Hi all,
After about a year since the last release, I'm happy to announce that we have a new Wine Gecko packages ready for testing. I'm not attaching a patch this time, because it's quite big and will change over next few weeks (I will be submitting some of those changes, so the patch would be invalid soon). I set up a Wine fork at [1] instead. It contains snapshot of my development tree on top of Wine, so be prepared for forced updates. Let me know if you'd prefer it to be in a different form.
This update catches up on development made for 10 Firefox releases that happened meantime. There were many problems that needed to be solved for this to happen. There were tree wide changes breaking our build config as well as API changes, that needed to be fixed. We still have long term problem with API that we use for embedding Gecko (mostly DOM APIs) that is slowly removed from Gecko. We need a long term solution, which means working on auto generated C/C++ bindings based on the new, WebIDL files. I may write a separated mail about that if there is an interest.
I decided to make this beta from Gecko tip at the point where it's branched. I usually waited until Gecko enters beta, but I want to catch up on development as much as possible this time. How the final release will look like depends on how testing goes. It will not be sooner than after a bit of Firefox beta.
As usually, everything that uses MSHTML is an interesting testing target. Let me know if there are any problems.
Thanks, Jacek
