[crossfire] Release of 1.11 in a week or two

[Olivier Huet]

Hello,


Something like a month ago, I did try some minor modifications on the
windows gtk1 client :
- make it compile on vs2005 (because I didn't have vs 6 installed anymore on
my current pc)
- activate back the sdl support (like it is in on gtk2 client, it's only a
macro use to add)

But I finally did not post it here when I saw that pthread and curl are now
needed and mandatory : I couldn't make a patch without compiling it on the
last svn version.

(BTW I didn't tried thoses but pthread and curl do exists too on windows,
and pthread do probably works well because it is used in at least one good
software : the mpeg 4 (h264) decoder of PowerDVD).
--> I don't have a lot of time these days - not sure if I can find some to
test those libraries.


And still regarding pthread and curl, they looks mandatory now (not always
bracketed in #ifdef). 
--> Is it normal ?


And I don't know if anyone else did test the gtk2 client on windows but
personally, the last I did try is something like the 6881 in svn's trunk :
just before the integration of glade lib. It was on a version I did compile
with the MinGW. It was working very well and fast with OpenGL.


In addition, I forgot to ask here or on bug reports, but on SDL client (both
gtk 1 and gtk 2 - windows versions), when you click somewhere on the ground,
SDL do probably catch the focus instead of gtk : after, you can't use any
key before you switch to another application and go back to the cf client.
--> is it only in SDL's version in windows, or is it the same on linux or
other OS ?

Stopper thing: Windows support.
With the new metaserver and curl, pthread is needed too, so one should take
the time to see how to make everything work nicely.
Also, AFAIK, GTK2 with Kevin's patches hasn't been tested under Windows
either.

Unfortunately I don't have much time lately, so I can't guarantee that I'll
be able to test everything. If anyone has the time and will, of course,
that's another issue :)
