Let's say a great job!!! It is wonderful to see such a lot of improvements!!!
Good work dear programmers. Thank you mattia 2012/2/8 Aleksey Bragin <[email protected]> > The ReactOS team is proud to announce the release of ReactOS 0.3.14. > > This version includes a significant amount of changes including both user > visible and architectural improvements. Also included in this release is > the valuable work accomplished as part of the Google Summer of Code 2011 > event, of which ReactOS was a mentoring project. > > One of the more significant sets of improvements was to ReactOS’ > networking stack. As part of the GSoC, ReactOS gained a new TCP/IP driver > built around the LwIP project. The LwIP library is a popular and stable > implementation of TCP/IP originally intended for embedded use. The new > driver has significantly increased both stability and performance, allowing > the use of high bandwidth applications such as torrents. Furthermore, > ReactOS has improved compatibility with NT5.1 drivers with the export of > scatter/gather DMA functionality. Last but not least, ReactOS now includes > wireless network support and is able to connect to both open and WEP > encrypted networks. > > One of the more obvious user visible changes includes the implementation > of theme support. Users can now change the look and feel of ReactOS’ user > interface by installing XP based themes and changing the appearance of the > desktop from the default classic look to something more exciting. > > Architecturally, the addition of a kernel mode testing framework has > helped to identify a variety of bugs in kernel mode components. This is an > important change with regards to core stability and is proving invaluable > in ensuring the project does not suffer unexpected regressions in the > kernel. > > Support for building ReactOS using the Microsoft toolset has also played a > large part in the release. This is now at a stage where ReactOS can be > entirely built using an MSVC based environment and can produce a working > boot and livecd. Along with GCC, ReactOS can now be built using two > different toolsets and on a variety of platforms including Windows, Linux > and Mac OS X. > > During the preparation of this release 789 bugs were fixed, including 118 > regressions with the oldest regression being issue #1009 (can't open > context menu with Shift-F10). The oldest bug fixed was #209 (PrintScreen > doesn't work) from over eight years ago. 811 new bugs were opened since the > release of 0.3.13. > > A list of some of the more significant changes includes: > > * ACPI > Advanced Configuration and Power Interface support is now enabled > automatically when the ACPI Hardware Abstraction Layer is used, providing > support for power buttons and full system power off. > > * LwIP > A new TCP/IP driver using the LwIP driver has been integrated into > ReactOS, significantly improving network performance and stability and also > presenting an upgrade path to IPv6. > > * MSVC Compatibility > ReactOS can now be built using Microsoft's compiler to create a working > boot or livecd. > > * Scatter/Gather Support > Scatter/Gather DMA operations are now supported, significantly improving > compatibility with network drivers written for NT5.1 and later. > > * Shell Improvements > The shell32 library rewrite in C++ has been merged in and brings with it > various architectural improvements that will help serve as a foundation for > future work on the new explorer shell. > > * Special Pool > A special pool designed to guard against misuses of kernel pool memory has > been implemented. > > * Theme Support > ReactOS now has the infrastructure needed to theme the user interface and > shell, allowing users to install and use something besides the classic > Windows theme. > > * WiFi Support > ReactOS now supports wireless network drivers and is able to join open and > WEP encrypted wireless networks. > > > The detailed 0.3.14 changelog is available here: > http://www.reactos.org/wiki/**index.php/ChangeLog-0.3.14<http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/ChangeLog-0.3.14> > > Main news link: > http://www.reactos.org/en/**news_page_70.html<http://www.reactos.org/en/news_page_70.html> > Download link: > http://www.reactos.org/en/**download.html<http://www.reactos.org/en/download.html> > > I would like to thank all the past and present members of the ReactOS team > for their hard work and of course all those in the community that support > us. > We will never forget involvement and contribution of those who left our > world too early. > http://www.reactos.org/**pipermail/ros-dev/2011-June/**014419.html<http://www.reactos.org/pipermail/ros-dev/2011-June/014419.html> > > -- > Aleksey Bragin > ReactOS Foundation President > http://www.reactos.org > > > > ______________________________**_________________ > Ros-announce mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.reactos.org/**mailman/listinfo/ros-announce<http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-announce> > -- -------------------------- Hey Brother, i can't remember a reason why!!!
