ANNOUNCE: GNUstep Base 1.3.0

[Adam Fedor]

The GNUstep Base Library, version 1.3.0, is now available. Note that 
this is an unstable release. It has not been as well tested as a stable 
release. Unstable releases have an odd minor version number.

What is the GNUstep Base Library?
=================================

   The GNUstep Base Library is a library of general-purpose,
non-graphical Objective C objects.  For example, it includes classes
for strings, object collections, byte streams, typed coders,
invocations, notifications, notification dispatchers, moments in time,
network ports, remote object messaging support (distributed objects),
and event loops.

   It provides functionality that aims to implement the non-graphical
portion of the OpenStep standard (the Foundation library).

   There is more information available at the GNUstep homepage at
`http://www.gnustep.org'.

Noteworthy changes in version `1.3.0'
=====================================

   * Moved additional classes into subprojects and/or bundles to make it
     easier to port these to other Foundation libraries..

   * Traditional Chinese extensions added.

   * Better support for resources (bundles)

   * Ports and DO work on MingW.

   * Better KeyValueCoding support (for EOF).

   * New, partially finished Objective-C/Foundation programming manual.

Where can you get it?  How can you compile it?
==============================================

   The gnustep-base-1.3.0.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.

   The library requires gcc 2.8.0 or higher.  See the `GNUstep-HOWTO'
