I have one known bug in the development version, but haven't had time
yet to track it down.
There is some weirdness, probably due to the restructuring of the GUI
code that has happened, perhaps related to threads.
I have a Perl program that uses simulated fork() that works great with
versions of Win32::GUI before the code restructuring, but fails with
subsequent versions.
The symptom is that obtaining Text() from a hidden text field begins
returning undef instead of the appropriate value. I'm not sure if the
problem is in getting or setting the Text() value, but the actual code
for the Text() function is unchanged between GUI versions... and that is
as far as I got in my debugging efforts.
In general, I would agree that it would be good to put out a new
release, and I think that it would be good to call it 1.0. I haven't
been pushing for that to happen right now, though, because of this known
bug.
The problem is definitely in the Win32::GUI code, though, because
changing versions of Win32::GUI is sufficient to make/break my program.
Of course, perhaps there is subtle thing in my code that causes it to
be exercised that only accidentally worked with old versions of
Win32::GUI, and I'd be glad to fix it if it could figure out that it was
something like that.
On approximately 9/27/2004 12:00 AM, came the following characters from
the keyboard of Jez White:
Hi,
I too think there should be a new release. I've been using the latest dev
version for several months with no problems. For those who don't know this
version contains many new events and methods as well more/better
documentation.
There was talk of bumping the version number up to release 1.0 - something
to do with the activestate repository?
Cheers,
jez.

Hi all,
Just wondering when we might get a new release of Win32::GUI. I notice the
files on the Sourceforge homepage are v671 and CPAN still has v558 but
i've
been using v681 from CVS quite sucessfully now with Win32::GUI::XMLBuilder
0.36 with no problems. I would like to make this release (WGX 0.36) public
to CPAN but the accessibility of Win32::GUI is causing some problems for
users.
Any thoughts?
Blair
