Good evening...
I've done a simple analysis to see what is currently missing in GNUstep GUI vs. OS 10.8 AppKit. Here is the list of classes which we currently are lacking. My analysis doesn't not include a list of methods which are not implemented on classes which we currently do have, but I will get there. I simply wanted to give us an idea of where we are. Here is the list of classes which are missing in GNUstep:
NSATSTypesetter
NSAnimationContext
NSCIImageRep
NSDatePicker
NSDatePickerCell
NSDictionaryController
NSDockTile
NSDraggingImageComponent
NSDraggingItem
NSDraggingSession
NSFontCollection
NSGlyphInfo
NSLayoutConstraint
NSMutableFontCollection
NSOpenGLLayer
NSOpenGLPixelBuffer
NSPDFImageRep
NSPICTImageRep
NSPageController
NSPasteboardItem
NSPathCell
NSPathComponentCell
NSPathControl
NSPersistentDocument
NSPredicateEditor
NSPredicateEditorRowTemplate
NSQuickDrawView
NSRuleEditor
NSRunningApplication
NSSharingService
NSSharingServicePicker
NSSimpleHorizontalTypesetter
NSSpeechRecognizer
NSStatusBar
NSStatusItem
NSTableCellView
NSTableRowView
NSTextAlternatives
NSTextFinder
NSTextInputContext
NSTouch
NSTrackingArea
NSTreeNode
NSTypesetter
As an aside, since some might wonder, we are currently missing the following classes from AppKit in OPENSTEP 4.2:
Listener -- NeXTSTEP compatibility class...
NSCStringText -- NeXTSTEP compatibility class...
NSDPSContext -- DPS is not implemented
NSDPSServerContext -- DPS is not implemented.
Speaker -- NeXTSTEP compatibility class...
These are irrelevant since they are either NeXTSTEP specific or they pertain only to DPS which we don't care about.
I will do the same analysis for Foundation/base. Once that's done I will list the methods which are missing on existing classes in both libraries vs OS 10.8.
