Alexandre Julliard ecc3712ddf Release 941122
Sun Nov 20 18:30:06 1994  Alexandre Julliard  (julliard@lamisun.epfl.ch)

	* [controls/scroll.c] [include/scroll.h]
	Rewritten most of scroll-bar code for better Windows look & feel.
	Implemented EnableScrollBar().
	Preliminary keyboard support.

	* [objects/bitblt.c]
	Fixed BadMatch error for BitBlt() and StretchBlt() when reading
	bits from outside the visible region.

	* [objects/oembitmap.c] [include/bitmaps/obm_*]
	Use XPM symbolic colors to load bitmaps. This allows the colors
	of the bitmaps to depend on the system colors.

	* [tools/make_debug]
	Made the make_debug script more robust.

	* [windows/dialog.c]
	Fixed CheckRadioButton().

	* [windows/nonclient.c]
	A few changes to scroll-bar drawing and tracking.

	* [windows/winpos.c]
	Renamed NextWindowFromPoint() to WINPOS_NextWindowFromPoint() to
	avoid confusion, and optimized it somewhat.

Nov 19, 94 Martin Ayotte (wine@trgcorp.mksinfo.qc.ca)

	* [misc/audio.c]
	* [misc/mcianim.c]
	more coding but nothing spectacular.

	* [misc/mmaux.c]
	some coding to access '/dev/mixer'.

	* [misc/midi.c]
	some coding to read .MID files, but it's not playing yet.

Sun Nov 13 19:31:03 1994    James Youngman (mbcstjy@afs.man.ac.uk)

	* [objects/dib.c]
	Reimplemented DIB_SetImageBits_RLE8() so that it would cope with
	bitmaps which don't end 0x00, 0x02 (previously it blew up).  This
	includes some bitmaps output by Paint Shop Pro.  Implementation is
	possibly now too lax.  Please see the notes on the function about
	why.

	* [controls/desktop.c]
	The desktop pattern should be painted if the wallpaper doesn't
	cover the whole screen width OR the whole screen height.

Sun Nov 13 00:07:11 MET 1994	Erik Bos	<erik@xs4all.nl>

	* [objects/dib.c]
	Small bug in DIB_SetImageBits() fixed, bitmaps in 16,24 bpp
	now work.

	* [loader/ne_resource.c] [include/resource.h]
	Some cleanup.

Thu Nov 10 20:44:58 1994  Martin von Loewis  (martin@cs.csufresno.edu)

	* [Configure]
	  [rc/sysres.rc]
	Primitive compile-time support for multiple languages

	* [rc/sysres_De.rc]
	New file

	* [loader/resource.c]
	LoadBitmap: Recognize end of sysresbm properly

	* [rc/Imakefile]
	Rules to compile resources simplified, dependencies changed

	* [rc/sysresbm.rc]
	Don't use sysresbm if using XPM

	* [windows/dialog.c]
	CreateDialogIndirectParam: Reverse Z-order of controls

	* [windows/message.c]
	MSG_TranslateMouseMsg: Fix HTTRANSPARENT handling

	* [windows/winpos.c]
	NextWindowFromPoint: New function

	* [controls/button.c]
	WM_NCHITTEST: Group Box is HTTRANSPARENT
	BUTTON_CheckAutoRadioButton: New function
	BM_SETCHECK: Added call to BUTTON_CheckAutoRadioButton

Mon Nov  7 11:20:26 1994  Paul Falstad  (pf@zoof.cts.com)

	* [objects/text.c]
	Fix hang when using DrawText(..., DT_WORDBREAK) with a word that
	is too long to break.

	* [objects/font.c]
	Don't assume helvetica if there is no font family; let the other
	font attributes decide what font to use.

	* [controls/widgets.c]
	Listboxes and combo boxes need to be notified of double-clicks.

	* [controls/listbox.c]
	  [include/listbox.h]

	scrolling to bottom of list box should display last item at the
	bottom, not at the top.
	
	list boxes need to allocate a separate heap for their item data,
	rather than using the user heap.  Otherwise, it's very easy to run
	out of memory for list box items.

	removed redundant code in ListBoxAddString().  Implemented simple
	version of LBS_SORT.

	Don't put [.] in the list box when using DDL_DIRECTORY.

	* [controls/combo.c]
	Combos should pass CBS_SORT onto their list box.

	* [windows/win.c]
	If window creation is aborted, remove the window from the
	linked lists.

	* [controls/static.c]
	static controls with SS_ICON were always returning 0 from
	WM_NCCREATE.

	Make sure static controls have text to draw before drawing it.

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.
