Google Summer of Code 2017
by Colin Finck 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

Hi all! Google Summer of Code 2017 is fast approaching, with February 9 being the deadline for projects to apply. With our record of successfully completing all 4 ideas (msahci, NTFS, lwIP, USB) last year, we should definitely apply again. Aleksey and Amine have already begun filling out the application form. Based on the 2016 ideas Wiki page, we have also created a new ideas page at https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017_Ideas Please share your thoughts on these and add anything that's missing. What we now need are possible mentors. Who would be available for this? Cheers, Colin

In Windows, this is actually part of the AppCompat database. there's a flag in tagWND that enables/disables this behavior.

Hi ! After this successful poll, the winner bootlogo is without doubt the (d) version :-) I have committed it here : https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos?view=revision <https://svn.reactos.org/svn/reactos?view=revision&revision=73639> &revision=73639 This is the file “1.bmp”. As the bootlogo and the other boot images are 16-colour (palette) bitmaps, I had to adjust the palette of the other ones too (because they are occasionally rendered together).

We use FreeLDR for the RAM booting, which loads in RAM an ISO (not a HDD image yet). For the LiveCD for example, the following lines can be added into freeldr.ini: [Operating Systems] ... LiveCD_RamDisk="LiveCD in RAM" ... [LiveCD_RamDisk] BootType=Windows2003 SystemPath=ramdisk(0)\reactos Options=/MININT /RDPATH=livecd\livecd.iso /RDEXPORTASCD FreeLdr will load the "livecd\livecd.iso" file from the boot drive (a USB key for example...) (the switch '/RDEXPORTASCD' explicitely specifies that the file is loaded as an ISO image, with read-only access, etc...). Then, "ramdisk(0)\reactos" specifies that the kernel etc... will be loaded from the "reactos" directory inside the root directory constituted by the ramdisk, once the ramdisk is loaded.

font penalty system
by katahiromz . 28 Jan '17

28 Jan '17

Hello, this is katahiromz aka a Win32 programmer and tester from Japan. At first, check out the x12 patch of CORE-6621. Please take a look at the WeightFromStyle and GetFontPenalty functions. The "DejaVu Sans Mono" fonts are in use, as substitute fonts. There is a problem. The penalty weight of "DejaVu Sans Mono Oblique" is lighter than one of "DejaVu Sans Mono Book" in the current penalty system of Table 1. The "Oblique" penalty is 4 of Italic Penalty. The "Book" penalty is 3 * ((400 - 350) / 10) == 15 of Weight Penalty. So, Oblique < Book! Should we adjust Italic Penalty to 16 or more?

Problems in Build Tutorial

Hi, I’m a newcomer to ros-dev and currently try to build reactos. It is ok for me but I think there might be slight problems in the tutorial. > cd output-MinGW-i386 I think it maybe cd output-MinGW-i386/reactos . Running `ninja` under `output-MinGW-i386` fails. > generates a bootable ReactOS ISO file (bootcd.iso) placed into the output directory I find `bootcd.iso` under `reactos` instead of `reactos/output`. Are they outdated? - JasonQSY

Office 2010 support
by Colin Finck 27 Jan '17

27 Jan '17

Hi all! During the monthly meeting yesterday, there was a high demand for full Office 2010 support under ReactOS. Let's call that Word, Excel and PowerPoint for now. If we get these applications to work, the potential customer may generously sponsor the ReactOS Project. While Hermès is already working on getting Word 2010 support as part of the ReactOS Community Edition, he has shown that this task easily splits into many subtasks, like full NTLM implementation, Printing, etc. If anybody volunteers to work on these, or otherwise contribute to get the full Office 2010 to work under ReactOS, we would be willing to support this with our foundation funds too! As a first step, let's make a list of related tasks and add them to https://jira.reactos.org/browse/CORE-12279 Hermès can probably help here. If you have other ideas on how to help with Office 2010, don't hesitate to tell. This needs teamwork! Let's not miss this opportunity to make ReactOS usable for the mass! - Colin

Status Meeting (January 2017)
by Aleksey Bragin 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hello, Let me invite you to the monthly status meeting taking place today, 26th of January, 19:00 UTC. We skipped the last meeting because of holidays and unavailability of people. IRC service will only be started shortly before the meeting. Your participation passwords and server address will be emailed to you shortly before the meeting starts, and they are going to be different once again as they are not stored in any database. Hopefully it's not much of inconvenience. Alternatively we'll do it in #reactos-meeting on Freenode, depending on our admins mood. Please send agenda proposals to me before the meeting so we don't waste time trying to setup the agenda directly during the meeting. Regards, Aleksey Bragin

MASM using longer opcode sequences than GAS
by Colin Finck 18 Jan '17

18 Jan '17

Hi all, In order to make our ISOs flashable to USB drives and bootable from them (cf. CORE-12648), I'm currently overhauling our ISO boot sector "isoboot.S". This adds a lot of code and while I stay in the 2K size limit when assembling it with GAS, I break it with MASM. Disassembling the assembled files shows the difference. A line like: mov word ptr ds:[GetlinsecPtr], ax is assembled by GAS to: A35B50 mov [0x505b],ax while MASM does this: 67A35B500000 mov [dword 0x505b],ax Is there any option to enforce the shorter opcode sequence for MASM too? The code uses a lot of similar MOVs and this seems to be the only reason why I break the 2K size limit with MASM. If there is no such option, what are the advantages of using MASM for our MSVC build anyway? Can't we just use GAS for both or decide on a common third-party assembler (NASM) for our assembly files? Cheers, Colin
