@helge @ctietze @dasdom Was investigating a bit. Really fell in love with that project. When I randomly found it on the web I always thought it just were some nerds who invented their own language. But that they really ported a big bunch of #Cocoa, including nib/xib translation really is an exciting thing to me. And it even looks very well, way better than #GNUstep. 😉

@dennyhenke I was just looking for a #WindowManager that could use those themes, but I fear there aren't any, even in the #GNUStep camp which should be the nearer to those sensibilities (I used unar https://theunarchiver.com/command-line to unpack those SIT files from @macthemes
An new #wmlive version matching Debian/Trixie point release 13.3 has been made available, this time without any donation requirements.
Check it out at https://wmlive.sourceforge.net
The former requirement for a donation has been dropped as it didn't generate any sufficient increase in donations, and rather resulted in wasting even more time with donator access management.
Gave an update on #Gershwin Desktop development for #FreeBSD, #GhostBSD, and #Linux in yesterday's #GNUstep meeting. Working super hard to make the desktop welcoming and familiar to switchers from proprietary OSes - but not just superficially. Design, after all, is how it works, not just how it looks. @greg_casamento put up the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDwLzy8map8&t=1000s
👾 Gershwin: Desktop Environment based on GNUstep welcoming to switchers
｢ Gershwin offers Workspace, Terminal, TextEdit, System Preferences, a native Window Manager for X11 apps, Global Menu server for GNUstep/X11 apps, and more ｣
A new web browser is coming to #GNUstep: #Ladybird. Want to try it out or join the fun? https://github.com/pkgdemon/ladybird/issues/1
The #previous packages for i386, amd64, and arm64 at wmlive.rumbero.org/repo/pool/ma... have been updated to its current 4.0-r1747 version.
The builds are based on libsdl3 version 3.2.10, as offered in the target release Debian/Trixie.

The #previous packages at https://wmlive.rumbero.org/repo/pool/main/p/previous/ have been updated to its current 4.0-r1747 version.
The builds are based on libsdl3 version 3.2.10 as offered in Debian/Trixie, which is the target release these packages have been built for.
As usual, packages for i386, amd64, and arm64 have been provided.
There will be no further builds for Debian/Bookworm, as it doesn't include any libsdl3 support packages.
Instead of waiting to the end of the year for the passphrase of the encrypted 7z archives of the amd64 & arm64 variants of #wmlive, Christmas is best to enjoy it already.
Here is the passphrase: ThanksForYourSupport

@helge @sgharms Two arguments to feed my reasoning:
Let's say it could be a SDK.
This is the list of frameworks of Mac OS X:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/OSX_Technology_Overview/SystemFrameworks/SystemFrameworks.html
Of these #GNUstep provides two. Only one (Foundation) works.
The other one (AppKit) doesn't.
@sgharms Apple still develops #macOS more than #GNUstep ever evolved. Problem is I don't like the direction it's going. I don't want a network request for every app that I open.
But GNUstep won't help. It's just a POC, not able to deliver meaningful software anymore.
In case you want to develop #ObjC on living systems, try @objfw on literally any OS out there. In case you want a system where ObjC really is used to develop current applications, try #MorphOS.
Window Maker Live based on Debian/Trixie 13.2 has been released!

The source code for the wmlive build tree has been made available at sourceforge.net/projects/wml... to allow custom wmlive builds.
Except for the i386 variant, the soon to be uploaded iso images will be contained in an encrypted 7z archive requiring a password to be unpacked.
