Autoresolving our 554 old UNCONFIRMED bugs
by Dan Kegel 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

We have 554 unconfirmed bugs older than 90 days. Most of these are likely to be obsolete. It would be really easy to write a script to ping the people who submitted those bugs, and ask them to update the bug if it's still valid. If there's no reply in two weeks, we could mark the bug 'resolved abandoned'. Detailed proposal, including the text of the message to be sent, are at http://kegel.com/wine/qa/autoresolve.html I'd like to send this once packages are ready. Comments? -- Trying to get a job as a c++ developer? See http://kegel.com/academy/getting-hired.html

Instead of creating another key, why not set the Desktop key to #800x600. We will need to fix x11drv_main, of course... Richard.

WINE Regression due to patch applied Feb 22, 2005 10:50 CDT
by Arren Lex 09 Oct '05

09 Oct '05

I've just finished regression testing WINE using the instructions at http://winehq.com/site/docs/wine-devel/x1375 One of my favourite applications, the open-source and freeware KeyNote, available at http://www.tranglos.com/free/keynote.html , experienced a regression between WINE 20050211 and 20050310. I've been too lazy to regression test it for a long time, preferring simply to use an older version of wine, but in honour of WINE's pending non-alpha release I went ahead and tested it. Keynote used to run perfectly under WINE <=20050211, but after 20050310, it doesn't launch: it spits out the error message "Exception EAccessViolation in module kernel32.dll at 0004FF5D. Access violation at address 404DFF5D in module 'kernel32.dll'. Read of address 00000000." and quits. This regression still exists in the latest version of WINE. I found WINE's ability to run the application was broken between 20050222 10:50:10 CDT and 20050222 10:50:15 CDT. Watching the output of 'cvs update', it seems three files were modified during these five seconds: U dlls/kernel/string.c U dlls/shell32/shell32.spec U include/winbase.h I don't know which one is the culprit; I'm not a programmer. I just hope I've given you guys enough information to fix it! Keep WINE alive. It's an awesome utility. P.S. Is there some sort of list of patches and when they were applied? The regression testing page above doesn't link to one (maybe it should!) and I wasn't able to find one I could check against. _________________________________________________________________ Don't just Search.

This message confuses a user by implying that if he presses 'Yes' then a printer will be installed. I'd suggest to either change the message or add missing functionality. -- Dmitry.

regarding the bug430
by Vijay Kiran Kamuju 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

hi all, if we disable the following two lines in DEFDLG_SetFocus function in the defdlg.c (line nos 70 and 71) if (SendMessageW( hwndCtrl, WM_GETDLGCODE, 0, 0 ) & DLGC_HASSETSEL) SendMessageW( hwndCtrl, EM_SETSEL, -1, 0 ); The testcase program given is running correctly, i have asked julliard about this. He said we need extensive testing what is the exact behavior on windows. Does this cause any regressions? Well i dont know whther this is a correct patch ?????? Well before this somebody took a stab at this but having a global variables, this was not accepted as it was a bad idea. Well if there is any other mechanism to know whether the control is a edit box, well we can put some fix so that we save the focus details on the control itself and retrive it form the control. Ideas are welcome Thanks, Vijay

Hi, the debian packages (http://wine.sf.net/apt/) are still stuck at 20050725. I have failed to contact the maintainer, Scott Ritchie. Does anyone know whether he is still dedicated to building the packages? regards, Daniel
