Wimp2 0.36 (released 19th May 1999):
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Changes over 0.35:
* We're now at v0.36
* Now has ROM build option
* Fixed bug where Wimp2_EnumerateTasks was (yet again!) returning data for
tasks which had died long ago (thanks to Andreas Walter for this)
My most grateful thanks to Andreas Walter with the StrongARM OS_File
incompatibility problems which plagued Wimp2 for so long.
There are now two Wimp2 modules in this archive - the ROM and non-ROM
versions. The ROM version doesn't write into itself, and so obviously is
suitable for running from a read-only medium. However, it was the OS_File
patch code which wrote into the module (very necessary with patches unless
you use "magic" memory locations unfortunately), so effectively the ROM
version doesn't preempt OS_File operations and the normal one does.
Lastly, the Wimp patch side of things by Andrew Teirney is not included in
this release. At the time of writing, it is at v0.23 and includes some
improvements to the Wimp messaging model which has caused a number of
applications problems, so make sure you download it. It's available from
the Wimppatch website which is linked to by the Wimp2 home page.
Finally, please submit Wimp2 compatibility reports so others can see the
successes and failures of programs. A link to the compatibility site
(maintained by Henry Morgan) is available off the Wimp2 website.
Cheers,
Niall Douglas
