Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] About time for a release?

[Glenn L. <pe...@ne...>]

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.
