Wine Gecko 1.8-beta1
by Jacek Caban Sept. 4, 2012

Sept. 4, 2012

Hi all, It's time for another Gecko update. I've uploaded to SourceForge [1] new Gecko builds. These are based on Firefox 16 beta. Other than tons of changes inherited from Firefox and usual fixes to keep it working well for us, it brings a few visible fixes: - Proper <noscript> tag handling - Synchronous ActiveX loading - Possibility to properly call APIs requiring JSContext - Possibility to implement HTMLStyleElement::styleSheet property As usually, to test it you need the attached patch and Gecko build placed in the right place [2]. Any help with testing is appreciated! On related note, I seriously consider dropping debug builds and replace them by unstripped release build or even just a separated package containing only debug symbols for the release build. Here are my thoughts about reasoning (in random order): - People use debug build mostly to retrieve better backtraces. Unstripped builds also give that ability. - If someone really needs debug build, it's easy enough to build it himself (and that's usually a good idea anyway) - Debug builds are seriously different than release build, so it occasionally exposes different set of problems, leading to invalid assumptions. This is really something for developers rather than users. - It costs my time spent builds and tests. And I consider it a serious matter. Amount of work needed to keep Gecko relevant is constantly growing. I try to mitigate it by doing long-term improvements upstream, automating the process and improving my hardware, but that has its limits. And the time spent on Gecko maintenance (as in pure maintenance, not real improvements) costs Wine in terms of improvements I could make in this time. If someone has a reason to keep debug builds, let me know. Any comments are welcomed. Thanks, Jacek [1] http://sourceforge.net/projects/wine/files/Wine%20Gecko/1.8-beta1/ [2] http://wiki.winehq.org/Gecko

vcomp.dll, vcomp90.dll missing on testbot?
by Dan Kegel Sept. 3, 2012

Sept. 3, 2012

I'm trying to test a better set of stubs for vcomp.dll and its ilk, but those dlls don't seem to be installed on testbot. Is vcomp{,90,100}.dll not installed by default on Windows? If not, should we install it on a few of the VMs?

You also need to split the patch, and write some sort of table-driven tests so you can test a lot more cases, the ones you have are clearly not sufficient. -- Alexandre Julliard julliard(a)winehq.org

I've CCed Jeremy Newman because I'm guessing the site admin would have to remove it. As for redirecting to http://www.winehq.org/cvs, since that was designed as a notice page for people trying to browse the source code, I was picturing just redirecting the links to http://source.winehq.org/git and deleting http://www.winehq.org/cvs as only WWN issues and news would still have dangling links. I don't want to remove it if there's another reason for keeping it though. - Kyle

Moving pages to/from wiki
by Kyle Auble Aug. 29, 2012

Aug. 29, 2012

I'm starting to work on moving static pages to and from the wiki, but I wanted to ask for opinions on a few changes first: 1. Move all static IRC pages to the wiki or add info from the wiki to the static templates? The static pages only mention #winehq and don't describe guidelines, but IRC details shouldn't change much right? 2. For the static About page, some languages also have wiki versions. Do we want to keep the sparser versions currently in use, or add the more detailed information from the wiki version? Both versions seem well-written, and exist for English, Hebrew, & Spanish (I deleted the Polish wiki version; it was a duplicate). 3. Do we still need the static "cvs" page, or should I just redirect any links to it, then delete? On a related note, the WineHQ ToDo on the wiki still claims that a browser for the old CVS source tree is lurking on the site somewhere. Is that true, or do I need to cut that line from the ToDo list? 4. Since licensing tends to be really static could we just redirect the WikiLicense page to the static license page, or should they be kept separate? While I'd think it wouldn't be too hard to reword the static page's intro to include other projects, I'm leery of editing any legal-ese without asking first. By the way, the WikiLicense page says it's LGPL v2.1 in the intro text, but the included license actually looks like v2.0 of the GPL with a modification for libraries. If the wiki version of the page should stay, I'll put in a copy of v2.1 - Kyle
