Sun Oct 30 12:50:24 1994  Michael Patra  <micky@marie.physik.tu-berlin.de>

	* [objects/bitblt.c]
	BitBlt(): BitBlt is now able to handle any raster operation. If
	the request can't be passed to XWindows directly, it's quite
	slow, though.

	* [*/*.c]
	  [misc/main.c]
	Improvements of the system for handling debug messages. Options are
	now also loaded from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Wine (insert
	*debugoptions: +xxx there if you want to have turn messages xxx on).

	* [include/windows.h]
	Bug fix for window related structures.
	DCB and COMSTAT are affected. They must be packed.

	* [misc/comm.c]
	Bug fix for COM ports:
	Dial and dialog window in terminal.exe now works.
	Non sequential COM assignments in wine.conf should not break now.
	Baudrate can be specified in wine.conf to overcome baudrate limitation
	in mswindow. See sample wine.ini

	window's fonts.
	Put font assignment ini wine.ini.

	* [wine.ini]
	Adding optional baudrate after port name in "serialports" section
	Add new section, "fonts".
	"default" is special key in "fonts" to match any unmatch window font.

	* [if1632/commdlg.spec] 	New file.
	* [misc/commdlg.c] 			New file.
	* [include/commdlg.h] 		New file.
	Begin of an emulated COMMDLG DLL, built-in for now.
	(BTW, if you want to switch between built-in & 16bits CommDlg, only 
	thing you need to do is to put the real/dummy name in file relay.c)

	* [controls/scroll.c]
	* [controls/combo.c]
	* [controls/listbox.c]
	Few bug fixes and/or cosmetic.

	* [misc/audio.c]

	skeleton for 'Animation1' MCI driver.

	* [windows/win.c]
	Add new stub for GetLastActiveWindow().

Tue Oct 25 09:17:25 1994  Olaf Flebbe  (flebbe@tat.physik.uni-tuebingen.de)

	* [if1632/call.S] [tools/build.c]
           Support for ELF format. (Not complete)

Sun Oct 23 00:51:50 1994  Paul Falstad  (pf@zoof)

	* [if1632/user.spec]
	Add stubs for ArrangeIconicWindows(), etc.

	* [if1632/kernel.spec]
	Add IsBad*Ptr() functions.

	* [loader/signal.c]
	Add test_memory(), for use with IsBad*Ptr().

	* [windows/winpos.c]
	Add stubs for TileChildWindows(), etc.

	* [windows/win.c]
	IsWindow() shouldn't crash if it's given a bad handle.
	Add stub for GetLastActivePopup().

	* [memory/global.c]
	Implement the IsBad*Ptr() functions.

	* [controls/listbox.c]
	Return the full longword of the item data in LB_GETITEMDATA.

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Don't let the user select an area past the end of the text.

	* [objects/text.c]
	In DrawText(), the code to delete crlfs also removed multiple
	consecutive newlines.  Also, using DT_CALCRECT didn't return
	the right height, and the width wasn't returned at all.
	This caused MessageBoxes to be missing much of their text.

	* [windows/scroll.c]
	ScrollWindow[Ex] didn't work right with null LPRECT arguments.

Fri Oct 21 21:47:19 1994  Paul Falstad  (pf@zoof.cts.com)

	Fixed inverted logic in EnumProps(), and changed CallBack16()
	call to use new arg format.

	* [windows/win.c]
	Fixed CallBack16() call in Enum[Child]Windows to use new arg
	format; this fixes crashes in enum procedures.

Wed Oct 19 21:30:00 PDT 1994		martin@cs.csufresno.edu

	* [misc/clipboard.c]
	  [windows/event.c]
	  [windows/message.c]
	Added cut and paste between Wine and other X clients via
	the PRIMARY selection. Text only this time.

	* [controls/edit.c]
	EDIT_LineLength, EDIT_TextLine return 0 for lines after last one.

	* [windows/defwnd.c]
	Send WM_SYSCOMMAND to overlapped ancestor window, 
	not the receiver of WM_SYSKEYDOWN

Sat Oct 22 15:01:02 1994  Thomas Sandford <t.d.g.sandford@bradford.ac.uk>

        * [controls/edit.c]
	ClientWidth()/ClientHeight() macros: return 0 if size would
	be negative
	EDIT_StrLength(): takes unsigned char* instead of char*

	* [controls/listbox.c]
	ListBoxWndProc(): in "case WM_MOUSEMOVE" - set lphl at start of
	case instead of in each place required (it was omitted in
	some places causing problems!)

	* [controls/menu.c]
	MENU_CalcItemSize(): don't try to find size of a text item
	if the pointer is NULL

	* [include/heap.h]
	added definition of HEAP_LocalInit()

	* [include/msdos.h]
	removed buggy pointer() macro (use SAFEMAKEPTR() from segmem.h
	instead)

	* [loader/selector.c]
	IPCCopySelector(): added missing flags to shmget() call
	? does this break linux - I added these flags in a previous
	patch but they were missing in the corresponding release ?

	* [loader/signal.c]
	win_fault(): added missing definitions of i, dump for those
	not running NetBSD or linux

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	DOS_GetCurrentDir(): made temp[] static so it can be safely
	returned

	* [miscemu/int21.c,int25.c,int26.c]
	Changed all invocations of pointer() to SAFEMAKEPTR(). Included
	segmem.h where necessary.

	* [windows/dialog.c]
	CreateDialogIndirectParam(): Changed HEAP_Init() call to 
	HEAP_LocalInit(), removed redundant variables

Sat Oct 22 00:29:41 MET 1994		  Dag Asheim (dash@ifi.uio.no)

	* [loader/library.c] [loader/main.c] [loader/ne_image.c]
	  [misc/exec.c] [miscemu/int10.c] [miscemu/int21.c]
	  [objects/bitblt.c] [objects/metafile.c]
	Rewritten more printf's to use the new debugging system, and
	made wine less verbose per default. Use "-debugmsg +module"
	to get (almost) the same behavior as before.

1. User interface
- use GNU's long_getopt
- allow to pass input and output files via command line
- add options for various not-yet-implemented features (Unicode, Win32
format, non-native/native alignment and endianness, compact output
format)
2. Input format
- improve input file processing
Currently, certain pre- and postprocessing is required. winerc
should accept an arbitrary resource script and generate the C file
with as little intermediate files as possible. I'm not sure how to
handle the symbols from windows.h. There are certain options:
* winerc predefines the symbols via the cpp command line
* windows.h is #include'd, and the resulting C code is dropped
(Should winerc do C parsing here?)
* a stripped-down version of windows.h is included,
generated by "grep '^#' windows.h"
* windows.h #ifdef's every C code with _RC_INVOKED
(commercial solution)
- complete input syntax
The goal here is to support every existing resource file which is
accepted by another resource compiler, not to put as much fancy
features into the compiler as possible. Every correct resource file
which generates a parse error can be reported as a bug, a problem
analysis and a fix would be appreciated.
3. Output file format
- add missing resources (fonts, versioninfo, stringtables,rcdata)
- check style handling
The semantics of control and dialog styles is somewhat poorly
documented. For example, I couldn't find a reference that every
control has the WS_VISIBLE and WS_CHILD style, even if they are
not specified. What other styles are considered default?
The existance of default styles implies support for disabling these,
unlike any other proper programming language,
NOT WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP
does *not* mean ~WS_VISIBLE, but WS_CHILD|WS_GROUP (in C semantics).
What other strange semantics are there?
- check cursor and icon handling
At the moment, the .CUR and .ICO files are copied byte-by-byte into
the C array. This is probably wrong, as there are things like cursor
and icon groups. In which way should they be present in a Wine image?
Should we have arrays for every cursor, as well as the cursor group?
Is one cursor per group enough, in the context of X? If so, do we
still need the group?
- create a more compact output file
The current format is well-suited for debugging, as one can easily
match it with a resource' hex dump. A more compact format would use
strings instead of integer lists. A clever algorithm for embedding
values <32 and >127 is required.
- platform independence
Currently, the lay-out of the resources is just as it is in Win3.1 -
packed structures, little endian. Although this format can be used
on any architecture, aligned data and native endianness would speed-up
the resource manipulation and simplify the code. OTOH, this would
break applications that rely on the lay-out. All this is of interest
for the library version only.
- Win32 support
4. Programming Style
- memory management
No memory is freed in the current implementation.
