[<fel...@mo...>]

Aldo,

I noticed that when I do a

ppm install --location=http://dada.perl.it/PPM Win32-GUI

I will get Win32-GUI version 0.0.502.  I don't get Win32-GUI version 0.0.558.

Are you not placing this version in your PPM repository?

Felice

hello perl-win32-gui-users,

version 0.0.558 is out!
this is primarily a bugfix version, and also
please note that I'm not sure how stable it is
(read on for more details).

bugs fixed:
- the infamous memory leak problem is now gone
  (everybody say: thank you Sam!!! :-)
- fixed the -filter option to Get(Open|Save)FileName
  (again, thank you Sam :-)
- the warnings from Win32::GUI::Dialog are now gone

new features:
- colors can now be given in the HTML notation too
  (eg. "#E3E2CC")
- the module is generally a lot faster

and now the bad news :-)
I've rearranged most of the module internals so that
it uses more C and less Perl to do its job (hence the
speed increase). I'm not sure now that everything
works correctly yet (pride.pl in the samples directory
seems to freeze, but I haven't noticed any other
disturbs). please make all the tests that you can,
and report anything that used to work and doesn't
anymore, so that I know where to look :-)

BTW, the module is available on:
- SourceForge
- dada's perl lab (http://www.dada.it)
- CPAN
hey, releasing this beast it's becoming a lot of
work :-)

cheers,
Aldo

gimme time! this is not an automagical process ;-)
BTW, I'm not sure yet that 0.0.558 is stable enough for a
PPM distribution. I would like to get some feedback from
'people with a C compiler' that can build the module and
test it, before giving it out to everybody.


cheers,
Aldo

Ah, you mean me :)
okay: 
using my selfbuilt MSVC - GSAR perl 5.005_02 built for MSWin32-x86-thread

then cl blabla...

in which perl was 'SvPV_nolen' introduced?
the prev GUI.xs had

instead of the new

yes, sorry, SvPV_nolen was introduced in 5.6.0.
you need to add these lines:

#ifndef SvPV_nolen
#    define  SvPV_nolen(x)   SvPV(x, PL_na)
#endif

BTW, if you wanna go really wild, I have set up
the CVS server, so you can grab the latest development
release directly from there ;-)

thanks, 
my firewall doesn't let the cvs port go through, but
simple http browsing for the xs via cvsweb is okay for me.

(BTW: 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/perl-win32-gui/Win32-GUI/GUI.xs

I  have compile version 0.0.558 under win98, with VC++ and ActivePerl 522.
No problem during compilation. (message :  *** Using the 5.005 Perl Object
CPerlObj class)

But when i start any win32gui script, i have a runtime exception.

For example, with hello.pl and strong debug output.

It's probably the GetWindowLong call before a SetWindowLong.
The first message is a WM_GETMINMAXINFO and not a WM_CREATE.

yes, probably something with the PerlObject not initialized
correctly. I'll look into it, thanks for pointing this out! :-)

fixed, the new release is available on CVS.
if you are not familiar with CVS you can download the updated
GUI.xs from:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/?cvsroot=perl-win32-gui
