   From: madodelDESPAM@DESPAMptdprolog.net   
      
   There is a new version of ODIN on the Netlabs FTP server.     
      
   ODIN is the Open Source project to provide a win32 API for OS/2 and   
   eComStation.  Originally to allow OS/2 users to run  Windows 32 bit   
   applications.  Now used to port windows applications to OS/2 and eComStation.   
   The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA   
   and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS.     
      
   ODIN website: http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32   
      
   Download: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/odin32bin-20110627-release.wpi

   Changelog:   
   0.6.21659 (2011-06-27)   
   ----------------------     
      
   Dmitriy Kuminov:   
        - kernel32: Fixed crashes in code involving _try/except due to garbage in   
          FS:[0].   
        - kernel32: GetFileAttributesEx?(): Interpret paths like 'X:' as 'X:\'   
          instead of reporting an error, for compatibility with Win32.   
        - kernel32: Propagate exceptions further along the OS/2 chain instead of   
          terminating the application if the last Win32 exception handler (eg the   
          SEH one) returns ExceptionContinueSearch. This lets unhandled exceptions   
          be seen by eg PROCDUMP.   
        - kernel32: SEH: Fixed rare crashes at process termination caused by   
          attempting to unwind the Win32 exception chain twice, the second time   
          after destroying the Win32 TEB block.   
        - kernel32: Fixed: Closing a duplicate of a handle opened with   
          FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE would not perform file deletion as it should   
          if that duplicate was the last reference to the file (e.g. closed after   
          the original handle).   
        - ole32: Fixed a crash when dragging an object that doesn't support   
   CF_TEXT   
          or CF_HDROP over an OS/2 (non-Odin) window.   
        - shell32: Fixed SHGetFileInfoW(): PIDL input argument was misinterpreted   
   as   
          a string and the display name and type name fields SHFILEINFOW were not   
          properly set on output resulting in garbage on the caller's side.   
        - shell32: SHGetFileInfo(): Differentiate between different drive types   
          (network, local, removable etc) when filling the type name field for   
   paths   
          like 'X:\'.   
        - user32: Fixed standard scroll bar functionality (stuck arrow and thumb   
          buttons) broken in February 2010.   
        - dsound: Open audio devices in shared mode to allow other processes play   
          sound when Java applications are running.   
        - wsock32: Don't start a dummy async thread when WSAEventSelect() is   
   called   
          to simply cancel a non-existing association on a socket.   
        - wsock32: Fixed: Zeroing the async task structure at task termination   
   would   
          prevent the VSemaphore destructor to be called which caused memory   
   leaks.   
        - general: Show a nice error message box and exit instead of crashing if   
          WGSS50.DLL or KERNEL32.DLL initialization fails (eg due to low memory).
