32-bit OLE External Change Log

The intent of this change history is to allow us to give more detailed
information on what has changed to our customers whenever we make an
external drop.  You only need to add an entry if your delta changes
something that an external customer would want to know.  Please include
the following information:

brief description

===============================================================================
04/07/94	CraigWi			all
The stubmgr (ID/RH) now calls IExternalConnection for the addition and
subtraction of strong connections.

03/21/94	CraigWi			all
We now addref the pointer held by the stubmgr (ID/RH).  That is, the first
sentence of the next paragraph has been reversed.

02/25/94	CraigWi			all
Differences with 16bit OLE: CoMarshalInterface table weak does not addref the 
object; there must always be a strong connection or a real addref'd pointer
to hold the object alive.  IPersist is no longer used to determine the clsid
of the handler.  IStdMarshalInfo::GetClassForHandler is the only way this
is provided.  For the time being, all IAdviseSink calls are synchronous;
this changes the order of calls in shutdown cases; all IAdviseSink methods
will be made asynchronous later.

Class-specific handlers are now functional (i.e., 
IStdMarshalInfo::GetClassForHandler is called and that clsid determines
the clsid of the handler on the receiving end).

CoUninitialize releases all external connections; rundowns were supposed to 
do that, but the RPC runtime didn't work correctly.

1)  CoBuildVersion will now return the daily build number (starting around 701)
    as the low word.  This can be used to determine which build of 32-bit OLE
    you are using.
2)  I removed OleGetMalloc (which was exported via the .src files but not
    listed in any public headers).
3)  I also removed OleBuildVersion and aliased it to CoBuildVersion.  If you
    use OleBuildVersion, you will need to relink your apps with ole32.lib to
    get the alias correctly (no backwards compatibility issues since we
    haven't shipped 32-bit OLE yet).

1) Provided option to start an OLE server under a debugger.  This replaces the
now defunct 'Image File Execution Options" lost in retail Nt. Instructions for
doing so are as follows:

    create key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\scm
    and under it create a value: 'Debugger : REG_SZ : ntsd -G'
    (or specify whatever debugger and options you want eg windbg)

    create key HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{your favorite class guid}\Debug
    and under it create a nameless value: '  : REG_SZ : Y'

    Y or y means the server will start under the debugger. Any other value
    means it will not start under the debugger.

02/03/94	Rickhi			all
1) Removed obsolete APIs CoCreateCriticialSection & friends
2) Export IIDFromString and StringFromIID

01/31/94	Rickhi			all
1) Improved support for transmitting STGMEDIUM, HBITMAP, HMETAFILEPICT

01/13/94	Ricksa			all
1) Fix class start up timeout problem
2) Fix server name problem (that they need to be unique within 6 characters)
3) Fix multi-process start up race in oleinitialize
4) Removed SCM window

01/07/94	Ricksa			all
1) Add new ROT implementation
2) SCM updates class DB based on registry changes
3) Treat as cache updated based on registry changes
4) Class start up races fixed

12/16/93	Ricksa			all
Fixed bug with single use class registration and added support for
REGCLS_MULTI_SEPARATE.

12/16/93	ChrisWe		-	all
Fixed several UNICODE handling bugs in internal utilities in ole232.dll that
were preventing clipboard operations from working.

12/16/93	ChrisWe		-	Daytona, Cairo
Fixed several UNICODE handling bugs in OleStd utilities in olestd.c in
the ole2 samples, which were preventing some functionality in the samples
from working.

12/13/93	alext		-	Daytona (x86 only)
First public drop
