AW: 1.0 Bugs - Microsoft Office 2003

by Roland Kaeser

Hello Sorry for my cheek, but don't a 1.0-Version mean that every Windows app works on Wine?

Afaik this is not really possible with bugzilla as account names are the email address, so hiding them would remove quite some usability. In theory one could hide email addresses from users that are not logged in, but such a feature is not currently implemented in bugzilla. Users that don't want to provide a email address can still use the bugmenot.com login to your bugzilla. But users better should have a distinguishable account. Also we could in principle change accounts to non-existent email addresses if someone really does not want to use another way of hiding his real email, but that doesn't scale and someone who wants to actively participate in our project already reveals his email address on the mailinglists and in the git changelog. In the end there are various other ways to not reveal ones real or main email address that are not specific to this case. Jan

There are already a couple too many sound drivers in Wine and none of which are great. Alexandre won't accept yet another sound driver in Wine. He would like to have one sound driver working perfect (probably winealsa). bye michael -- Michael Stefaniuc Tel.: +49-711-96437-199 Sr. Network Engineer Fax.: +49-711-96437-111 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Reg.

Bugzilla and spam harvesting

by Dan Kegel

Should we modify our Bugzilla to hide email addresses at least a little? I'd like that myself, and users request it occasionally. Just now, somebody asked that he be removed from bugzilla because it doesn't do this. - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv

The situation is already horrible because we have to go through several layers. Sound servers are an additional layer on top of lets say oss, alsa or other APIs. Alsa on its own is already very complicated to get working. A sound server will add more latency and so on. From a wine point of view what you need to use is Alsa and make that work correctly with pulseaudio. I think that some day in the near future we might even drop esd and some of the other drivers because they are a hell to get working and to maintain them.

What happened to the Wine Newsletters?

by King InuYasha

What happened to the wine weekly newsletters? the latest issue on the website is dated May 26, 2007. I am hoping this does not mean nothing interesting has happened since then, since I am certain something must have happened since then...
