All,
I just did a final quick tidy-up and tagged the HEAD revisions as
'Win32-GUI-1_02'.
I hope we'll have a release on SourceForge very soon.
Regards,
Rob.

Reini,
OK, I've not had a chance to keep up with your tests this week, and
trying to catch up now find myself mightily confused. Some of the
patches seem to be against the source that I called 1.01_03, some seem
to be incremental (probably on the previous set of patches?). To add
to my confusion, my local source has changes beyond the 1.01_03 source
that you have.
As far as I did get I was failing one test, but I can't tell if that's
because I didn't apply your patches correctly. However, what you are
doing is great, and I want to encourage you to continue, but I am not
going to get the time in the next couple of weeks to do much more
than just keep up with the mail on this list.
I do want to get a V1.02 release out though. Here's what I propose:
(1) I've put a copy of the current CVS HEAD up at
http://www.robmay.me.uk/win32gui/. It's identified as 1.01_04. Reini,
I'd very much appreciate it if you can confirm whether this code still
compiles for you under both your Cygwin and MSVC environments. The
other MSVC6 users on the list appear to have no issues.
(2) Everyone, a quick show of hands as to who would be happy for the
current CVS HEAD to be used for the 1.02 release. Assuming we have no
negative feedback by the end of the week (when I am next in front of
my computer), then I will update the version to 1.02, tag the current
HEAD as release 1.02.
(3) Glenn L (I hope I got the right Glenn) - you offered to do the
build under MSVC6 for both Perl 5.6 and 5.8. Are you still happy to
do this? If you are, then I will mail you once I have done (2). If
you can then let me have the PPMs, Aldo has given me access to the
sourceforge file release system and I'll see if I can drive it and get
the files up for everyone to use. Suggestions as to where
announcements should be made welcome - is there a 'usual' set of
places used by Aldo, Laurent et al.?
(4) Once I have a bit more time, I'll work with Reini to get the test
suite updated. I'm sure that doing this will turn up more issues than
those already found by Reini, and that should drive a following release.
Reini, I hope that leaving your tests out of this release is OK with
you, but I simply don't have time to deal with it now, and I had set
expectations of a release this week.. (If anyone else has time, and
we can get some confidence that the tests pass in the various
different environments by the end of the week, then I'd be happy to
take them.) I do agree with Jez, that going forward, if you would
like to contribute the easiest way for everyone would be for you to
mail Aldo and get your own CVS access. At a minimum I think that you
should get yourself anonymous CVS access so that you can keep a local
source tree synchronised with the changes others are making - I can
provide help with this if you need it.
Regards,
Rob.
