Hi, It was Steven's idea that I should post this emai and I agreedl, so please don't take it as my personal childish attempt to get attention, unless you find that both I and Steven (our Project Coordinator) are children. Steven has recently expressed his opinion that: (modified quote so that "your" -> "my") "My arrogant attitude hurts this project more then any amount of code or patches I commit will ever help it." Therefore, since: 1) I really care about this project 2) I don't wish to spend time writing useless code (since no amount of code will help the project more then I hurt it, then the code is useless, like heating a room where the windows are open in winter). I think it's important to know if this is a public opinion or not, so I am opening a public ML vote. If it is, then I will gladly leave and stop hurting this project, since those were not my intentions when I joined. If this is the case, then I only regret for having stayed here so long and done nothing but hurt the project for almost two years now, and I'm sorry. [ ] Alex's arrogant attitude hurts this project more then his code helps it. Alex should therefore leave, so that the project can stop being hurt. [ ] Alex's arrogant attitude is annoying at times but his presence in this project significantly helps it grow and move towards reaching its goals, and does not hurt the project. Best regards, Alex Ionescu

State of the 0.2.9 branch

by Ge van Geldorp

At the moment, there's one blocker bug registered, 1107: Opening a Command Prompt (console) window causes the desktop to hang. A lot of networking apps crash, all due to the same bug. Arty is working on that one. On each boot, I have to get rid of 5 device install screens. I'm not complaining, I understand PnP is a work in progress, but if nobody objects I'll change the code in the branch to never pop up the device install screens. Last item is perhaps a bit controversial. I don't like the huge icons in the start menu. It also makes the start menu not fit in 640x480. Can we please go back to smaller icons? Other than these items (only 1 of them serious as far as I'm concerned) I like the branch and I believe it will become a good release. GvG

The return value must be the number of characters (in VerLanguageNameW). - Hartmut

screensavers

by Kenneth Armstrong

I know that this is fluff, but I would like to contribute a good, honest attempt at making a screensaver program for ReactOS. Basically, what I am looking for is how is the API set up for ReactOS to write programs for it? I am familiar with writing programs for Windows, and I know the basic ins and outs of making a screensaver for Windows (including it's registry settings), however there is some API specific code that I need in order to give this a shot. Do you guys have a reference of some kind as to what API functions, constants, etc. that you have implemented in ReactOS that mirror those of Windows? Thanks in advance, and if there isn't enough in ReactOS yet for me to try this out yet, then I'll try to help on something else that I would be capable of. And I must say, and I'm not trying to kiss ass here, but I really appreciate what you guys are working at here. Keep it up. Kenneth Armstrong

Usage of RtlAllocateHeap

by M Bealby

Hi, First of all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Martin and I am currently attempting to go through and audit the ReactOS source code for security vulnerabilities. I've been keeping an eye on the project for about a year now and I think as development is now rapidly increasing, security must take more and more of a priority. I started with the kernel32 library on Friday (9th) and have found a number of possible security vulnerabilies. These have been filed with bugzilla and i'm very impressed with the rate that these were fixed. So well done on that count! However, after submitting bugs #1102 and #1103 (now fixed by BrandonTurner) it became apparent that incorrect usage of the RtlAllocateHeap function (and its alias HeapAlloc) is quite common. It may return NULL if memory cannot be allocated and in some parts of the code this is not checked. This would lead to a segmentation fault on reading / writing. Through some judicious use of grep I went through the source code and extracted calls to this function with their context. After going through each one and investigating it I have now found another twenty occurances of the same bug (This is just in the kernel32 library). I am writing this to let all developers know that they must check their return values. Errors can exist, resources may be starved and the call may fail. Make sure your code can cope with this. Finally, as I am fairly new to bugzilla, should I submit each of these twenty bugs individually or should I submit them all as one bug? Cheers, Martin

Re: [ros-svn] [gvg] 20062: Files to create Mozilla Control installer with correct DLL

by David Hinz

Can't we include Mozilla Control in ReactOS? So that we build it with our ROS Build Environment or whatever is used to compile ReactOS, put it on bootcd and install it with ReactOS?

by Ge van Geldorp

> From: gvg(a)svn.reactos.com > > Files to create Mozilla Control installer with correct DLL I've created a "fixed" version of the Mozilla Control installer which includes the correct MSVCP60.DLL and put it in our SourceForge download area. shdocvw.dll will now download/install that fixed version.
