Hi Joel,
From: Joel Holdsworth joel@airwebreathe.org.uk
How do you deal with this problem, because presumably not every test contributor has VMs ready to confirm the behaviour of 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. Do I submit the patch as-is, in the knowlege that it will cause failures in old windows? Presumably not - so what do you suggest I do?
I have a whole bunch of VMs set up specifically for Wine testing, so feel free to send me patches you think might behave differently on different Windows versions. One caveat: I personally stopped caring about 9x when Win2000 came out, so I'm not testing on those versions.
The good (but unsurprising) news is that your new tests pass on all my XP (4 different configurations) and Win2k3 (also 4 different configurations) machines. I don't see failures on NT4, but perhaps the test was skipped there? The bad news is they failed on W2k, Vista and Win2k8. I've attached the test reports for all failures.
Ge.
