Re: [Oorexx-devel] ooRexx 4.2.0 Survey

Rick and Mike - 

It looks like the winDbg debugger supports JIT debugging, which means it should
automatically break in if a crash happens on a system it is installed on.  It is
a free download.  If we supply the .pdb files with a debug build, we should be
able to get good information from a crash on a user's system, if they will go to
the trouble of installing the Windows debugging tools along with the ooRexx
debug build.

Looks good.  I have downloaded latest SDK and reinstated winDbg startup on my
server system (unfortunately it insists on a manual 'OK', but it generally runs
for months at a time so not a problem), and am running the debug ooRexx there.
Will let you know if anything useful comes from it!  
 
Many thanks for the special version!
 
Mike

Re: [Oorexx-devel] ooRexx 4.2.0 Survey

Okay, I have copied ooRexx 4.2.0 main and docs branch to release in svn.  I
renamed the 4.2.0 branch to 4.2 branch to be the fixes branch for 4.2.

I created the 4.2.0 release directory on SourceForge and put the Windows
builds and the misc doc files there.

David -

I have the 4.2.0 directory as "Staged".  If you are logged in as Admin you
can see it, if not you don't see it.  It looks like you can just click the
I (info) icon, uncheck the Staged check box, and save at any time to change
the directory from staged to not statge.  Otherwise it becomes unstaged on
Tuesday.

I didn't do anything with the oorexx-docs directory on SourceForge.  It
still has the 4.2.0 beta docs.

I didn't put a 4.2.0 debug build up yet.  I'm doing a little research and
will probably hold off on that until I'm back in town.
