BeOS Release 4

Bug Fixes and Improvements

  • The BDirectWindow and BWindowScreen classes have a new timeout mechanism that will help you debug a Game Kit object's interaction with the app server. 

    Previously, the app server would kill a Game Kit app if one of its direct windows didn't respond to the server's nudging within some amount of time (at least 3 seconds; more if the machine is loaded).  The app server no longer kills the app; instead, it suspends the app and sends the window thread into the debugger.

  • BWindowScreen objects now show up in (and can be activated from) Deskbar's window list.
