Changes for version 0.10 - 1998-02-06

  • Chris Madsen <ac608@yfn.ysu.edu> has rethought and rewritten the IPC related modules. The Win32::Event module is new. In his own words:
    • The Win32::IPC modules
      • Win32::ChangeNotify Win32::Event Win32::IPC Win32::Mutex Win32::Semaphore
    • have been almost completely rewritten and are now at version 1.00. The rather inconsistent ActiveWare interface is still supported, but you should really use the newer and more powerful interface (using lower case method names).
    • Consult the documentation for each module for details on how to convert from the old interface.
    • In addition, Win32::Process has been slightly altered to work with Win32::IPC. Process objects should now work with Win32::IPC's wait_* functions (they were supposed to work before, but they didn't). You will have to load Win32::IPC yourself, because Win32::Process does not.
  • Yet more OLE fixes from Jan Dubois <jan.dubois@ibm.net>.
  • NetAdmin enhancements from Jutta Klebe <jmk@exc.bybyte.de>
  • Updated FileSecurity to base version 0.67.
  • Win32::Registry sports additional functions that correspond to the Win32 Registry API functions.
  • Misc. changes
    • fixed buggy InitiateSystemShutdown()
    • New compatibility XSUBs: MsgBox(), LoadLibrary(), FreeLibrary(), GetProcAddress(), RegisterServer(), UnregisterServer()
  • Other minor bugs have been fixed. See "Changes" files in individual module subdirectories.
