We didn't receive this information until about 2 days ago. Yes I know I could probably find it on the net, but it would also help to have this page list the revision #'s associated with each release, just so that all info is in one place to make it easy for us to record our respective contributions to the release. Thanks. In Tortoise, I just download the whole history for the branch and then filter it with the date pull downs in the top left. It's as easy as that and gives more information than the text version.

FreeLdr build docs?
by Michael B. Trausch 23 Dec '05

23 Dec '05

I may be just an idiot or blind, but I can't seem to find any information on building freeldr, and it doesn't seem to have a makefile. Everything that I can find points to it being loadable by GRUB and the like, but I'm not sure why I can't find the *how* on building it. Am I just blind, or missing something extremely obvious? (Yes, I have been searching Google for a little while now... I'm not turning anything up, yet.) Thanks, Mike -- Michael B.

Although Send() will return indicating the data has been sent, nagling should hold the actual packet back until it is full, however this should only happen if there is unconfirmed data i.e. no ACK. To avoid any confusion, you can switch nagling off with the TCP_NODELAY flag I'm interested in this bug, but I'm not around tonight to play about with it :( ************************************************************************ The information contained in this message or any of its attachments is confidential and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

How does one make a MP build anyway?
by WaxDragon 21 Dec '05

Gang, I have been unsuccessful in building a working MP bootcd for a while now. I conferred with Hartmut about some of the details, but still cannot get it working. This is what I tried: 1. Set MP=1 in config.xml 2.

I still have the BP6 and am willing to test MP builds, but I wasted about 10 CD-R's trying to get a working MP bootcd before giving up. Am I just doing something wrong? I would like to get this worked out and documented somewhere. WD -- <Russell> argh <Russell> iterator shenanigans :/

Loopback problem
by Ge van Geldorp 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

I've been tracking down a problem with ibrowser being extremely slow for me (it took 64 sec to load http://www.reactos.org). It turns out to be a problem associated with the loopback interface. The attached test program (gcc -o loop.exe loop.c -lws2_32) is the minimum test program to demonstrate the problem. It occurs when you send a small amount of data over the loopback interface when there is no pending recv (so you send, then start a recv for the data, then another send, then another recv, no recv waiting while you send). Sequence of events: - Start first send - TCP/IP stack queues the data at the receiving end - First send returns - Start first recv - Queued data is retrieved, but it is determined that there's plenty of space in the TCP window left, so there is no ACK sent back - First recv returns - Start second send - tcp_output determines that the connection is not idle (there is some un-ACKed data) and queues the data at the sending end - Second send returns - Start second recv - Since there is no data waiting at the receiving end, recv just sits there - An internal timer with a period of 2.5 sec expires - The timer proc notices that there is an ACK pending - ACK is sent back to the sending end - Sending end determines connection is idle now and sends the queued data to the receiving end - Timer proc terminates and reschedules itself - Data has now arrived at the receiving end and can be retrieved by the waiting recv. Again no ACK is sent back - Second recv returns - Third send starts, queues its data at sending end and returns - Third recv starts, has to wait 2.5 sec for the internal timer to timeout and then returns - etc. Although I understand what's wrong, I have a bit of difficulty trying to figure out how to fix it. Attached is a proposed fix, which basically attacks the problem at the sending end by removing the check if the connection is idle or not. With that fix the loop.c program works as I expect and http://www.reactos.org loads in a much more reasonable 2-3 sec in ibrowser. The problem that I have with the fix is that it's a change in code we borrowed from the BSD stack. I can hardly imagine that a piece of software so heavily used as the BSD stack would have such a fundamental problem. Any thoughts? GvG

Daily-updated Doxygen documentation
by Ge van Geldorp 21 Dec '05

21 Dec '05

I've installed a script on the webserver which will run Doxygen (a source cross-referencing tool, see http://www.doxygen.org) on our complete source tree. The script runs once a day. The results can be viewed on http://www.reactos.org/generated/doxygen (or choose "Doxygen" from the "Development" menu on the website). GvG
