Wrong place to ask I know - I logged in about a week ago, now I can't log in

by Nathan Lane

So I logged in and registered my user name about a week ago with ReactOS, and now I am unable to log in. I tried resetting my password on the site, and it still won't let me log in. Can you direct me to information on how I can get logged in, or what may have happened? Thanks, Nathan

Re: [ros-dev] Discussion: Release policy changes

The lack of action isn't doing ROS any favours though, the 0.3.1 release has been promised on various news sites for 31st December, and we haven't even branched for it yet!! I'm prepared to help kick start this new release system off, if it'll help to stop ROS going for another year without releasing. I propose we pick the most stable recent release, branch it and prepare for a Dec 31st release according to the new release system. If everyone is in agreement, I'll start making the necessary arrangements. Ged.

A few ideas requiring discussion

by Aleksey Bragin

Hello, there are a few ideas I would like to get feedback about: 1) iBrowser. Do we need it nowadays in the tree, when we have firefox working? 2) In order to slightly decrease a load to our build servers, Alex proposes to build Debug version without any optimizations at all, thus increasing compilation speed. For regression testing, release builds should be used, since release builds are the most sensitive to possible errors. 3) RBuild improvement - the "components bundles" concept should be (re)introduced: if I type "make <directory name>", I would like to get all components inside that directory to be built. 4) Dependency map of ReactOS - maybe this should be implemented inside of RBuild too. Dependency map is a tree, which shows how modules depend from each other. Fortunately, we don't need to do this by hand, since we can use rbuild's parsers/etc. Output format of the map - open for suggestions. If someone feels he is able to do point 3 or 4 - this is greatly appreciated, and will help development of ReactOS. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

Discussion: Release policy changes

by Aleksey Bragin

Hello, I'd like to hear opinions regarding the change in release policy. The proposition: Release happens on a strict time basis, like once per month. That means, at the end of the month we look for the best revision inside this month (probably which is closer to the end of the month), branch from it, apply all fixes (if any), and release. Disadvantage: a few coming releases' quality will be overall lower, there might be things like 0.3.25 (if release frequency is set too high, and this is not a disadvantage actually). Advantages: in the long run quality goes up, more developers due to higher release rate, more publicity, people will finally realize it's an alpha product, more bugs reported, no signs of a dead project (I doubt there are healthy projects doing 1 release per year :)). Any thoughts are appreciated. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

The first newsletter

by Dana Burkart

Okay, I'm in the middle of composing a test newsletter that will hopefully be accepted. I would like all the developers to respond to this with a short description of what they're currently working on so I can be as accurate as possible in that section of it (and I don't want to forget anyone). Thank you.

Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [mist] 25062: ReactOS Intel Mac compatibility commits, part 1/2, by Michael Steil. == A20 Gate and the Keyboard Controller == In order to turn on the A20 gate, the keyboard controller has to be emptied. This is done in freeldr by reading bytes until the keyboard controller signals it's empty. Intel Macs don't have PS/2 keyboard controller and the status register always reads back 0xFF, so the "there is data" bit will never be cleared. (The same problem has been in GRUB as well as i

Thanks to these bugfixes, ReactOS now boots on Intel Macs (I tested it on Intel Core Duo MacMini), and in Parallels virtual machine. With the best regards, Aleksey Bragin.

I'm glad you said that, I was thinking the exact same thing but was gonna check before I posted anything. Ged.
