Plans for next release (0.2.5 or 0.3.0)
by eric.kohl＠t-online.de 16 Dec '04

Hi! When the branch for the next version will be created I plan to disable the 'Locale Page' and 'Progress Page' in the second stage setup because they are not usable yet. Regards, Eric

Empty fields of DeviceNode leading to Death
by art yerkes 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Is there a reference for which registry keys fill (or are supposed to fill) which members of DeviceNode? I ask because I wind up finding all of the combinations that lead to zeros and have a tough time figuring out which registry values are needed to make them not be zero. We have a lot of unchecked string functions on the DeviceNode fields in io/pnpmgr.c, by the way. I think i've stumbled on four such places so far, but I suspect that the whole thing should be hardened together. In any case it would be nice if someone could post a cheat sheet about how to create a new device entry the right way, or write the code that fills the DeviceNode in a more obvious way, so that it's easy to find and see what fills what. -- Here's a simple experiment. Stand on a train track between two locomotives which are pushing on you with equal force in opposite directions. You will exhibit no net motion. None the less, you may soon begin to notice that something important is happening. -- Robert Stirniman

Changelog for 0.2.5
by Jason Filby 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Hi all For the new changelog, I'd like to do away with the mere compilation of commit messages. Firstly because it takes forever for one person to do this and secondly because it doesn't mean much to people following the project. Could everyone write down their changes in a way meaningful to a technical end-user (that has no knowledge of our codebase) on the Wiki here: http://mok.lvcm.com/cgi-bin/reactos/roswiki?ChangeLog-0.2.5 Cheers Jason

There are changes made in the mailing list that are then altered again and again, or reverted completely. e.g. - Add notepad to the bootcd - @changelog Included Notepad on the bootable CD If then at a later date it was decided that was a bad idea, you would have: - Remove notepad from bootcd - @changelog Removed Notepad from the bootable CD.

[ion] Set default Freeldr Timeout to 5 seconds
by Sylvain Petreolle 16 Dec '04

16 Dec '04

Looking to the change made to usetup/bootsup.c, I see we already have a TimeOut definition at line 61, but this one is #ifed and therefore disabled by default. You should remove it since it is now useless. ===== Sylvain Petreolle (spetreolle_at_users_dot_sourceforge_dot_net) humans are like computers, yesterday the BIOS was all - today its just a word

Let me ask a question. Is this piece of code static const WCHAR KeyW = L"Software\\Microsoft\\"; a Microsoft C language extension or does it conform to a public C language standard (C89, C99 et c.)? ____________________________________________________________ Libero ADSL: 3 mesi gratis e navighi a 1.2 Mega, senza costi di attivazione.

I've just read the /. postings (XBox + ReactOS)
by Wesley Parish 15 Dec '04

Oh, well, can't win 'em all! Just for the record, one major reason why I'm with the ReactOS project is because I have to maintain a network of virus-traps going by the name of Microsoft Windows 98, and I dream of replacing the wretched stuff by a superior system.
