Search data seems to show that each new product seems to raise Wine's profile a bit
by Dan Kegel May 17, 2008

May 17, 2008

It's a small effect, and it's not really surprising, but if you look at a graph of the relative search volume for the phrases linux wine linux photoshop linux warcraft linux steam it seems that each time a new big app starts working on Linux enough for people to start searching for it (photoshop, warcraft, steam), the number of queries for linux wine goes up a little bit. http://www.google.com/trends?q=linux+wine%2Clinux+photoshop%2C+linux+warcra… I'm just pleased to see that the effect is measurable, and not lost in the noise...

Wine 1.0 release status: 27 bugs left
by Dan Kegel May 16, 2008

May 16, 2008

Clickable copy at http://kegel.com/wine/countdown.html Wine Release Status Wine 1.0rc1 released on May 9. 6 days to second release candidate. wine-1.0rc1 was released on Friday, May 9th, 2008. Wine is now in a code freeze in preparation for the 1.0 release. According to http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan, wine-1.0.0-rc2 will be due out Friday, May 23rd, 2008. It will be something like be the next to last release candidate for 1.0. Alexandre is on vacation, so git is a bit stale. In particular, Photoshop CS2 and DNS 9 don't install properly due to a regression introduced just before his vacation started; here's the fix. Some effort has been put into making it easy for people to automatically report "make test" failures; see MakeTestFailures for info and results. Bug Status There are 27 open 1.0 bugs as of 16 May. Most of these will simply be rolled over to be fixed for a later release; we only have time to fix a few, and much as we'd like to fix the rest, most are not showstoppers. Changes since last week (with category and votes): New (!): 8783 ntdll 15 USB serial ports do not work 13168 -unknown 0 Update the README before the 1.0 release Fixed: 3270 gdi32 16 Problem with minimized top-level windows 5844 -unknown 16 tray minimize 5926 programs 1 Wine does not provide an implementation of winhlp32.exe 5948 -unknown 2 Star Trek: Armada does not install 8898 shdocvw 1 Run Time Error "445": Object doesn't support this action in Europa Knowledgebase 11742 shlwapi 9 Small .net 1.1 app (FastMD5 1.3) fails to start up 12263 opengl 3 Sketchup Cannot initialize OpenGL - ChoosePixelFormat fails Abandoned: 664 user32 8 The help menu functionality inside programs is broken (messaging problem) Here's the full list of current bugs: 2493 comctl32 2 Multi-select listview: Shift-arrow up only selects top two items 11509 crypt32 0 Wordviewer 2003 is unable to open documents encrypted with AES 5535 directx- 21 Planescape:Torment doesn't work 9916 directx- 7 "make test" usually fails 11584 directx- 4 Multiple games crash with stack overflow error 12246 directx- 2 "make test" gives different results with and without warn+heap 12730 gdi32 1 gdi32: some tests fail when X is run in 16 bit mode, but not 32 bit 6519 gdi32 7 Wine blacks out rotated font bitmap 9771 gdi32 47 Steam Friends doesn't work (fails to render correctly or refresh) 5024 kernel32 6 Thief: Deadly Shadows crashes:page fault on read access to 0x0000040c 10147 msi 2 Word Viewer 2003 - Tab behavior differs from Windows 8783 ntdll 15 USB serial ports do not work 10288 programs 0 wine_gecko download hangs sometimes 13071 quartz 0 Flashplayer crashes in a quartz bug 5163 setupapi 15 Office XP 2002 crashes on installation 6095 shdocvw 17 MOTD in counter-strike 1.6 and counter-strike source does not render 8439 shell32 10 Visual Studio .NET (7) install fails 12074 testcase 3 The conformance tests fail on Windows 5402 -unknown 0 Trying to run PhotoStitch 3.1 7404 -unknown 3 ShowWindow(SW_MINIMIZE) should not generate a WM_PAINT message 11281 -unknown 5 CJK input many issues 12097 -unknown 3 Wine 1.0 should not ship out-of-sync resource translations 13168 -unknown 0 Update the README before the 1.0 release 3023 user32 6 Orcad - "Place Part" never tries to put down a part 124 wineserv 2 Review of Wine Server Protocol 9787 winsock 67 Warcraft3 Battle.net Doesn't work (Needs AcceptEx) 12005 wintab32 2 Regression in pressure sensitivity with wizardpen tablet driver and Photoshop 7

Call for help with Wine 1.0 testing
by Jeremy White May 16, 2008

May 16, 2008

Hi Folks, One key goal for Wine 1.0 is that all of its conformance tests run successfully on nearly all systems. We would really like your help in figuring out how close we are to that goal. To that end, if you are comfortable with checking Wine out via git, could you please visit this page: http://wiki.winehq.org/MakeTestFailures and follow the instructions there? (It's really simple; build current git Wine, download + run a script). And, if you're a Wine developer, since Alexandre is away and the code freeze is on, why not look for one of those failures in your own make test results and see if you can fix it? Thanks! Jeremy

re: Right way to cope with user error in make test?

I would also like to see us get a lot tougher about letting people build wine without a full complement of development headers. Maybe our configure should have a sanity check at the end, and abort if something optional but very common is missing; we could add a --no-sanity-check option to enable configuring in that case if it's really intended. - Dan

I have a string of crashes in my maketest. Distro Hardy UbuntuStudio, machine ASUS G1S. Several triaged Ubuntu bugs may be responsible. For instance, my video drivers don't work and I have defaulted to vesa. My soundcard doesn't yet work properly, and there are two open bugs related to this, one to do with my motherboard. HTH.

A console screen buffer sync problem in kernel32/editline.c
by FENG Yu Ning May 16, 2008

May 16, 2008

I have found a synchronization problem in kernel32/editline.c . The problem appears when read and write operations to the console are in different threads. Detail information is here: http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13188 Solution to it should not be difficult. Could any developers look into this and fix it? Thanks very much!

regressions running Photoshop?
by Dan Kegel May 15, 2008

May 15, 2008

Hmm. I just tried running Photoshop CS2 trial and Photoshop 5.5 trial, and both failed on current wine. CS2 complained "not enough DOS memory", and 5.5 complained lcms: Error #12288; Too many tags (2025813777) PS6 works, though.
