Thu Aug 31 17:19:57 1995  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@sunsite.unc.edu>

	* [Configure]
	Added compile-time option for IPC.

	* [configure.in]
	Added command-line options for language, IPC and malloc
	debugging.

	* [controls/menu.c]
	WM_MENUSELECT was sometimes sent to the wrong window.

	* [debugger/break.c]
	For the 'next' command, only step over instruction that require
	it. This allows 'next' to do the right thing with jmp and ret
	instructions.

	* [ipc/*.c] [memory/atom.c] [memory/global.c]
	IPC can now be configured out at compile-time.

	* [loader/task.c]
	Bug fix in TASK_Reschedule() that could cause a task to be deleted
	twice.

	* [miscemu/dosmem.c] (New file)
	Partial emulation of the BIOS data segment.

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	Trap attempts to access selector 0x40 and remap the access to
	segment __0040H.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Fixed bug in CallTo32_LargeStack() that caused problems when
	compiling Wine with the -fomit-frame-pointer option.

	* [windows/message.c]
	Fixed bug in hardware event handling that could cause some events
	to get ignored.

Sat Aug 26 13:12:59 IST 1995 Michael Veksler <mveksler@vnet.ibm.com>

	* [ipc/README] [ipc/dde.tex]

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Misc fix to int21,ah=40 (write) to match _lwrite().
	AX=0x440A (check if handle is remote) added.

	* [multimedia/mmsystem.c]
	Moved mciSendString to mcistring.c.

	* [multimedia/mcistring.c]
	New file, string interface for MCI (not complete, not thoroughly
	tested).

This file contains information about the current release of Wine.
If you are new to Wine, read the files ANNOUNCE and README and the FAQ
list first.
If you want to contribute code to Wine, read the DEVELOPER-HINTS. The
primary source of information to developers is the ChangeLog (next to
the source, of course).
1. make: No rule to make target foo/foo.o. Stop.
This frequently happens when a prior attempt to make foo.o failed.
In the current setup, make does not terminate then, but continues and
realises the problem later on. 'make' again and watch the output. Be
sure to analyze the problem before you report it to the newsgroup.
2. What are these questions in Configure?
- Emulator/Library: You need an emulator when you want to run MS-Win
binaries. You need a library when you want to compile the source code
of a Windows program.
- Language: Wine can present the system menu in multiple languages. Select
one of English, German, or Norwegian here.
- Inter-process communication: Allows setting up a DDE conversation
between different instances of Wine. Only really useful when
building Wine as a library.
- Malloc debugging: When enabled, the mtrace and mcheck GNU libc functions
are called. You might want to set the MALLOC_TRACE environment variable
to a trace file name. If your system supports another way of malloc
debugging, feel free to add it.
- Config file: Sets the Wine environment. See README for details.
3. BAR.EXE used to work, but does not work anymore
Look at the ChangeLog to see what files have been changed. Try to undo
the particular patch and go partially back to the previous version. If
you have any suspicions, report them to the author or to the newsgroup.
