Okay, I'll go ahead and pull this one into the trunk.

I'll forward this concern.

Yes, I agree. Ideally I would like to make it per window identifier/device.

Re: problem about writeInBackgroundAndNotify

2009-08-21 Thread Guo Xu
Hi Richard  Thank you very much for your answer.
  But I have tried it again at a different machine which also have Windows7
Build 7127 platform. All my computer have platform of Windows7, I don't test
on any other environment. What about your environment?
  The program of GNUstep I used is downloaded from
http://www.gnustep.org/experience/Windows.html, the  latest stable version.
  It can reproduce the problem with any browser ( Firefox, Chrome ).
  I think the async socket function of GNUstep maybe have some problem on
Windows7.

Great.

Patches that look ok to me:

28492 GSLayoutManager.m


Patches that will need a bit more explanation/rework:

28498 NSOpenPanel.m
Why not change the method _shouldShowExtension: or what is the difference?

28494 NSFont.m
The user default is fine, but will need documentation too.

As I already explained: This change is working around the problem that
we use the same graphic context for a window in different threads. What
we should do is create a specific context for each thread.

2009-08-21 Thread Gregory Casamento
Fred,

The Testplant guys are doing a maintenance release.   The branch is
based on 28233 which was the last version their software was released
against.   They didn't want to take all of the changes from the trunk
just yet for the maintenance release since there is some instability
there with their app.

I've been taking selected fixes, currently only the deadlock fixes
from NSUserDefaults.

I'd appreciate any detailed feedback you have on the others before
inclusion into the trunk.

With respect to the GSContext change, it has helped prevent some
issues with multi-threaded apps in GUI.  I would like to make it less
coarse grained so that it can be brought to the trunk as well.

I can't reproduce that ... when I run the testWebServer program and

I checked the program, I found that if I change the

Does anyone known why the method writeInBackgroundAndNotify cannot

I have no idea why that would make any difference (possibly it was

Are you using an up to date version of GNUstep?  Not that the version  
of the libraries is likely to make any difference ... this code has  
been running 24*7 in high volume applications for years without any  
trouble.

Hi Greg,

could you please explain the purpose of this new branch? I can see that
Doug and Jonathan have started using it. Most of the changes they made
up to now are perfectly legitimate for trunk (Apart from those already
in trunk and that GSContext change. I am unsure about the NSOpenPanel patch)
Who will be porting these changes back to trunk? Currently the commits
on the branch are without Change log entries, how are we going to add these?
  


I think I can agree with Fred here, keeping the ChangeLog would make 
things much easier in the futuere event of a merge.
