Alexandre Julliard fa68b75bad Release 950403
Sun Apr  2 18:31:12 1995  Alexandre Julliard  (julliard@sunsite.unc.edu)

	* [Configure] [if1632/Imakefile]
	Removed new build and short names options.

	* [if1632/*.c] [tools/build.c]
	Implemented compiled call-back functions for better performance;
	all the relay code is now done in assembly code generated by the
	build program.
	Relay code is no longer dependent on being loaded below 64K.

	* [loader/resource.c]
	Fixed memory leak in LoadString(). A fix will also be needed for
	other resources.

	* [memory/global.c]
	Implemented global heap arenas, so we can store informations about
	global blocks, like lock counts or owner handle.
	Implemented FarGetOwner() and FarSetOwner().
	Implemented global heap TOOLHELP functions.

	* [memory/selector.c]
	Bug fix: it was not possible to re-use a free selector.

Sun Apr 2 01:34:52 1995 Constantine Sapuntzakis  (csapuntz@mit.edu)

	*  [controls/listbox.c]
	Major work on listbox code
         - Many bugs fixed (still many bugs)
         - More messages supported
         - Code simplified

Fri Mar 31 03:27:16 EST 1995 William Magro (wmagro@tc.cornell.edu)

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Lots of bug fixes related to diappearing text, lost carets,
	highlighting, segmentation faults, occurance of random
	characters, insertion of characters over selection, misplaced
	caret location, display corruption, end of line behavior, etc.

	* [controls/widgets.c]
	EDIT class doesn't want to use CS_PARENTDC flag.

Thu Mar 30 20:58:25 1995   Bernd Schmidt <crux@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>
        
	* [loader/selector.c]
	  FixupFunctionPrologs() should also handle multiple data modules.
	  (this bug only became visible because MakeProcInstance() was fixed
	  in 950319)
	
	* [misc/dosfs.c]
	  Simplified DOS_SimplifyPath.
	  Small fix to DOS_opendir to reuse an entry if an open directory
	  is opened again, to prevent "too many open directories" messages.

Thu Mar 30 12:05:05 1995 Martin von Loewis  <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [if1632/compobj.spec][include/compobj.h][misc/compobj.c]
	CoDisconnectObject: new stub function

	* [include/msdos.h]
	fix DOSVERSION

	* [loader/ne_image.c]
	NE_FixupSegment: Be more generous on additive fixups

	* [if1632/user.spec][misc/network.c]
	Add more WNet* stubs

Wed Mar 29 11:47:22 1995   Bernd Schmidt <crux@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>

        * [controls/listbox.c]
	  DlgDirList(): send segptr instead of linear pointer 
	  in message to static control
	* [controls/menu.c]
	  Tried to implement ownerdrawn menuitems. Doesn't work.
	* [if1632/gdi.spec] [include/windows.h] [objects/font.c]
	  Provide a stub for GetRasterizerCaps()
	* [loader/selector.c]
	  Pass end address instead of length to LocalInit() in 
	  CreateSelectors()
	* [memory/local.c]
	  LocalInit(): If there's already a local heap in the segment, do
	  nothing and return TRUE
	* [objects/linedda.c]
	  Replaced buggy LineDDA() with a Bresenham algorithm. Should work
	  now.
	* [windows/cursor.c]
	  LoadCursor()/CreateCursor(): Cleaned up the mess. Needs some
	  more work still.

Tue Mar 21 17:54:43 1995   Bernd Schmidt <crux@pool.informatik.rwth-aachen.de>

        * [if1632/relay.c] [if1632/callback.c] [include/dlls.h]
	  [if1632/winprocs.spec] [if1632/winprocs.c] [include/winprocs.h]
	  [controls/widgets.c] [misc/shell.c] [misc/commdlg.c]
	  [windows/nonclient.c] [misc/message.c]
	  Added a new builtin DLL that provides 16 bit entry points for all
	  the Def*Procs (DefDlgProc, ButtonProc etc.). OWL programs work
	  again.
	* [misc/shell.c]
	  RegOpenKey()/RegCreateKey() bugs fixed.
        * [loader/ne_image.c]
	  Skipping the initialization of a DLL when CS == 0 was broken.

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.
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.
