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 and eComStation. The Odin runtime is a requirement for the newest developed versions of JAVA and Flash 10 for OS/2 and eCS.

Changelog:
0.6.21659 (2011-06-27)
----------------------  

Dmitriy Kuminov:
     - kernel32: Fixed crashes in code involving _try/except due to garbage in
       FS:[0].
     - kernel32: GetFileAttributesEx?(): Interpret paths like 'X:' as 'X:\'
       instead of reporting an error, for compatibility with Win32.
     - kernel32: Propagate exceptions further along the OS/2 chain instead of
       terminating the application if the last Win32 exception handler (eg the
       SEH one) returns ExceptionContinueSearch. This lets unhandled exceptions
       be seen by eg PROCDUMP.
     - kernel32: SEH: Fixed rare crashes at process termination caused by
       attempting to unwind the Win32 exception chain twice, the second time
       after destroying the Win32 TEB block.
     - kernel32: Fixed: Closing a duplicate of a handle opened with
       FILE_FLAG_DELETE_ON_CLOSE would not perform file deletion as it should
       if that duplicate was the last reference to the file (e.g. closed after
       the original handle).
     - ole32: Fixed a crash when dragging an object that doesn't support CF_TEXT
       or CF_HDROP over an OS/2 (non-Odin) window.
     - shell32: Fixed SHGetFileInfoW(): PIDL input argument was misinterpreted as
       a string and the display name and type name fields SHFILEINFOW were not
       properly set on output resulting in garbage on the caller's side.
     - shell32: SHGetFileInfo(): Differentiate between different drive types
       (network, local, removable etc) when filling the type name field for paths
       like 'X:\'.
     - user32: Fixed standard scroll bar functionality (stuck arrow and thumb
       buttons) broken in February 2010.
     - dsound: Open audio devices in shared mode to allow other processes play
       sound when Java applications are running.
     - wsock32: Don't start a dummy async thread when WSAEventSelect() is called
       to simply cancel a non-existing association on a socket.
     - wsock32: Fixed: Zeroing the async task structure at task termination would
       prevent the VSemaphore destructor to be called which caused memory leaks.
     - general: Show a nice error message box and exit instead of crashing if
       WGSS50.DLL or KERNEL32.DLL initialization fails (eg due to low memory).
