Take a look at the current (build 5536) Windows SDK headers and you'll see, that e. g. the hbmp member of the TTTOOLINFO struct has been removed again. Regards Timo

Wineconf this weekend!
by Jeremy White 11 Sep '06

11 Sep '06

Hi Folks, So this weekend is Wineconf, which is the mostly annual gathering of Wine developers and afficianodos. Everyone is welcome, although we do intend to run a very technical and developer focused agenda. It will be held in Reading, a bit west of London, in the UK. The formal program starts on Saturday. We have a tentative agenda posted on the Wiki here: http://wiki.winehq.org/WineConf2006 The one don't miss talk will be Alexandre's keynote, which will be at 9:00 am on Saturday. We're still working out the schedule for the other events. There is no charge, although you do have to take care of your own loding and travel. If you are planning to come, though, it would be handy if you could hit the RSVP page (if you haven't already): http://www.winehq.org/site/wineconf/rsvp That way we can make sure our catering counts aren't out of wack. If you are coming, particularly if you reserved a room on campus with me, you *must* sign up for this mailing list: http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wineconf or you will miss out on important details, and you'll end up wandering around Reading desperately looking for your key. (And yes, that does mean I'll stop spamming this list, and start spamming that one :-/). Cheers, Jeremy

Also you need to clear hook_thread_hwnd first, otherwise there's a race since you don't wait for the thread to finish. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: Bug #4510: allowing -ansi for arpa/nameser.h in configure.ac

I'm not sure I see the point, you'd need to fix all the places that use the file too, otherwise it won't compile, and it's not clear that defining BSD_SOURCE all over the place is a good idea. I'd suggest to fix the header instead. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Re: X11Drv: move WGL extension code

It would be nicer to declare the extensions as constant variables instead of building everything at run time. Something like: static const struct wglextension swap_control = { "WGL_EXT_swap_control", { { "wglSwapIntervalEXT", X11DRV_wglSwapIntervalEXT }, { "wglGetSwapIntervalEXT", X11DRV_wglGetSwapIntervalEXT }, } }; static void load_extensions(void) { if (glxRequireExtension("GLX_SGI_swap_control")) register_extension( &swap_control ); ... etc. } Then the extension list can simply store a pointer instead of copying the whole thing once more, and you avoid a lot of nasty macros. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

Making people aware about appdb and outdated Wine versions.
by killertux killertux 10 Sep '06

10 Sep '06

Hello, I have problem... It's know as dublication of effort. Basicly there are sites that "compeate" with appdb it means HOWTOS, test result and everyting else are distributed in few thousands forums, wikis etc... Solution is that Wine should advertice Wine AppDB so people would actully use it rather than unoffical sites. So I would like to see some AppDB "adverticement" in winecfg. Winecfg about section is one good place to inform wonders of appdb but even better would be popup window when starting winecfg(at lest in first run) that informs about appdb. Normal users obtain copy of Wine trought their package manager and that means they do not know about appdb unless they they read it somewhere. This change must be done in order to kill useless stuff like this: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-496836.html Second: Old version of Wine are still quite used because of package managers just offers "stable" Wine versions over the "unstable" ones so I would like to see another popup or warning in winecfg that informs user that their Wine is getting old... so after specific number of days(from release of Wine version X) counter gives some warnings about old Wine version.

OK, if not popup then fixme or someting like if there is problems they can go to Wine AppDB to get some compatibility help. >> --SNIP-- >> Second: Old version of Wine are still quite used because of package >> managers just offers "stable" Wine versions over the "unstable" ones so I would like >> to see another popup or warning in winecfg that informs user that their Wine is >> getting old... so after specific number of days(from release of Wine version X) >> counter gives some warnings about old Wine version. > >Having a popup (or anything that requires user interaction) could get >really irritating - there are situations where people would use an >older version of wine on purpose.
