    There is a new version of ODIN on the Netlabs FTP server.
    ODIN is the Open Source project to provide a win32 API for OS/2 and eComStation. Originally to allow OS/2 users to run Windows 32 bit applications.
    Now used to port windows applications to OS/2 an eComStation. The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS.

    0.8.6 (2012-10-23)
    ------------------
    - kernel32: Fix crash when using the new SEH scheme (0.8.5 regression).
    - kernel32: Disable Win32 TIB switch completely by default. This fixes spins
    in an exception handler loop in some applications (e.g. LibreOffice trying
    to load JVM.DLL).
    - kernel32: Add support for custom PE/PEC/W16ODIN paths to ODIN.INI (fixes
    broken PE/PEC functionality in RPM packages).
    - kernel32: Add GetCPInfoEx and ConvertThreadToFiber (needed for GTK).
    - kernel32: Add InitializeSListHead (needed for MSVCR100.DLL).
    - kernel32: Fix inverted return values in GetFileInformationByHandle and
    some other APIs (this could confuse Flash 10.1+).
    - kernel32: Implement GetFileInformationByHandle for directories.
    - kernel32: Add support for Windows XP SP3 version and make it the default.
    - user32: Partly implement MsgWaitForMultipleObjectsEx (for Flash 11.4).
    - shell32: Export SHGetSpecialFolderPathW (needed by Flash 11.4).
    - crypt32: Disable debug fields of RTL_CRITICAL_SECTION_DEBUG (fixes
    occasional crashes in CRYPT32.DLL e.g. during playback of some Flash).
    - odininst: Register DLLs that require registration (fixes playback of some
    Flash content for Flash versions starting from 10.1).
    - pe: Don't add .exe if an extension is already present in the program name
    (this fixes programs like InstallShiled that use non-standard extensions).
    - pe: Fix memory allocation error for some Win32 EXEs (this error could be
    displayed if the size of the EXE was too small).
