I quote from the ReactOS Weekly Newsletter - Volume 1, Issue 8 "0.2.9? Another One? Yup, we have another release planned for you all. 0.2.9 is our last release before the very-much-anticipated 0.3.0 release." Could we stop saying that? 0.3.0 is not the release after 0.2.9, nor 0.2.8, nor 0.2.5! 0.3.0 will happen when we hit the stated goals, and unless networking gets some serious attention, we will see 0.2.10. So, please, can we stop saying "This is the last release before 0.3.0"? It makes us look bad, and confuses people when we release yet another 0.2.x. Don't get me wrong, we are closer to 0.3.0 than ever before, but there are still many bugs. WD -- <Russell> argh <Russell> iterator shenanigans :/

dealing with insecure-by-inattention Windows software

by Wesley Parish

"insecure-by-inattention" - by that I mean software that must run as super-user or otherwise (otherstupidly) it won't run at all. ReactOS is not only intended as a plug-in replacement for MS Windows, if I read this-and-that correctly, it's also intended to "get it done right". And so we can't have super-user as default user, because that is Microsoft's thorn-in-the-flesh, and they can have it. I don't want it. What I've been thinking is there is quite a bit of useful information and knowledge being actively developed and used in the Unix/BSD/Linux field for handling that sort of problem. The BSD chroot jail is one such implementation - there are even some aspects of the MS Windows directory structure that would simplify the adaption of the chroot jail to the ReactOS. [hardware]\Program Files\Abracadabra-Malware-Magnet\ "Abracadabra-Malware-Magnet" is a separate subdirectory within the Program Files directory. Chroot jail, if I remember correctly, requires a separate directory for each chrooted program so it sees itself as the one-and-only love of its kernel's uptime. The MS Windows directory structure already has this separable directory structure. What needs to be done is to ensure that it thinks it's the only one around. There would be some sizeable problems - ensuring that the dlls would be sufficiently robust to avoid being hijacked, is just one, ensuring that it couldn't make any changes to dlls outside its directory is a bigger one, but that could be handled by making sure it installed all its (uniquely) needed dlls in its chroot jail. Which a lot of Win32 programs do anyway. What do people think? Wesley Parish "Sharpened hands are happy hands. "Brim the tinfall with mirthful bands" - A Deepness in the Sky, Vernor Vinge "I me.

Assertion 'Class->refs == 0' failed at ./subsys/win32k/ntuser/class.c line 69

by Royce Mitchell III

Latest SVN is crashing with the following message: Assertion 'Class->refs == 0' failed at ./subsys/win32k/ntuser/class.c line 69 I created bug report here: http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1145 This bug only occurs on ANSI build of app, and is 100% reproduceable for me. I suspect this bug may effect 0.2.9...

getfirefox

by Ged Murphy

Although we're in feature freeze, do you think it's worth including the getfirefox utility to the 0.2.9 branch? It's a great little app and I had firefox running for a few hours last night with no real issues. I'm thinking it would be good to get lots of feedback to ensure it's stable for the upcoming network release. As this will be one of our selling points, we need to ensure it's stability. Ged.
