Most of them concerned the graphics primitives and have been fixed. I also changed some minor "ergonomy" misbehaviors. To sum up (fixed bugs are marked by a +): + The most ennoying bug was that reported by Gerard Lavau: a GPF occurred sometimes under Win32s when leaving CAML... + Closely related to the previous one: when launching then quitting CAML many times, the colors of the desktop where modified: title bars became white, the font changed, ... This bug had exactly the same cause than the previous one. + To put it bluntly, the bug reported by Yan (graphics were sometimes displayed in other windows) *seems* also fixed: it doesn't occur any more on my test machines (under 32s, 95 and NT). I have an explanation and a solution for it, but it is not completely satisfactory... I feel my solution is correct but my explanation is doubtful... - I still never could reproduce Martial Tarizzo's bug: clear_graph hangs his system ! Has anyone else encountered the same problem ? +/- Finally, I still have an "amazing" bug, which occurs once again only under 32s: the display of the graphics window sometimes temporarily changes the font of the other windows. A redrawing of these windows is necessary in order to restore their original fonts. Unhappily again, this bug doesn't appear when I compile CAML in debug mode... To conclude, I still have one minor bug (the last one), and a most annoying one (Tarizzo's bug) that I'd first like to reproduce ! I'll put a new release of camlwin.exe (compiled in debug mode, it will be far slower) on our ftp site tonight. If people that had trouble could try this release and report the results, it would be a great help. Thanks to everybody for their support and bug reports. I sincerely apologize for having caused so many PCs to reboot ! Sincerely, Jean-Marie
