Wine Status - Known To Dos

Window management

• In Desktop Mode all processes started from one wine invocation should be confined to one desktop window.
• Window management needs proper inter-process handling of activation, focus, repaint.
• Workaround for the "no keyboard without Desktop mode" problem.

National Language Support

• Make sure ASCII functions call the Unicode one and not the other way around.
• BiDi support
• Finish WCMD translation
• Add localization to more languages
• Better support of Chinese, Korean, Japanese...

x11drv

• Add support for keyboard layout APIs.

NTDLL

• Finish ntdll/kernel32 separation.
• Implement security APIs and make them use native OS security facilities.

Winsock

• Fix use of direct system calls by Winsock 1 (in particular, select()). Use Wine Synchronization APIs instead.
• More unit tests, e.g. for asynchronous IO.
• Make sure OOB data is handled properly.
• WS2: Implement service programming interface (SPI), use for supporting other services.
• Try to provide more services such as IrDA natively.
• Fix stubs left in ws2_32.spec
