Previously, when a view-based table: - Had no delegate. - Used bindings for its data source, thus obviating the need for makeViewWithIdentifier:owner:. it would eventually call CPCib -instantiateCibWithOwner:topLevelObjects: with a nil owner (the nil table delegate). This method would try to construct a dictionary with the nil owner, which would generate a deprecation warning, and will in the future fail altogether. In Cocoa, this is exactly what happens, the owner is nil. And the documentation for -instantiateNibWithOwner:topLevelObjects: clearly states that the owner may be nil. This commit only adds the owner to the name table dictionary if the owner is non-nil. Since objectForKey: with a non-existent key returns nil, this is the same as storing nil for that key.
Welcome to Cappuccino!
Introduction
Cappuccino is an open source framework that makes it easy to build desktop-caliber applications that run in a web browser.
Cappuccino is built on top of standard web technologies like JavaScript, and it implements most of the familiar APIs from GNUstep and Apple's Cocoa frameworks. When you program in Cappuccino, you don't need to concern yourself with the complexities of traditional web technologies like HTML, CSS, or even the DOM. The unpleasantries of building complex cross browser applications are abstracted away for you.
For more information, see http://cappuccino-project.org.
System Requirements
To run Cappuccino applications, all you need is a web browser that understands JavaScript.
To build Cappuccino itself, please read below. More information is available here: Getting and Building the Source.
If you're using Windows, you'll also need Cygwin.
Finally, if you want to easily stay up to date with the latest developments and contribute your work back to the Cappuccino community, you'll want to install Git.
Getting Started
To get started, download and install the current release version of Cappuccino:
$ curl https://raw.github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino/v0.9.7-alpha1/bootstrap.sh >/tmp/cappuccino_bootstrap.sh && bash /tmp/cappuccino_bootstrap.sh
If you'd just like to get started using Cappuccino for your web apps, you are done.
The rest of these instructions are for building a development copy of Cappuccino. To build Cappuccino from source, check out the most recent stable version from GitHub:
$ git clone git://github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino.git (git)
or download the zipball of the most recent source code:
http://github.com/cappuccino/cappuccino/zipball/master (zip)
Then, simply type jake from within the root of the Cappuccino directory. If you
get an error like jake: command not found, you forgot to run the bootstrap script
as described above.
Jake will build a "release" copy of the frameworks. Typing jake debug will
build a debug version.
jake install will build Cappuccino and associated tools and install them for general use.
