StepTalk

The framework was ported to Mac OS X. The new
StepTalking application was added. The StepTalkKit
framework was added, and includes a new
conversation window class with default context, a
customizable toolbar, script history, and language
selection. New view classes were added for custom
script input/output. An AppKit bundle is included.
The source was reorganized into more logical
groups. Foundation and AppKit bundles now
advertise all public Cocoa classes. Constants from
Foundation and AppKit are generated from a simple
constants list file.

Semi-persistant scripting environments were added, and remote scripting was introduced. New language management was introduced and stenvironment, a new tool for semi-persistent environments was added. stexec now can read from standard input. Remote scripting was added to the stshell and stexec tools. New conversation methods were provided and the obsolete stalk and stupdate_languages tools were removed along with some deprecated methods and obsoleted classes. Framework compilation cleanups and various bugfixes were made.

A new actor class (STActor) with an example script to
demonstrate its usage. Fixes following GNUstep-base fixes of
NSUnknownKey.

This release changes "full scripting" behavior. When enabled, all
classes are available for scripting, not only those published by
frameworks. A design fix has been made in the Smalltalk language bundle.
Instance variables of script objects were accessed by index; now they
are referenced by names.

The examples 'StepUnit' (a unit testing example) and 'awlaunch' (launching of Unix apps from a workspace) have been added. The license has been changed to the LGPL. There are several fixes to the framework and Smalltalk bundle. A bug with signed/unsigned bytecode in the Smalltalk bundle has been fixed.
