BridgeCentral

What works

• Installing via type "2." option (connection to club database on DBf server), including acceptance of the club specific "DBf kode" (security code to central db) on first connection, remembered afterwards
• Creating a new tournament
• Uploading HTML with "Startdata" (list of players etc.)
• Printing startdata as well as final result (to PDF via a Linux Cups-PDF printer queue)
• Exporting a "Skifteplan" (movement scheme) to .lcd file

What does not

The button "Vis info om skifteplan" (show movement scheme info) doesn't show anything -- except that you can find the URL that it tried to launch in the wine log output (e.g. 'journalctl -b | grep err:winebrowser').

Note that the following minor bug (mentioned in testing for ealier wine version) also occurs on Windows 10, so not specific to Wine: slight cut-off of the right side of tournament total scores printed to PDF.

Workarounds

Bug 26226 still applies: you have to either "winetricks msxml3" before installing, or, as I always do, build Wine from source with my patch from the bug report applied. Thus the above test results are not from a pure wine 3.4 but from wine 3.4 + my patch (+ the improved debug.patch uploaded to bug 26226 today). Note that BridgeCentral is a 32 bit app. Only tested in a pure 32 bit wine build + prefix, even though the host OS is 64 bit Linux.

What was not tested

Quite a lot not yet tested in exactly this new wine version. E.g.:

• Reading in a card distribution file (.bri). That's expected to work out-of-the-box (it did in wine-1.9.16-162-g98358b6), but test results for that version cannot be entered any more, if ever).
• Reading in a BridgeMate result database (.bws) or generating an empty one for the emergencyprogram ("Nødprogram"). I expect that installing mdac28 and jet40 via winetricks is still needed to make it work (like before).
• Importing and printing a "skifteplan" (movement scheme, worked fine in 1.9.16...)
