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)
• Entering your own "skifteplan" (movement scheme)
• Almost no font problems any more (texts look fine)

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'; somewhat strange because the URL launches fine in firefox via `wine winebrowser http://bridge.dk/...pdf').

At the default resolution (96 dpi), when printing the result of a multi section tournament, the numbers in the tournament score column (total score) are slightly cut-off in the right hand side, but still readable.

Workarounds

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 1.8-rc3-48-gb0a17b, 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 emergency program ("Nødprogram").  I expect that installing mdac28 and jet40 via winetricks is still needed to make it work (like before).
• Exporting and printing movement schemes ("skifteplaner"; also worked in previous wine except for general export delay bug not thought to be related to wine).

Additional Comments

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 1.9.16 but from wine-1.9.16-161-gd6d0d96 (latest git as of Aug 13 2016) + my patch (cleaned up version from Dec 2015) = wine-1.9.16-162-g98358b6. 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.
