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 > > Main news link: http://www.reactos.org/en/news_page_70.html > Download link: 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 > > -- > Aleksey Bragin > ReactOS Foundation President > http://www.reactos.org > > > > _______________________________________________ > Ros-announce mailing list > [email protected] > http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-announce
