“In any case, del Fedel seems to have lost any interest in the
matter. His response to whether the architecture issues were
resolved was, “Not by me… I made my engine because I was needing
it, but Alexandre [Julliard] doesn’t like its architecture, so it
won’t be merged even if, IMHO of course, it could be done as an
‘alternative experimental driver’ in parallel to the current
winex11 one… But Alexandre didn’t like that solution, ever.”
Other developers nevertheless seem to maintain enough interest to
keep the DIB engine running. As to a question whether del Fedel can
provide his code, his response was, “Can do on next days. But I
need some place where to put the precompiled DLLs… I guess
[neither] the bug421 page nor here are good places for it.”
