Hi, ok... last but not least, RosBE for Windows Version 2.0 is out too. This is one of the last steps to the upcoming cmake switch with dumping rbuild fully and forever. The setup files can be found here: http://www.reactos.org/wiki/Build_Environment Setup is the same good known NSIS based one for now. Just remove the old BE and let it install it over. CMAKE usage instructions are here:http://reactos.org/wiki/CMake Big thanks for this release goes to Heis and Colin from the Unix BE team, Amine for not killing me taking so long for a release and dralnix and blight_ for doing the first steps to a advanced BE years ago. Miss you, guys ^^ As for Unix one, I fully dump the support for any earlier Version of RosBE Windows starting from NOW. Best regards, Daniel

RosBE-Unix 2.0 released

by Pierre Schweitzer

Hi, finally, we are getting closer and closer to CMake switch. RosBE-2.0 release brings supports for CMake and all the changes made in the tool chain. You can find it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/reactos/files/RosBE-Unix/2.0/ To install it, simply extract the tar.bz2, and then run the RosBE-Builder.sh script. For instructions about how to use CMake in ReactOS, have a look to that wiki page: http://reactos.org/wiki/CMake Regarding this release, I would like to thank Colin Finck who did everything for it, but who have been obliged to let me release his work due to his busy life. RosBE 1.5 is not supported any longer. And I invite everyone to switch to CMake (with RosBE2.0 Windows/Linux). Rbuild deletion is now a matter of days. The countdown for Rbuild deletion has started. Regards, Pierre

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [tkreuzer] 55518: [FREELDR] - Enable new heap code and cleanup the heap, releasing unused memory, before starting reactos - Gives our kernel about 4MB additional memory, which - at the current leak...

by Aleksey Bragin

I must say, hpoussin proposed to get rid of bget in favor of rtl/heap.c, and I criticized his idea because I had no trust in the old heap code. Would reusing the new code be an option? Or you already invented the "mini-heap" which works good enough? WBR, Aleksey.

Hi all, The Google Summer of Code 2012 project registration phase is starting in three weeks. Are we going to apply again after our success last year? Who will be available as administrators and mentors? Is anybody already collecting task ideas? Cheers, Colin

Automated tests on Real HardWare + USB-trunk tests

by Jan Blomqvist Kinander

It is time to get automated tests made on real hardware up and running. I have started a project to get ReactOS to run on a FUJITSU SIEMENS ESPRIMO E5925 (wich already installs and runs from CD and HDD) however, to get automated tests going we need to be able to script stuff and feed it with iso:s, this I have planned to do with Intel AMT / vPro technology. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology ). The goal is to have all builds tested on real HW and to get ReactOS to be a usable system for real HW to be able to kill as many bugs as possible and make different HW setups to work. This will be unnecessary before we go beta in the future. I have a bunch of debug lists from this actual HW, made and added links to them below, some of them are from the USB-trunk branch.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [janderwald] 55447: [DISK_NEW] - Fix compilation of new disk driver - Patch by Alex Ionescu

Those look very GCC centric. The corresponding flag for MSVC to -mrtd would be /Gz. As for other flags, I'm unsure of what -fno-builtin would correspond to, and others are only for warnings. Cheers.

Buildbot update

by caemyr＠myopera.com

Few changes you might find important: - WDK builder has been added to scheduler. All trunk revisions are from now on built on both gcc and wdk. - Cameron-requested USB builder is added as well. This one, connected to usb-bringup-trunk branch, is triggered manually from web interface. All builds are stored on diablo, so team-members with ftp accounts on it can access the builds just as all other ones. Please contact me if one needs an account. Enjoy -- With best regards Caemyr

0.3.14 RC2

by Zachary Gorden

A second RC for 0.3.14 has been posted here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/reactos/files/ReactOS/0.3.14/0.3.14-RC2.iso… The main purpose of this RC is to see whether the hack Cameron Gutman provided works around the memory manager issue causing hangs while copying mshtml.dll during installation. Due to problems with the wallpapers, a livecd will not be built at this time. Z98

Monthly meeting - skipping another meeting this month

by Aleksey Bragin

Hello, we just had a monthly meeting in the beginning of January, so I don't see much of a reason to do another one at our usual date (and there are no urgent questions required for decision). Next meeting is going to happen in the end of February as scheduled. WBR, Aleksey.
