Subject: [Win4Lin-users] Win4Lin 3.0.5 Available.
> Win4lin 3.0.5 is now available via the Installer's update feature. For the
> curious, this
> will be rpm Win4Lin-5.2.5b-d.i386.rpm. It has one significant fix, see
below.
>
> Changes in 3.0.5
>
> Fix for performance problem
> · "Win4Lin 3.0 slower than 2.0". This problem was due to a certain
> change in the memory paging implementation from Linux 2.2 to Linux 2.4
that
> resulted in some Win4Lin code working inefficiently. Fixed by optimizing
> for the case that was being done inefficiently. (bug report # 585)
>
>
> Changes in 3.0.4
>
> Fix for Internet Explorer
> · Internet Explorer becomes very slow and fails to load images after
> a period of use. (On 2.4 kernel systems only.) (bug report # 597)
>
> Changes in 3.0.3
>
> Fix for Freelance
> · When running a slideshow in Freelance, if the slide show is run in
> a rapid manner, it will hang the session completely. Even Shift-F12 will
> not work. (bug report # 583)
> · Error in Freelance when choose pagesort. (bug report # 588) (This
> problem apparently can occur on native windows too sometimes according to
> the Lotus Website. However, the divide by zero can be caught
worked-around,
> so we do.)
>
> Changes in 3.0.2
>
> The 3.0.2 version had fixes related to installing evaluation versions.
>
> Changes in 3.0.1
>
> The 3.0.1 version had lots of changes, a lot of them related to installing
> the downloaded version. (The 3.0.1 version was the first download version
> of Win4Lin 3.0). This included adding support for Mandrake 8.0.
> Important bug fixes:

DIED.

> · Fix problem with shutdown, or network card removal, on Red Hat 7.1
> systems.
