termination bug

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, the termination bug is in co_DestroyThreadWindows. co_DestroyThreadWindows hangs in an endless loop which calls UserRefObjectCo. UserRefObjectCo allocates some bytes from stack with alloca. After some rounds, the kernel stack is eaten up. - Hartmut

Tenative Blocker list for 0.2.8

by WaxDragon

I've gone though bugzilla and reviewed most of the bugs, here are the ones that are blockers, might become blockers, or caveats we need to keep in mind. I'm sure we will get some real blockers when we release RC1, but this is a start. 805 - Shutdown issues http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=805 This one MUST be fixed, it affects the default install configuration. 493 - excessive repainting in tree-view controls http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=493 I would really like to see some action on this, it renders regedit near useless, and I've seen this bug in other list style controls. Pegs the CPU. 688 - AllocConsole fails on real hardware due to i8042prt http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=688 This is one of the blockers from 0.2.7 that we shipped with. Is there anything that can be done about this? Can we put some debug info into the debug builds so we can gather information? 703 - ReactOS is a fat big. Minimum mem reqs exceeded. http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=703 This one is partially fixed. 32MB installs fail on vmware due to the speed of the file copy operation. 880 - Some dlls stop display output when starting in CLI http://www.reactos.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=880 Not a huge bug that many people see, but this is holding up hpoussin's PnP work. Discuss, WD -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

Re: [ros-dev] Font problem on Japanese version of ReactOS

by tsk

Thank you for telling me that bug. I tried to use outline mplus, which doesn't include bitmap data: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/083.png and tried to use Mona Font with WaxDragon's freetype.dll: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/084.png Modified freetype.dll works well! But I think there still exist some bug with font rendering. One of them is a line break. ReactOS automatically insert line feeds at space. But Japanese text doesn't use space basically, so ReactOS can't insert line feeds to proper position. Many screenshots: http://reactos-j.sourceforge.jp/up/img/085.zip > mf suggested one could comment out #define > TT_CONFIG_OPTION_EMBEDDED_BITMAPS in > lib/freetype/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h to DISABLE the SBIT > support.

Firefox progress

by Ge van Geldorp

For a long time we've had problems with firefox hanging during startup. Well, I have some good news, as of r18418 it at least shows its main window, see http://www.reactos.nl/pics/ff1.png There are still lots of other problems, but I'm pretty sure we can fix those too in the next month or so.

A call for 0.2.8

by WaxDragon

I know how most of the devs feel about releases, but I think it's time to branch 0.2.8. After a period of instability, trunk is now showing stability. GvG and Ged reported surprising stability from the LinuxWorld demo builds, I personally had favorable results from my September State of the Repo tests. Last night I was able to build a ReactOS bootcd under r18404, and then take that bootcd and install it under qemu, under ROS! Gunnar's win32k changes have had some time to bake in and seem ok*. There have been approximately 1800 commits since 0.2.7, and I want those changes to get some general use.. I don't want to *release* now, but I want to tag the branch now, and maybe release in two weeks (which would make three months sine 0.2.7). Putting out an RC1 would give the codebase exposure to the general public, who may find problems we as devs overlook. This will also give devs and testers a change to focus on some of the big issues I see at the moment, *like this mysterious hang we see on shutdown. Also, those who wish to move forward can do so, even breaking / destabilising the tree. Giving us two or three weeks for testing release canidates will also allow for the PnP/USB and ws2_32 work to be merged in before the release. WD -- <arty> don't question it ... it's clearly an optimization

That's not really a restriction. IMO, it's better to develop on Windows, get your program working perfectly and then look at testing it in ReactOS.
