Sun Feb 18 16:35:54 1996  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@lrc.epfl.ch>

	* [controls/desktop.c]
	Look for the wallpaper file in the Windows directory.

	* [controls/menu.c]
	Fixed swapped parameters in SetMenuItemBitmaps().
	Create a separator in MENU_SetItemData() when the string is NULL.

	* [file/dosfs.c]
	DOSFS_FindNext: don't return '.' and '..' in a drive root dir.

	* [files/file.c]
	Added a DOS_FILE structure to store per-file information (not
	really used yet).
	Fixed _lread and _hread to check the size of the buffer before
	calling Unix read() to avoid EFAULT error.

	* [misc/exec.c]
	Return TRUE in WinHelp() for HELP_QUIT to quiet Notepad on exit.

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	Call DOSMEM_Alarm() in INSTR_ReplaceSelector(). This should fix
 	programs that poll the BIOS counter, provided they reload the
 	selector on every read.

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Re-implemented FindFirst/FindNext for FCB calls.

	* [windows/message.c] [windows/winpos.c]
	Merged MSG_GetWindowForEvent() and WINPOS_WindowFromPoint().

	* [windows/nonclient.c] [windows/win.c] [include/windows.h]
	Added a per-window WIN_MANAGED flag; only windows that have a
	dialog frame or a sizing border are managed.

Sat Feb 17 18:25:00 1996  Thomas Sandford <tdgsandf@prds-grn.demon.co.uk>

	* [if1632/Makefile.in]
	Added -g flag to compilation of .c files generated from *32.spec.

	* [if1632/gdi32.spec]
	Numerous additional functions implemented.

	* if1632/user32.spec]
	wsprintfA maps to vsprintf not wsprintf
	Numerous additional functions implemented.

	* [include/gdi.h] [objects/gdiobj.c]
	New #define MAGIC_DONTCARE added. This is used in
	GDI_GetObjPtr to enable getting a pointer to a GDI object of
	unknow type.

	* [win32/gdi32.c]
	New file.

	* [win32/param32.c]
	WIN32_MoveToEx() - handle NULL pointer argument.

	* [win32/user32.c]
	USER32_InvalidateRect - handle passing of a NULL pointer.
	USER32_SetTimer - New function.

	* [files/directory.c]
	Fixed DIR_Init() (off by one in allocation of space for
	environment variables).

	* [files/drive.c]
	Added <sys/types.h> to #includes (prerequisite for <sys/stat.h>
	on FreeBSD).

Fri Feb 16 10:26:56 1996  Andreas Kirschbaum <ank@rbg.informatik.th-darmstadt.de>

	* [controls/menu.c]
	Memory leak plugged.

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Erase space with function ExtTextOut(). This eliminates the use of
 	xmalloc().  Memory leak in EDIT_WriteText plugged.

	* [debugger/db_disasm.c]
	Operand for scas now is di.

	* [files/profile.c]
	PROFILE_GetSection was copying too much data.
	PROFILE_GetSection now returns the correct value. It was returning
 	the number of unused instead of used bytes.

	* [objects/dc.c]
	Corrected two typos in comments.

	* [objects/font.c]
	FONT_MatchFont didn't return if it couldn't find any font.

	* [objects/oembitmap.c]
	Free object only if it has been allocated.

	* [windows/scroll.c]
	Memory leak in ScrollDC plugged.

Tue Feb 13 11:17:00 1996 William Magro  <wmagro@tc.cornell.edu>

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Implemented ES_NOHIDESEL style, shift+click selection,
 	shift+{arrow,home,end,pgup,pgdn} selection.  Optimized
	(de)selection drawing.  Changed selection drawing to use correct
 	system colors instead of inverting.  Fixed deleting or backspacing
 	across a '\r\n' end of line pair.  Selection now anchors
 	correctly. Fixed text leaking and extra garbage problem bug
 	uncovered by change in class style in wine960131.

	* [controls/widgets.c]
	Class flags now match those of Windows.

Mon Feb 12 21:28:19 1996  Martin von Loewis <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [controls/widgets.c]
	WIDGETS_Init: RELAY32_GetEntryPoint does not take a string anymore.

	* [if1632/Makefile.in][if1632/relay32.c][include/relay32.h]
	comctl32.spec ole32.spec winspool.spec: new files.
	RELAY32_Init: call initialization of new DLLs.

	* [if1632/gdi32.spec][if1632/kernel32.spec][if1632/user32.spec]

	new relays.

	* [if1632/shell32.spec]
	shell32.spec: renumbered all functions to take into account ordinals.
	These seem to be identical between NT and Win95.

	* [include/dialog.h][windows/dialog.c]
	xBaseUnit,yBaseUnit,DIALOG_DoDialogBox: made non-static.

	* [include/handle32.h]
	New handle types VRANGE, HEAP, HEAPITEM.

	* [include/pe_image.h][loader/pe_image.c]
	struct w_files: new field builtin.
	PE_FindExportedFunction: support ordinals.
	PE_GetProcAddress: call RELAY32_GetEntryPoint for builtins.
	fixup_imports: support ordinals.
	PE_LoadImage: prefer directories over segments.

	* [include/resource.h][win32/resource.c]
	FindResource32: changed parameter from LPCTSTR to LPCWSTR
		check LANG_NEUTRAL if LANG_ENGLISH fails.
	LoadAcceleratorsW,SizeofResource32,AccessResource32: 
		disabled because it's broken.
	Casted to and from LPWSTR at various places.

	HeapCreate: implemented on top of VirtualAlloc, which does not work yet
	HeapDestroy, HEAP_GrowHeap, HeapFree: new functions.

	* [win32/memory.c]
	Support for VRANGE_OBJECT. This is not yet called from any place,
	and needs more platform specific support
	MEMORY_FindVrange, MEMORY_IsVrangeFree, MEMORY_InsertVrange,
	MEMORY_AllocVrange, MEMORY_ReleaseVrange: new functions.

	* [win32/user32.c]
	WIN32_CreateWindowExA: don't GlobalAlloc for integer class and window
	names, as in dialogs.
	Implemented dialog functions (see user32.spec).

	* [include/windows.h]
	Added definition of DEVMODE structure, although it's not yet used.
  	Modified various API functions from CreateDC() to Escape(), in
 	order to make them more compliant with the strict API definitions.

	* [include/wintypes.h]
	Added 'typedef char TCHAR'.  It probably should be defined as
	'short', but then we would have to support such characters.  Also did
	'typedef const TCHAR* LPCTSTR' and 'typedef TCHAR* LPTSTR'.
	Also defined WNDENUMPROC, FONTENUMPROC, GOBJENUMPROC, PROPENUMPROC
	MFENUMPROC, and HGDIOBJ.

	* [misc/commdlg.c]
	Patched a bug that occurred in the internal COMMDLG module for the
 	FileOpen(), FileSave() and FileSaveAs() functions.  The file-type
 	combobox is now handled correctly.

Fri Feb  2 22:52:58 1996  Roman Dolejsi  <roman@sorry.vse.cz>

	* [resources/sysres_Cz.rc]
	Added support for Czech [Cz] language.

Thu Feb  1 00:35:04 1996  Philippe De Muyter  <phdm@info.ucl.ac.be>

	* [objects/font.c]
	FONT_matchfont : for fixed-spacing fonts, allow 'c' if 'm' fails;
	for variable-spacing fonts : allow '*' if 'p' fails; if asked lfHeight
	is -1, assume 0.
	CreateFontIndirect : if font parameter is NULL, issue an error message.
	CreateFont : null-terminate lfFaceName.
	ParseFontParms : debug code turned off : too verbose.
	InitFontsList : recognize *-c-* fonts as fixed-spacing fonts.

	* [objects/color.c]
	ColorToPhysical : admit 0xff...... COLORREF's as 0x00...... ones.

Plaintext

This is winerc, the resource compiler for the Wine project. It takes the
same input as rc.exe, but generates C files as output. These C files can
be linked together with the application, which can access the resource
data directly instead of using FindResource/LoadResource/LockResource.
The generated C code contains arrays, which represent the resource as if
it was obtained from LoadResource. A table to map resource names to
pointers is also available.
Primary applications are the resources of sysres.dll and a future
commdlg.dll, but the use in the library version is possible as well.
The expected advantage of using winerc over sysres.dll is a speed
improvement, however, actual data to support that claim are not
available. The use of winerc might also simplifies the source code. For
example, the system menu is managed in the function CopySysMenu
(controls/menu.c). A winerc-based implementation would just call
return LoadMenuIndirect(_Sysres_SYSMENU);
As the resources are already in the Wine image, they are loaded on
demand as any other part of a Unix executable image.
Current State
This is the first release of winerc. It is alpha software, as the rest
of Wine is. If you use it for replacing sysres.dll, or if you write
other parts of Wine which require resource (like commdlg), you will
probably notice a loss in stability. This is especially true for cursor
and icon resources, as they are unlikely to work at all. See the TODO
file for details.
Copying
The license for Wine applies for winerc as well. Read the files LICENSE
and WARRANTY in the current or any future distribution for details. You
can change any source files, and you can add your own copyright notice,
as long as you leave the existing copyrights intact.
Bug Reports and Fixes
If you find a bug in winerc, you can report it to me,
martin@cs.csufresno.edu (Martin von Loewis) or to
comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. If you can fix the bug, send the diffs
and ChangeLog entry to julliard@lrc.epfl.ch (Alexandre Julliard).
