Hi team, I don't know why, but it seems that bugzilla and ros-bugs is being ignored, except for some exceptions where I've seen regressions fixed lately. IMHO it's extremely important the perception people have about us when they test ros, if ros improved overall but that's not noticeable to the end user the final perception will be bad, now if we want a cooler release than 0.3.11 and older revisions, people should feel the improvement. I'm gonna make a short sum up of what I think it should be fixed or tried to at least to accomplish that (this list contains not only regressions but bugs that would improve the ros perception for the average user): I hope we can all work as a team to try and fix these issues, I can only offer my help testing as that's the thing I know best atm. GUI perception: 642 hotkeys not supported: Wouldn't it be cool to hit Win+R to run, Start menu appearing when hitting win, etc.? copy paste files with the keyboard... I'd also add here, we need to be able to switch applications with alt-tab, I remember johannes did something related to this long ago. 969 Minimized windows are shown on the desktop, no need to mention that this reminds me of win 3.11, good old times, but that was long ago... 1603 can't exit rename state 2320 clock doesn't show properly (partially shown), this exists since I remember too. 2322 Hide inactive icons doesn't work, please remove this... option :) 2328 Shell doesn't restart upon its failure 2428 non stop scrolling hangs entire gui, aka "if you do dir /s in real hardware go have a good breakfast" 2788 unwanted multiple selection while doing a right click on the desktop, ugly when you have multiple icons on your desktop and launch them because of this 3101 our remote dekstop can't be used, you can't change settings 3171 focus doesn't change back to parent window 3212 different keyboard responses, also keyboard doesn't work correctly with dinput see bug 4405 4379 hovering the mouse over the start menu spoils the text 4847 File copying dialog is missing 4915 Control panel: Keyboard doesn't work after opening and closing an applet 4960 ReactOS restarts at the beginning of 2nd stage if you hit ESC Explorer has all kind of visual glitches you can imagine and even more. keyboard layout issues: it's language dependent when it shouldn't be, changing keyboard layout doesn't work, kb layout tools dont' work, wrong keyboard layout in cmd see 3317, 2132, 2133, 2178, 2952, see also profiles problems below Visual/Graphic bugs: There are tons of these, I'll name a few, luckily we have Arwinss. 3624 worksoft navigator can't be minimized. 3680 Blinking text while installing vc2008 redist package 4051 Command Prompt icon showed through a window General: Users need to save a file to the desktop and see it has been created, see bug 1249 and also 2821. Winamp main window is unclicable, this has existed since I rememer, bug 1239. taskmgr shows still processes that have been killed, see bug 1567. 2393 you need to move the mouse to make firefox work (thanks arwinss for this too). Profiles: They are messed, %TEMP% has some issues see bugs 2482, 2972, also 4008 and 4102, all users desktop icons don't appear in user's desktop 4289, also bug 4444. 2622 console doesn't support scrolling at all. 2978 we can't search it regedit, it doesn't work and hangs the app. 3225 3dtext screensaver shows garbled text 3429 can't select any color in comdlg32 color dialog, since I remember too... 3559 Double-click on application icon does not close application. 3781 Tab Key does not work for "SysIPAddress32" controls 3883 screensaver doesn't start automatically 3966 can't hit enter on a selected item to open it 4049 changing screen resolutions requires restart, thanks Timo aka yaratows master! :) 4066 Notepad, uses two different fonts / highlighted text invisible 4106 Wrong text spacing in popup menus / icons after show a font in control applet / Remote Desktop 4185 [PATCH] Netstat produces b*llshit, should we apply the patch ? 4377 Notepad: Find command doesn't work right. 4380 Real Hardware: mouse wheel doesn't work 4383 Can't delete many items from Desktop at once using the mouse 4501 When closing one window, Firefox gets restored if it was minimized 4560 explorer mouse rectangle doesn't work anymore (I'm not sure it ever worked, it does work in arwinss) 4676 Unable to restore down a maximised window 4779 K-Meleon popup menus dont work 4835 Regression: Memory usage continuously decreases in task manager even though memory usage doesn't change (HACKFIXED) 5005 Foxit reader, program starts automatically instead of the installation wizard 5030 Changing color depth resets the wallpaper to none 5059 mIRC 6.35 server list with unusable scrollbar 5066 PATCH : Incorrect sending of mouse messages, can someone take a look ? 5099 [metabug]ReactOS new loader doesnt work with more than 3584 MB of RAM, let's not forget this one 5100 and 5101 too Regressions: 3716 Livecd networking does not work in qemu 3727 Regression: roscalc problems with keyboard input etc. 4461 Regression: Notepad Lite 4568 Regression: Startup Folder stopped working (see profiles and environment vars too) 4677 Regression: Can't restore minimized windows 4811 Recent AbiWord toolbar regression: comctl32 sync r42706 4926 Regression: Tworld and DosBox don't work 4948 [Regression] Can't close locale settings dialog on 2nd stage of setup 4951 [Regression] 'whois' hangs 5035 Regression: Abiword - Fonts listbox isn't shown properly 5276 Regression: shell about dialog doesn't display header bitmap 5294 Regression: Device manager list is empty x-chat used to work, it looked bad, now it doesn't even start, there's no specific regression bug filed for this, see bug 1176 Features needed: USB keyboard and mouse are a must nowadays, ps/2 won't last much longer..., bug 1041, also ps/2 doesn't work if you unplug it and replug it later bug 1395. Installation/USetup needs to be able to handle bootmgrs, and other partitions when they are present, at least give you the possibility to wipe everything up. also 2564 ros doesn't mount logical units on extended partitions, see also 2733, 4368, 4614, 5270 VGA/VBE bug 2073 ros does not work on vga display.

Re: [ros-dev] Roadmap I'm sticking to

by victor martinez

Hi, Well..I have been here just for a year and a half, and it is pretty obvious that we are not following any "direction" to achieve something in common.We are making progress in our own,sometimes without telling to the others and sometimes introducing regressions 1week before a release thanks to a critical rewrite. Or We are disappearing without telling to anyone. We==Testers&&Developers&&Translators&&Designers&&TheCommunity. I will use this email to state,mainly, that i want to be part of a team with an objective, so i offer all my testing help (including those parts i hate to test) to achieve a common goal.I offer my Testing time as Real Testing time and not as a Hobbie. Maybe we should try to discuss how to reach that goal,and decide(all of us) which is the best way to have something working. I dont know if the correct approach is called Arwinss,Yarotows,WTF!(Want To Finish!) or whatever.The real approach is the final User. And the final User "demands" a workable OS asap.We are making this as a hobbie, but also trying to give a product to the mass(I hope). We are not acting as a Community,neither me. The time to find a way has arrived imo.It´s quite discouraging finding this mess. Discouraging for testers and Discouraging for Devs. In the latest half year we have lost some Testers because lack of motivation.And it is called "Road to Nowhere". Devs arrives to ReactOS Project and they seem to leave quite easy,why?. I hope this time we can all sit and try to find a real solution,deciding which is the Goal (a Hobbie,an OS?),which is the way(comfortable?difficult?no way?hiring internal devs?hiring external devs?knocking sponsors doors?),and which things are needed to complete it(money?motivation?a Bugzilla Testing Week?a RSOC(ReactOS Summer Of Code)?). Summing up, finding a WHOLE solution to this project called ReactOS. I think it is not just matter of a Roadmap. No having a Roadmap(or Milestones) is just the result, not the root of the problems. Thanks for the 3 minutes. _________________________________________________________________ Recibe un SMS de tu Hotmail vayas donde vayas. ¡Date de alta! http://home.mobile.live.com/MobileAttach.mvc/?mkt=es-es

Roadmap I'm sticking to

by Aleksey Bragin

Hello, yesterday we had a usual rant in #reactos-dev regarding organization, teaming and development issues, and I explained how I see it. I think explaining and discussing here would be beneficial. I won't spend your time explaining how I came to this roadmap, I will go right to it. This roadmap is mainly usage-oriented and doesn't cover the kernel (it has its own one). * Finish wine-based subsystem ("arwinss"), fixing all internal (absent in Wine and/or trunk) bugs. Milestone 1: user32 and gdi32 known to work and support at least all the apps listed in the Wine app compat database. * Test as many as possible apps known to work in Wine and determine those which fail. * Fix failing components (kernel32, ntdll, kernel, CSR, non-synced DLLs, etc). Milestone 2: ReactOS supporting quite wide amount of applications, including major apps like MS Office suites, Open Office, CAD systems, Adobe products. Decision point: Because other Win32 components are proven to work, NT- alike user32, gdi32 and win32k development may be boosted, testing simplified. * Implement filesystem drivers, using fastfat_new as a universal skeleton for FS drivers. Use ntfs3g library and that skeleton to develop an NTFS IFS driver. Milestone 3: ReactOS with NTFS support (quite important for end users, thus separated into a standalone milestone). * Total rewrite of networking, using NT's one as a model. Milestone 4: ReactOS with a rock-stable networking. Ability to host database servers, web and FTP servers. * Release 1.0 and profit ;) So that's what I'm sticking to so far. I don't expect everyone to agree, but if more people are involved, achieving these milestones will happen faster. Also, they don't really have to go in a sequence, all of that may be done simulteneously (e.g. filesystem drivers must be developed against Windows 2003; kernel32 and ntdll could be fixed first using winetests without waiting for arwinss to be complete; networking could be again tested in existing ReactOS and Windows). Comments, improvements are welcome. WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Hi Eric, It seems this commit introduces a regression, I've filed bug 5283 (http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5283) there are no prompts to install a driver for unknown hardware (i.e. AC97), I've tested 46702 and this doesn't happen. I've also reverted 46703 and 46714 in ntoskrnl and replaced head's ntoskrnl with it, after that I get the prompt to install the driver again. Thanks.

There's a reason we have locking functions. The fact that in this case it's a stockfont that won't get deleted, doesn't mean we can do this always. If you want performance, keep a global pointer to the font and use GDIOBJ_IncrementShareCount

[ros-diffs] [jgardou] 46698: [WIN32K] Unlock surface when deleting DC

by James Tabor

Since no one is listening (reading) to me about this issue and the response I receive is "WTF are you talking about"! Let me explain one more time..... In reference to commit 46679, I attempted to provide the project an example on how information contexts (IC) are created and removed. Works as a toggle between switching flags and moving the pdc->dclevel.pSurface pointer to and from pdc->pSurfInfo. The name of pSurfInfo should give a good clue. I was surprised when no one on IRC knew anything about this and it explains why the yarotows branch is not taking this into consideration. Remember my rant? Building code from broke code creates more broken code! Thus, increasing the amount of wasted time rewriting it. --- branches/reactos-yarotows/subsystems/win32/win32k/objects/dclife.c [iso-8859-1] (original) +++ branches/reactos-yarotows/subsystems/win32/win32k/objects/dclife.c [iso-8859-1] Sat Apr 3 18:42:04 2010 @@ -377,6 +377,9 @@ PATH_Delete(pdc->dclevel.hPath); + if(pdc->dclevel.pSurface) + SURFACE_ShareUnlockSurface(pdc->dclevel.pSurface); + PDEVOBJ_vRelease(pdc->ppdev) ; return TRUE; __________ Need to check for DC_TYPE_INFO and sometimes for DC_FLAG_TEMPINFODC. Quick check for pSurfInfo if NULL might be helpful too. I'm keeping track of yarotows and I see some needed merging into trunk (head, main branch) soon. 46630 is a good start.
