I question this patch before the bump. We've seen stable builds with
what we have now. I started to perform a lot of the same stuff they
did at Redhat, and found that at times things destabilized. I'd
rather get 4.1.0 out with what we have, get the readmes, etc that
we're supposed to add and then do the bump. Past that, then apply all
these patches and start working on an odd number revision again. I
have a lot more to add than just the changing the return NULLs to
return ERRORs. Basically they just cleaned up some minor compiler
errors.

A couple of weeks ago I asked for tests of a large patch submitted from
redhat. We heard back from Jeff with his partial OK, and that's it. I think
these patches should go in and we should fix obvious breakage prior to 4.1 .

I'm in. Any objections?
BTW. I have a version that uses MS tools under the standard gnu build
structure ready for checkin. In addition to making lots of code changes
for MS, I did wrappers for the MS compilers etc. that make them compatible
with the gnu tools, and have MSVC6 projects for everything. I think its a
necessary step before checking in the true Windows version of the exec that
doesn't require Exceed and supports the ActiveDX component stuff.
So. Are we go for 4.1.0?

Subject: [opendx-dev] Which version number to use
Are we going to declare 4.0.10 are 4.1.0?
I am trying to get OpenDx binaries compiled by using Exceed XDK 6.2 and
MSVC
6.0
out of door. MSVC compilation requires a lot of manual editings, if we are
set on declaring 4.0.10 as 4.1.0 then I might bump the version number now,
instead of redoing it again.
After the release of Windows 2000 Microsoft SDK has a lot of new headers
and it required a good amount of OpenDx 4.0.10 source patching. M$ is
about
to
release MSVC 7.0 which would have a lot of Win64 releated library and
header
changes again.
We would need to do a lot of patching again after MSVC 7.0 is released. It
may make binaries
unstable at that time. I prefer to see the DX version bumped now before we
get into another cycle of
unstable binaries due to changes in compilers and libraries.
