a set of "Loader" and "Builder" classes which handle filling in
the data structures in Gorm and exporting them to external formats.
* Implemented GormNibWrapperLoader and GormNibWrapperBuilder for
reading and writing Cocoa NIB files.
* Implemented GormGormWrapperLoader and GormGormWrapperBuilder for
reading and writing GNUstep Gorm files

not to update when the field was being edited and a new window is
selected.
* Corrected problem with standalone views
Noteworthy changes in version `1.0.0'
=========================================
* All inspectors are now modeled in .gorm files.
* Added autosizing to form attributes inspector.
* Utilize and maintain parent/child data structure more pervasively
* Reorganized code in palettes for cleaner implementation.
* Removed code to check for user bundles, since bugs in Camaelon
which prompted those changes were fixed long ago.
* Added documentation to GormCore
* Improved implementation of canSubstituteForClass: the default
implementation of this method tests the classes to see if
initWithCoder: or encodeWithCoder: is implemented on a subclass to
determine automatically if that class has the same encoding
signature as the original class, if it does, it can be substituted.
* Improved handling of classes which use cell classes in the custom
class inspector. The inspector now autmatically replaces the cell
class with the appropriate one when the user selects a given
subclass.
* Browser based class editor in document panel. This interface is
more like the one on OSX. The user now has a choice in
preferences to determine which view they would like to use.
* Translation tools. The Document->Translate menu allows the user
to export string and import strings in the strings format, so that
someone can easily translate just the strings in the file and
doesn't need to directly edit anything in Gorm. The strings file
can then be loaded back into Gorm and all of the relevant strings
are updated.
* Alignment tools. In the new Layout menu there are options to
align views, center views, bring views to front or push them to
the back of the view layers.
* Implementation of IBViewResourceDraggingDelegate. This allows
updating of the pull down in the inspectors panel dynamically. It
requires the developer of a palette to implement some code to
enable this, as on OSX.
* Lots of bugfixes and usability changes are also included in this
release.
* Gorm now has a full implementation of canSubstituteForClass: which
is used to determine if a class can be substituted in the custom
class inspector. This allows classes added in palettes to say
whether or not they can be used as a subsitute for a kit class.
* Better separation of Gorm into libraries. As well as the ability
to compile on windows with a simple: "make install"
* Implementation of IBResourceManager class. This class is used by
palettes to register drag types to be considered by the top level
editors in the document window: object, sound, image, class.
* Gorm now is able to switch views in the document window when you
drag a file into it. If it's an image it will switch to the image
view, if it's a sound, the sound view, an object the object view
etc or if it's a class (a .h file) it will switch to the classes
view.
* Drag and drop parsing of header files (if you hadn't gathered from
the previous item).
* Better support for standalone views. while the user cannot
instantiate from the classes view (there were too many problems
with this approach). They can now drag any view from the palette
into the objects view and have it work.
* A myriad of bug fixes.
NOTE: This is mainly a bugfix release.
* Some improvements to the procedure for removing connections.
* Corrected various issues with header parsing.
* Now closes windows which were opened during interface testing such
as font panels, info panels, etc.
* Minor corrections to background color for a number of inspectors.
* Improvements to gmodel importation.
* Better detection of when the user is utilizing a user bundle.
Gorm will now warn the user with a panel.
* Various improvements in documentation
* Images/Sounds can now be dragged into a matrix cell.
* Fully implemented date and number formatter inspectors (these
classes still need work in GUI).
* Added warning panel if the user attempts to edit a .gorm file
created with a newer version of Gorm
* Modified data.classes format so that only those actions
specifically added to FirstResponder are listed.
* Greatly improved gmodel importation. (experimental)
* It's now possible to add methods to classes which are not custom.
This allows the user to add actions which may have been added to
those classes by categories.
* Completely new header parser implemented.
* Improved cut/paste. It's now possible to use cut/paste from
almost anywhere. The class editor now fully supports it.
* Improved implementation of some of the InterfaceBuilder framework
classes.
* Object editor will now remove all instances of a class that has
been deleted from the class editor.
* The class inspector and the classes view will now apply stricter
rules to names of actions and outlets to ensure that they are
properly entered.
* All inspectors work perfectly with customized colors.
* Fixed a number of bugs.
* New gorm file version.
* Full custom palette support
* Palette preferences panel to allow the user to configure palettes
to load
* Experimental: Standalone views. This feature is to allow the use
of a view without the need of a containing window. This allows
developers to treat these views as they would any other top level
object in the .gorm file. This is experimental functionality.
* Improved NSTableColumn inspector. The new inspector allows the
user to change the data cell used for a given column. This
allows the user to select from a list of cell subclasses and set
the appropriate custom or non-custom one they want to appear in
that column of the table.
* Improved layout of some of the inspectors.
* Removed old class parser. The parser was somewhat buggy and was
actually causing some issues. A new parser will be available in
the next version of Gorm. For now users will need to use the
class inspector or the outline view to enter classes into Gorm.
* Experimental: "File" section. This is essentially a per-file
preference which allows the user to control which version of
GNUstep a given file will be compatible with. It also lists the
potential compatibility issues with the selected version.
* Improved controls palette. New items for some of the standard
font replace the old "Title" widget which was a System-14 font.
The new widgets use a selection of the standard System font to
allow the user to easily build a gui using these and reducing the
amount of time the user needs to spend fiddling with the font
panel.
* Important bugfixes in editor classes.
* Rearranged some of the editor classes to be in the palettes which
contain the classes they are responsible for editing
(GormButtonEditor & GormTabViewEditor).
* Image and Sound editors will now display system default images or
sounds if they are available.
* Document window now uses an NSToolbar (experimental).
* Improved the layout of some of the inspectors.
* Corrected some minor issues in the inspectors
* Added code to allow NSTableView and NSOutlineView to show some data during testing
* Gorm will now show an alert panel when a model fails to load or test properly.
This release is mainly a bugfix release for 0.7.5.
* Improved .gmodel support
* Corrections to previous repair feature.
* Important bugfixes for Menu editing.
* Important bugfixes for class inspector.
Noteworthy changes in version `0.7.5'
=====================================
* The 'reparent' feature in the class inspector. This allows the
user to change the class hierarchy from within Gorm.
* Some important bugfixes
* a property 'GormRepairFileOnLoad' (untested) which should repaire
old .gorm files... It is HIGHLY recommended that Gorm not be run
with this on constantly and that you back up any files which you
want to repair before opening them with this option turned on.
* A shelf inspector in prefs that lets you expand the size of the
names in the object view..
* Support for NSFontManager
* A way to restore a complete NSMenu if it's deleted (a new palette
entry for NSMenu, not just an item)

replace the class when the .gorm is unarchived. This can be used
to turn a NSTextField into NSSecureTextField and etc.
* New set name panel.
* New switch control on the font panel to allow the user to specify
if a font is encoded with its default size or not.
