Hi all!
Good news! I've just migrated the last of our existing services,
Doxygen, to a new server that is a lot faster and more reliable.
But I also had a look at the often criticized search feature and enabled
the alternative EXTERNAL_SEARCH in the Doxyfile and on the server. This
doubled the runtime for Doxygen due to the additional indexing, but the
result is well worth the effort!
A simple search for a universal function like "Sleep" now instantly
yields all results, but with the definition in "winbase.h" and the
declaration in "kernel32/client/synch.c" at the very top! Results are
also a lot more readable and distributed over multiple pages.
Just try it yourself:
https://doxygen.reactos.org/search.html?query=Sleep
Hope you'll like it as much as I do! :)
We can now start tweaking the extra settings, e.g. whether we need
"Referenced by" and other information.
ReactOS is already known to many due to our Doxygen popping up whenever
they google a Windows API. This step should improve the usefulness of
our documentation even further and turn the ReactOS codebase into *the*
public reference about Windows internals again!
I hope it also motivates you to take care of Doxygen-compatible comments
during your coding :)
Cheers,
Colin
<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12px"></span>Hi,<br>
<br>
In case this happens to be indeed a problem, the additional stuff to add to the build scripts would be to upload these bootcdregtest ISOs to iso.reactos.org, while using now the local copy on the build machine network.<br>

Objet : [ros-dev] iso.reactos.org migrated to new server<br>
<div class="gl_quoted">Hi all!<br>
<br>
iso.reactos.org, the file server used by our build machines and the<br>
source for https://reactos.org/getbuilds, has been migrated to new<br>
hardware at a different location today.<br>
<br>
You should experience better transfer rates due to the increased<br>
bandwidth, and a higher availability. The new hardware also offers more<br>
disk space and redundancy to keep our precious ISOs absolutely safe :)<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, the new iso.reactos.org is no longer right next to the<br>
build machines. This has several consequences: If I had left the build<br>
scripts as-is, the build machines would have uploaded the bootcdregtest<br>
ISOs to iso.reactos.org, just to download them multiple times for each<br>
Testbot a minute later. This would be an excessive waste of ISP<br>
bandwidth and would have delayed the entire testing process.<br>
Therefore, I changed the build scripts to keep the bootcdregtest ISOs<br>
within the local build machine network. However, the downside is that<br>
bootcdregtest ISOs are no longer available via iso.reactos.org.<br>
<br>
Please let me know if this is a problem for you and needs a solution.<br>
In the past, bootcdregtest ISOs were only available for a week and not<br>
accessible via GetBuilds either, so I have no idea how popular they are.<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Colin<br>

Are you sure its better to follow Win behavior on this?
I think its a enhancement, specially if there are many open windows at a
given time....
it saves time!
Hi all!
Planning the ReactOS 0.5 release and establishing a new roadmap was one
of the points on the agenda of yesterday's meeting. This is still an
ongoing process.
Please make up your minds about what a ReactOS 0.5 release must offer in
your opinion and write it down to https://reactos.org/wiki/0.5.0
To get a realistic roadmap, it is important that we define a responsible
person for each task. It should be the person having the most in-depth
knowledge about the status of the affected ReactOS components.
Don't worry, we won't put any pressure on you to complete the task soon.
But we need someone who can give a detailed report about the current status.
If nobody can be the responsible person for a certain task, having it
for 0.5 is not realistic and it eventually needs to be removed from the
roadmap.
But that's for later! Let's first add all points we consider important
until the end of the year. If you can already add yourself as the
responsible person, even better! :)
Cheers,
Colin
Hi all!
While there is still some time until the February 6, 2019 application
deadline for projects, we should already begin planning our GSoC
participation now!
As today's meeting already has a long agenda, I delibereately didn't add
GSoC to it. But I've already created
https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019 and
https://reactos.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2019_Ideas
Please decide whether you want to be a GSoC org admin or mentor and add
your ideas to the list or remove deprecated ones.
My experience from the Mentor Summit tells me that proper planning and
advertising can make a huge difference for our 2019 participation and
will certainly get us more students :)
Cheers,
Colin
While there's a discussion of 0.5 release plan, here are some candidate topics:
* MM/CC work, to reduce BSoDs and enable further development
* PNP work. vgal has done some work on both HAL and PNP to fix device issues. Also many Windows Server 2003 drivers are usable now. Progressing this and finally integrating into ReactOS is essential at some point.
* Driver issues
* System corruption after hard resets or BSoDs
* Further Win32 work to get many programs usable (I can extensively test Word 2003 if there's help!)
* Getting rid of old fastfat (and progressing NTFS further?)
* Robust networking (adding WPA support, fixing bugs...)
* Installer support for old programs and WoW16 (there's two resources: Win3mu is now open-source and otya128's winevdm)
* Further DirectX work (or just syncs from Wine) and some video work to get more games playable?
* Sound?
* And other things you add or I forgot.
Best regards,
Can
Hi all!
Let me invite you to the November 2018 meeting, taking place next
Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 19:00 UTC.
Invited members will again receive their credentials shortly before the
meeting.
This will be the first meeting since August and I hope we get some more
topics than just the obligatory Status Reports. Please send your
proposals by replying to this mail.
Best regards,
Colin

Meantime solution: in a virtual machine.
