So while the translators are busy updating Wine's translations, what better time than a freeze for developers to fix Wine's conformance tests, particularly on the new WineTestBot:
It does not have as many VMs as the old one but it does have some interesting new configurations: * Two Windows 8 VMs: 32 and 64 bits. These have a lot of failures. * A Windows 7 VM with IE 10 (and one with IE 9 for comparison). * A Vista VM configured for Arabic, a right-to-left language. There's also a Japanese Windows 7 VM. * Two VMs with no sound card (the 64-bit Vista and Windows 2008 ones).
These new configurations have uncovered quite a few test failures. But the more traditional configurations have some test failures too which is annoying and warrants investigation to figure out what's wrong: otherwise there will be trouble when patches have to go through the new WineTestBot.
So I'm hoping some kind souls (or bored developers) will take it onto themselves to chime in and fix some of these test failures, or figure out what is causing them.
Here are some known issues: * Bug 24631 - listview NM_HOVER tests sometimes fail http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24631
* Bug 33718 - comctl32:propsheet Add button test failure http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33718
* Bug 33719 - comctl32:propsheet custom window proc test failure http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33719
You can also find test results from the new WineTestBot on the WineTest site: look for tags starting with 'newtb-'.
And for more information on the VMs configuration and some other known test failures go to this Wiki page:

Note that the VMs are missing some Windows dlls (atl100, localspl, msvcp100, qmgr). Information on the best way to get those is welcome.
