mGSTEP is a software development framework designed primarily for use in embedded devices. It implements the core elements of NeXT’s OpenStep that evolved into Apple’s Cocoa Objective-C class libraries. The drawing API is a partial implementation of Display Postscript in parallel with the newer Core Graphics API. The stable GUI (AppKit) is X11 based. An experimental Linux framebuffer based GUI backend is also included and under active development.
Changes: Significant functionality was added to the Linux framebuffer AppKit GUI backend. New features include: scrolling, window stack management, window detection, menu support, gradient rendering, window double buffering, and keyboard support. Overall stability was also greatly improved. A new item in the FAQ section of the Web site describes basic configuration.
