Hi Alan Sorry I only just spotted your email. I have just made a commit, but it was technically a bug fix (or at least half of it was), but I won't make any further commits. Phil On 11 March 2015 at 10:49, Alan W. Irwin ir...@beluga.phys.uvic.ca wrote: On 2015-03-10 21:41- Phil Rosenberg

I can now put my hands up and say the regression was me. At least on my Centos machine running the xwin driver results in a blank window and a hang until I checkout before this commit commit 1e402417c1f3e87c391fe428f936153c2a10e8cc Author: Phil Rosenberg p.d.rosenb...@gmail.com Date: Fri Feb 27

Hi Alan and Jim Right, well Jim's patch series is committed and I have just made one more additional commit regarding the buffer which I think now gives us a buffer which is (pretty close to, if not completely) bug free!!! Or at the very least it is sufficient to allow the wxWidgets driver to

Hi Phil: From all your commits last week it appears you are continuing to make progress on fixing the wxwidgets bugs, but I have no idea how much more (if anything) you want to do before release. Also, I rely on you to evaluate Jim's Saturday patch series to decide which of his commits should be

Hi Alan (1) Bad abort operation for the Unkown error which causes substantial memory managment issues. (2) Error message itself needs a spelling change: Unkown -- Unknown (3) regression for -geometry option (4) regression of an added surface pattern artifact for example 8 Issue (4) is

Hi Alan Here is a status update on wxWidgets, but the headline is that I now feel that the wxWidgets driver is at an appropriate stage for release. The issues that still exist are on trello, so you can view them is you want. However I now think that the new driver is of generally the same

Please take a look at his patch series he sent this weekend. One of those patches apparently was to fix a wxwidgets issue so part/all of that series may be exactly what you need, but I am leaving it to you to evaluate which of his commits should be applied to master now, and which should

Hi Phil: Your latest commit (f6dcf09703 = Fixed reentrant behaviour in wxPLViewer...) mostly works. For example, it builds without issues, and examples 1 and 4 (the first two run by the test_c_wxwidgets target) appear to work at run-time with no obvious issues. However, example 8 now has a

Thanks for the heads up Alan, especially the Valgrind output and the reproduction method. Very handy! Regardign the surface pattern artefacts. I had already spotted them and x08.1 is on the trello page. It appears to be a bad antiaiasing issue or rounding issue, basically adjacent polygons don't
