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?

All, I also agree. You'll probably have noticed a number of questions recently on the user list where the answer relied on the development code. If anybody does get around to building a new release, I have added some code to Listview.xs that I would like to get included. Incidentally, has anybody heard from Laurent recently? Aldo seems to have moved on to bigger and better things, Steve Pick disappeared a few months ago and now Laurent has gone quiet. Of course, nobody has any obligation here, but it would be tragic to lose the "keys" to the repository. Although a lot of other people have made contributions, those three appeared to be the main "hackers". Do all the SourceForge developers have full access to the project site? There are a number of names on there, but we don't hear much from most of them. Glenn Munroe -----Original Message----- From: per...@li...

I'm not sure who all has write access to the repository, although I know that Laurent did, and I do. I think Steve also did. I surely appreciate all the work that Steve and Laurent have done to improve Win32::GUI, and am sorry they have not participated here recently. -- Glenn -- http://nevcal.com/ =========================== The best part about procrastination is that you are never bored, because you have all kinds of things that you should be doing. |

Hi all, Sorry, i read mailling list, but have less time for work on Win32::GUI now. But, i can take time for make a new release and publish it on sourceforge. I see two bug report in hacker list : - Color problem - Text problem It's probably good to correct it before. Now how call next release ? Directly 1.0 or made a 0.9 version as testing version before release 1.0.

Hi Laurent, Glad to hear you are still monitoring things here, even if you haven't time for working on it. If we get too far off base, you can warn us anyway! Maybe you know the answer to whether anyone with developer/commit access can make a new release, or if it takes an extra permission? I'd be willing to learn the process. > I see two bug report in hacker list : > - Color problem > - Text problem I'll work on the Text problem as soon as I can, but if someone has some time to look at it, I'm willing to share my code. I haven't been successful to create a small test case from scratch, and I haven't yet tried the other direction, of removing code from my application to reduce it to a smaller test case. I don't know what is the Color problem, have to look back in the list, I guess, if no one else fixes it, after I get the Text problem fixed (if I even can). > It's probably good to correct it before. > > Now how call next release ? > Directly 1.0 or made a 0.9 version as testing version before release > 1.0. Likely we could test as a developer build, by just making a PPM for people to test with, and then go straight to a 1.0 release. > Laurent > > >>On approximately 9/27/2004 4:02 AM, came the following characters from >>the keyboard of Glenn W Munroe: >> >> >>>Incidentally, has anybody heard from Laurent recently?

I'm monitoring as well, but unfortunately I have 0 (zero) time to do anything useful. let me know if you need any special permission on SourceForge, I can setup things easily enough. Laurent, you can also submit the new release to CPAN and proclaim yourself the current Win32::GUI maintainer, I don't mind. I, for myself, would call the release 0.99_01, but feel free to change it as you see fit. I will keep an eye on the project and, when time will come, I'll try to implement (or explain in detail to someone who can implement :-) the ideas that I still have in my drawer. oh, while I'm here: a big thank you to everybody who's involved in keeping this project alive :-) cheers, Aldo |

I look at PAUSE but i don't see how to proclaim me currrent maintainer of Win32::GUI. I can change permissions only for my upload. It's possible to do that only after i upload a Win32::GUI distrib file ? Laurent. |

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.
