Sat Dec 23 18:15:59 1995  Alexandre Julliard  <julliard@sunsite.unc.edu>

	* [configure.in] [Makefile.in] [tools/install-sh]
	New 'install' target installs Wine binary, library and man page.
	Library is now more logically named libwine.a.
	Split toolkit/ directory into library (for library code) and
	libtest (for test programs).

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Quick hack to partially support EM_PASSWORD style (avoids
	displaying your passwords on the screen when testing programs...)

	* [configure.in] [controls/menu.c] [include/resource.h]
	  [misc/commdlg.c] [misc/ole2nls.c] [misc/shell.c] [windows/msgbox.c]
	Language is now a run-time option (wine -language xx).

	* [debugger/dbg.y]
	Dump some more debugging info on crash.

	* [misc/profile.c]
	Only consider ';' as a comment if it's the first non-blank
	character on the line.

	* [miscemu/dpmi.c]
	More debugging info for real-mode callback.

	* [objects/gdiobj.c]
	Rewrote EnumObjects() to do the Right Thing.

	* [resources/sysres*]
	New directory containing system resources.

Fri Dec 22 11:24:39 GMT 1995  John Harvey <john@division.co.uk>

	* [win32/file.c] [win32/memory.c]
        Unixware doesn't have MAP_ANON ifdefed out for now.

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
        DOS_GetDosFileName didn't truncate paths starting ./ properly.

	* [tools/build.c]
	Produces assembly code that works with the unixware assembler.

Wed Dec 20 22:22:29 +0100 1995  Morten Welinder <terra@diku.dk>

	* [miscemu/instr.c]
	INSTR_GetOperandAddr: 16-bit addresses should be masked to 16 bits.

	* [misc/dos_fs.c]
	DOS_readdir should always return directories, even if they don't
 	match the file name mask.

Tue Dec 19 18:00:00 1995  Uwe Bonnes <bon@elektron.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de>
	
	* [misc/exec.c]
	Give arguments to winhelp.

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Implemented Interrupt 21 AX=6C00 EXTENDED OPEN/CREATE.
	Created function ExtendedOpenCreateFile.
	Give for some Windows95 interrupts the return value 'not
	implemented'.

Sun Dec 17 16:51:56 EST 1995  Jim Peterson <jspeter@birch.ee.vt.edu>

	* [include/kernel32.h] [include/windows.h]
	Moved the typedefs for SYSTEMTIME and LPSYSTEMTIME from
 	include/kernel32.h to include/windows.h and declared the new Win32
 	API functions Sleep(), GetLocalTime(), and GetSystemTime().
  	Redefined INFINITE as 0xFFFFFFFF if WINELIB32.

	* [rc/rc (new file)]
	Created the shell script 'rc', which should simplify resource
 	compilation.

	* [win32/environment.c]
	Kludged around an undefined reference to wine_files.  This change
 	should be fixed some time.

	* [win32/time.c] [if1632/kernel32.spec]
	Added the functions GetSystemTime(), and Sleep().

	* [miscemu/int21.c]
	Renamed static function GetSystemTime to INT21_GetSystemTime to
 	avoid conflicts with the API function of the same name.

	* [include/wintypes.h]
	Added the SPFMT definition for printf statements.

	* [misc/shell.c] [include/shell.h]
	Changed ERROR_* defines to SHELL_ERROR_*, as they were conflicting
 	with the ones in include/winerror.h.  They should probably use the
 	versions in winerror.h, but I'm not certain, and that can be done
 	later.

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Translated WM_MDIACTIVATE(?,(LOhwnd,HIhwnd)) messages to
 	WM_MDIACTIVATE(HIhwnd,LOhwnd) for WINELIB32.  The ? parameter
 	(boolean) was discarded with this translation.  Translated handler
 	of WM_MDISETMENU(ref,(loHMENU,hiHMENU)) to handle
 	WM_MDISETMENU(loHMENU, hiHMENU) messages in WINELIB32 (ref assumed
 	false, call DrawMenuBar() if desired).

	* [*/*]
	General explicit casts and more rigid typing to remove warnings.

	* [include/winpos.h] [windows/winpos.c]
	Changed return type of WINPOS_ChangeActiveWindow to BOOL.

	* [include/commdlg.h] [misc/commdlg.c]
	Added prototypes for ChooseColor(), CommDlgExtendedError(),
 	FindText() GetFileTitle(), GetOpenFileName(), GetSaveFileName(),
 	PrintDlg, and ReplaceText().
	Renamed the CommDlgExtendError() function to CommDlgExtendedError().
	Made GetFileTitle return a short, as per the API definition.

	* [Makefile.in]
	Added line to clean and distclean that removes temporaries from
 	the include directory.

Sat Dec 16 19:39:14 MET 1995  Steffen Moeller <smoe0024@rz.uni-hildesheim.de>

	* [controls/edit.c]
	Almost rewrote EDIT_GetLineMsg.

Sat Dec 16 13:51:48 MST 1995  Andrew Taylor <andrew@riscan.com>

	* [windows/mdi.c]
	Fixed MDITile() bug that occurs when 0 windows are present or all
	windows are minimized.

Wed Dec 12 23:30:00 1995  Uwe Bonnes <bon@elektron.ikp.physik.th-darmstadt.de>

	* [misc/profile.c]
        Try harder to find files, especially in the working directory.
	Look in $HOME/.wine too and create it there if it isn't found.

README

This is winerc, the resource compiler for the Wine project. It takes the
same input as rc.exe, but generates C files as output. These C files can
be linked together with the application, which can access the resource
data directly instead of using FindResource/LoadResource/LockResource.
The generated C code contains arrays, which represent the resource as if
it was obtained from LoadResource. A table to map resource names to
pointers is also available.
Primary applications are the resources of sysres.dll and a future
commdlg.dll, but the use in the library version is possible as well.
The expected advantage of using winerc over sysres.dll is a speed
improvement, however, actual data to support that claim are not
available. The use of winerc might also simplifies the source code. For
example, the system menu is managed in the function CopySysMenu
(controls/menu.c). A winerc-based implementation would just call
	return LoadMenuIndirect(_Sysres_SYSMENU);
As the resources are already in the Wine image, they are loaded on
demand as any other part of a Unix executable image. 

Current State
This is the first release of winerc. It is alpha software, as the rest
of Wine is. If you use it for replacing sysres.dll, or if you write
other parts of Wine which require resource (like commdlg), you will
probably notice a loss in stability. This is especially true for cursor
and icon resources, as they are unlikely to work at all. See the TODO
file for details.

Copying
The license for Wine applies for winerc as well. Read the files LICENSE
and WARRANTY in the current or any future distribution for details. You
can change any source files, and you can add your own copyright notice,
as long as you leave the existing copyrights intact.

Bug Reports and Fixes
If you find a bug in winerc, you can report it to me,
martin@cs.csufresno.edu (Martin von Loewis)
or to comp.emulators.ms-windows.wine. If you can fix the bug, send the
diffs & ChangeLog to wine-new@amscons.com (Bob Amstadt), or send it to
me, and I will collect the fixes and forward them to wine-news.
