My plans for 2014
by Eric Kohl 01 Jan '14

01 Jan '14

Hi! since 2013 is almost over, it is time to make some plans for 2014. My primary goals for 2014 are: - Completing the user account management, user logon and password change. - Fixing winlogon.exe in order to enable users to lock and unlock the computer and to change their identity (log-off and log-on again). - Fix potential bugs in userenv.dll. We need to get rid of the administrator logon hack in syssetup.dll. - Fix the system shutdown: We need to terminate applications and services before the machine shuts down. Secondary goals are: - Implement PNP support for scsiport.sys. - Improvements to PNP and driver installation. - Get some legacy hardware working (parallel port, PCMCIA). The items of this list and their priorities are not fixed. I reserverve the right to make changes to this list or to work on something entirely different, without prior notice. Happy new year! Regards Eric

Win32 subsystem in 2013
by Aleksey Bragin 31 Dec '13

31 Dec '13

Hi, this message is a bit provocative, but please don't be offended by it. You all did a wonderful work during this year. Thank you! It's very good to see the work is going on. Just for fun, when I had spare 15 minutes, I decided to check, what was done in the win32 subsystem during this year by the major, respectable and very old time ReactOS developer, and whether my proposal with Arwinss still stands or not. Here is what I found: (analyzing ~ 62 commits by jimtabor): - 25 revisions: Fixes/hacks of our code (ReactOS-specific bug, works in Wine, sometimes says in comments "//// ReactOS : Justin Case something goes wrong.") (revs 58528, 58562, 58563, 58633, 58773, 58999, 59000, 59201, 60054, 60587, 60590, 60592, 60622, 60626, 60659, 60676, 60677, 60881, 61078, 61079, 61142, 61250, 61251, 61292, 61458) - 13 revisions: Syncs with Wine (revs 59157, 59158, 59159, 60763, 60784, 60807, 60820, 60858, 60863, 60865, 60867, 61244, 61422) - 14 revisions: Own code development or rewriting old code, some of which might have been derived from ancient versions of Wine. (60387, 60389, 60394, 60539, 60599, 60602, 60660, 60682, 60683, 60684, 60718, 60883, 60976, 60992) - 1 revision: attempt to fix a bug found in Wine (revision 60054, issue CORE-6024) You don't need to be a scientist to see that 61% of the changes went into fixing ReactOS specific bugs or just bringing in newer Wine code to fix old Wine bugs. Remaining 22% of efforts was spent on actually developing our own, assumingly better code, and just 1 revision was spent on such a glorious thing as fixing Wine's bug. ReactOS is a just for fun type of project, so I highly appreciate that efforts were put into all of the above! However, I still think that it would be beneficial if someone would put similar efforts into Arwinss to eliminate the need to bring in hacks and fix stuff which works in Wine for years already, and focus on developing only those parts which we obviously can't share (GDI, hardware accelerated graphics, whatever else). I lack time to do this myself, but if anyone volunteers I would be glad to help, share my experience and think up of interesting tasks. Like, getting Arwinss to work in Windows 2003 instead of its native subsystem, which would be a nice test. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

We have received almost twice as many proposals as we could accept, and we regret not being able to give everyone a stand. We hope to see you at FOSDEM 2014 in a different capacity regardless.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [akhaldi] 61381: [USBSTOR] * Define INITGUID in the main header. CORE-7716
by Timo Kreuzer 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

This is a suboptimal way of handling it, because it will cause the compiler to instantiate all GUIDs in all compilation units. When linking only one will be selected for the executable, but still it increases the size of all object files. If it is to allow a precompiled header, I suggest adding an additional guid.c file, that only includes the guid headers, not the precompiled header.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [ekohl] 61145: [FASTFAT] FsdGetFsVolumeInformation: Return volume creation time.
by Ged Murphy 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

Hi Eric, I know this has been discussed before, but should we not just bite the bullet and replace this driver with the Microsoft driver. The MS_LPL license allows it to be used in reactos, and it would certainly get rid of any unknowns and give us a reliable filesystem to work from. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowshardware/fastfat-File-System-Driver-1… Ged. -----Original Message----- From: ros-diffs-bounces(a)reactos.org [mailto:ros-diffs-bounces@reactos.org] On Behalf Of ekohl(a)svn.reactos.org Sent: 29 November 2013 14:06 To: ros-diffs(a)reactos.org Subject: [ros-diffs] [ekohl] 61145: [FASTFAT] FsdGetFsVolumeInformation: Return volume creation time.
