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.  

For more information and downloads, see:  

http://svn.netlabs.org/odin32

Download: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/0.8.6/odin-0.8.6.zip
Debug: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/odin/0.8.6/odin-0.8.6-debug.zip

Requires the following:
- kLIBC runtime v0.6.5 (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0_6_5-csd5.wpi
- GCC runtime v4.4.6 (ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/gcc4core-1_2_1.wpi


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).
