Hi everybody,
I am sorry to announce that I won't be able to continue as wine's winsock maintainer. I will be lacking the time and power to fulfill a maintainer's duties appropriately. I guess I have already failed to do so in the last 2 months.
There have been few bug reports lately, so the code isn't completely broken for my successor, I hope. On the other hand, I would have liked to clean up some other things like the select() call and the transport provider interface. The fact that I didn't have the time to get going on these also shows that I'd better hand this off to someone else.
I'll be coming back here, and perhaps I'll have more time for contributions some time in the future. In any case, I'll be available for questions or complaints about the winsock code under this email address and under my private email, mwilck@freenet.de. I have certainly not lost interest in Wine, Linux, and Free Software.
Working with you guys has definitely been great fun and I have learned more than in years before.
See you later, Martin
