The latest news on the frontpage has a incorrect link, "Read more" points to : http://www.winehq.org/?announce=1.95 when it should be 1.96 I'm away from my Linux box tonight or I would send a patch... Can someone fix this? Tom

Hi Francois, the Changelog says wine/test.h, yet you remove wine/debug.h ? Cheers, Paul.

Appdb hackers please read

Hello guys, I have the impression the inactive warning messages have been sent out again, I was convinced they were only sent once, followed a month later by a closed account notification. In any case please solve the problem, I can't take 500+ bounces in my mail box every other day, I'm planning to fill up my gmail box in something like 2040, not mid 2005, and don't want to waste time deleting hundreds of bounces. Ivan.

strange problem with RtlCompareUnicodeString
by Ivan Leo Puoti 12 Feb '05

12 Feb '05

RtlCompareUnicodeString should return 0 if it receives two identical string. But for some strange reason this code http://rafb.net/paste/results/e3tHCg40.html prints this output http://rafb.net/paste/results/SS5U2N81.html Is it a mistake I've missed, or is this a bug in the implementation of RtlCompareUnicodeString? Ivan.

Re: Re: winrash bug

Oh, that's mostly because I was lazy. I'm pretty sure the text says that "if you are on windows95 you should install winsock2". I'm not sure how to detect whether the user needs to install winsock2 or not by looking at dlls. I was planning on adding detection of the windows version and using that as a way of narrowing down who sees the winsock prompt. That doesn't address which version of winsock the user has installed though... I'll put in the windows version check so only 95 users see the winsock2 prompt since thats pretty easy.

How you guys managed to hit "Reply to all" and somehow not include the list, I don't know, but I'll forward :-) ...

Subject: Re: Faster TlsAlloc() or zero_bit_scan
by Dietrich Teickner 11 Feb '05

11 Feb '05

Not all You can every write in c/c++. Sometime You need a call for a library function. I think, that can be one and I think, not only TlsAlloc use a zero_bit_scan. It must be first zero_bit in the first 'bytecount' DWORD from the bitmap addr.

Does this actually make a noticeable difference? Rewriting stuff in assembly for theoretical performance improvements isn't so great, as far fewer people can read/write assembly than C. thanks -mike
