Wine Gecko 2.24-beta1

[Jacek Caban]

Hi all,

It's time to do another update of Wine Gecko, so I prepared a new beta
build. It's already on Sourceforge [1]. Until server-side support for
auto install of the package is committed [2], its manual installation is
required [3]. I attached a patch to Wine that is required for the new Gecko.

Anything that uses MSHTML is worth testing. All help with testing is
appreciated!

Cheers,
Jacek

I've tested some websites, and found that these pages have problems:

http://mail.163.com         (it will make gecko crash)
http://huaban.com           (nothing can be shown)
http://douban.com           (no pictures)
http://html5test.com/       (can't load page, and I'm sure that it's
not a regression)

I've tested them with Firefox + flashblock, so I think they are not
caused by flash.

I'm glad to do more tests to contribute Gecko.

Cheers.

Thanks for testing. I confirmed all those bugs while preparing the
release, but they seem to be caused by MSHTML, not Gecko itself, so the
release won't change behaviour here.

Cheers,
