Applications Affected by Bug #20127

The Microsoft .NET Framework is a development and execution environment that allows different programming languages and libraries to work together seamlessly to create Windows-based applications that are easier to build, manage, deploy, and integrate with other networked systems.

.NET Framework version history

Native Linux Alternative:

Mono is a cross platform, open source .NET development framework.

Microsoft Open-Source Initiative:

In order to support the open source community around .NET, Microsoft spawned the .NET Foundation. They have an organization portal on GitHub, where the source code of the .NET core libraries is being published under the MIT License.

Eclipse is an open source IDE for Java and other languages. It's based on SWT, and very extensible with plug-ins.

Eclipse is the basis of commercial applications like WSAD and RAD from IBM.

notes+reasons for testing:

1. There's a version for Linux (and many other OS').
2. Java is widespread, and much OSS is based on Java. So there is much free software to test Wine.
3. SWT makes native calls to the API of the OS .
4. Some Java apps use JNI to call native APIs, also Win32 APIs. These apps are not easily portable.

The Master Genealogist (TMG) is a popular genealogy software for Windows that was discontinued at the end of 2014 (The announcement.). ­The Master Genealogist is able to be customized for data entry through user-defined event, name, and relationship types.

TMG uses DLL's from Visual Fox Pro (VFP) so many issues associated with VFP affect TMG.

TMG's version history can be found on Wikipedia

There are a couple of Linux alternatives:

• Gramps (Debian package) -  written in Python. Good data-model (Supports GEDCOM 5.5.1), handles large family trees well.
• GeneWeb (Debian package) - Written in OCaml, with CGI interface. Simpler data-mode, but handles 400k-name families without trouble.
