

2003-11-09  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@opengroupware.org>

        * FdExt.subproj/NSString+Formatting.m: minor speed and MacOSX
          compatibility improvements (v4.2.53)

2003-10-27  Helge Hess  <helge.hess@skyrix.com>
