Alexandre Julliard e2abbb1bb3 Release 950319
Sun Mar 19 16:30:20 1995  Alexandre Julliard  (julliard@sunsite.unc.edu)

	* [*/*]
	Implemented a new memory mapping scheme. There's no longer a
	one-to-one mapping between 16-bit and 32-bit pointers. Please see
	file DEVELOPERS-HINTS for technical details.

	* [controls/scroll.c]
	Fixed bug when dragging mouse in horizontal scrollbars.

	* [tools/build.c] [if1632/*.spec]
	Removed support for C callback functions and for re-ordering
	of the 32-bit arguments, as these were never used. This should
	allow a more efficient callback scheme to be implemented.

	* [if1632/olecli.spec]
	Reduced the number of entries to make the 16-bit code fit in 64k.
	This limitation will soon be removed.

	* [loader/ldt.c]
	Rewrote LDT manipulation functions and implemented LDT_GetEntry().

	* [memory/global.c]
	Rewrote Global*() routines to use the new selector allocation
	mechanism.

	* [memory/local.c]
	Rewrote local heap handling to use a Windows-compatible layout
	(not really finished yet).
	Implemented TOOLHELP heap-walking routines.

	* [memory/selector.c]
	Implemented LDT manipulation API functions.

Tue Mar 14 19:50:28 EST 1995 William Magro (wmagro@tc.cornell.edu)

	* [windows/defdlg.c]
	Fixed problem where dialogs closed using the System menu 
        ('Close' item or double click on close box) would
	hang Wine.

Sun Mar 12 14:28:13 1995  Michael Patra <micky@marie.physik.TU-Berlin.DE>

	* [controls/listbox.c]
	Removed most of the statements for sending a notification message
	ListBoxDirectory(), DlgDirSelect(), DlgDirList(): Improved the
	code; Borland's standard file open dialog will work now.
	
	* [misc/main.c], [misc/file.c], [miscemu/int21.c]
	Added support for new command line option "-allowreadonly". If set
	an attempt to open a read only file in write mode will be converted 
	to opening it read only (many programs try to open all files in 
	read/write mode even if they only intend to read it - this might 
	cause a few under problems under an unix-like environment where most 
	files are read only for a "normal" user)

	* [loader/selector.c]
	GetMemoryReference(): Added support for __AHIncr and __AHShift

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	DOS_SimplifyPath(): This routine simplifies path names ( e.g., it
	will change "/usr///local/bin/../lib//a" to "/usr/local/lib/a" )
	match(): rewritten
	
	* [objects/text.c]
	TEXT_NextLine(): Removed a bug in the handling of LF's

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	GetFileDateTime(): Fixed. SetFileDateTime() is still broken.

Sat Mar 11 19:46:19 1995  Martin von Loewis  <loewis@informatik.hu-berlin.de>

	* [controls/menu.c]
	ChangeMenu: defaults to MF_INSERT
	InsertMenu: allow insertion even if position is one after last item

	* [if1632/Imakefile] [if1632/compobj.spec] [if1632/relay.c]
	  [if1632/storage.spec] [include/dlls.h]
	Added stubs for STORAGE.DLL and COMPOBJ.DLL

	* [if1632/user.spec] [windows/message.c]
	InSendMessage: new function

	* [include/neexe.h][include/ne_image.c]
	NE_FixupSegment: fixed handling of additive records

	* [loader/selector.c]
	GetEntryDLLName: return NULL instead of pointer to DLL.0 if not found

	* [loader/signal.c]
	win_fault: Enter debugger on SIGFPE, too

Wed Mar  1 21:47:42 1995  Cameron Heide  (heide@ee.ualberta.ca)

        * [miscemu/int*.c]
        Various minor modifications to the clock tick counter,
        FindFirst/FindNext funcs, and DPB handling.

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.
Short filenames: Some file systems are limited to 11 characters per
file name. Files generated in if1632 will get gracefully translated
names.
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.
