Well in this case we need to provide financial support to BWW that helps to finish QT.
Being at Sigurd Fastenrath his OS/2 meeting in Cologne about 3 weeks ago, Lewis Rosenthal gave a Q&A to the people. He mentioned USB 3.0 is close to going into beta. And they are looking at UEFI.
What do you mean with bugs about loading DLL's high. Are these bugs reported to Arca Noae ?

QtCore 5.11 porting and testing finished
We are proud to announce that we finished porting *and testing* the QtCore module of the Qt library version 5.11 for OS/2! This makes the text-mode part of Qt officially ready to go (including the QtNetwork, QtXml and a bunch of other utility modules). The test suite for QtCore contains 189 test units with a total amount of almost 70k tests! The release build passes 68666 tests (with only 2 occasionally failing because of the too coarse OS/2 system timer — this is to be fixed soon). The debug build passes 68572 tests (with only 2 failures as well, for the same reason). This is quite a number. Apparently, Qt5 is going to be the best Qt for OS/2 port ever.
We at bitwise wish you all Happy New Year! We also want to thank those of you who supported us through all the past years! We are looking forward into 2019 where we plan to finish Qt 5 and bring a new browser experience to the OS/2 platform (among other nice Qt 5 applications out there).

The DLL issue was reported by Rich Walsh (ticket 2194). Also I received the message above from BWW last night. Yet another reason to donate to them. Best wishes for 2019.

Basically when DLLs are loaded high and then unloaded, the address space is not released. Rich found the issue and filed an issue with Arca Noae.

Yes, that's it. BTW: Yesterday, I found docs I noted months ago about an EPM DLL whose memory isn't released after unloading if its code was loaded high. That might be related. But my skills about that are bad, so I haven't reported it.

I know. Announcements are important. Dave is already years behind of what he has planned and what was announced. (That's normal when it comes to software.) What counts is what was released and what works.

Its not that difficult if that would be stored centraly.
Martin do you remember that website I am talking about ?

Hi Roderick

Happy New year to all !!
