Hi! I have been working on some improvements to the device installer functions of the setupapi dll. I am able to install class installers on my machine and retrieve information about installed class installers. My plan is to reorganize the setupapi dll in order to add the configuration manager apis to this dll and to convert setupapi to a ReactOS dll. The reason for this change is that additions to the device installer apis or configuration manager apis are not usable by WINE because it does neither support windows drivers nor a PnP-Manager. Of course, all additions to setupapi will be licensed under the LGPL so Wine developers can port useful code as they see fit. What do you think? Regards, Eric

regression tests and reactos/apps/tests

by Steven Edwards

Hello, I am going to move reactos/apps/tests in to rosapps as the current system of tests we have there does not fit in with the ideas of regression testing. I know there might be some objections to this but it is not hard to checkout rosapps or add your own custom test there if you want. We really need to put some effort in to using (And merging the Wine tests in to) the regression system Jason and Casper have developed. Thanks Steven __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Bug in freetype.dll?

by Hartmut Birr

Hi, sometimes I see a debug messages like this: (mm/npool.c:1641) Trying to allocate 254736304 bytes from nonpaged pool - nothing suitable found, returning NULL (objects/text.c:1832) WARNING: Failed to render glyph! If this occurs the desktop background is flashing white. The big allocation request comes from freetype\src\raster\ftrend1.c line #178. Has anyone an idea what is wrong? - Hartmut

Timers and Scheduler - "What I learned on my fall vacation"

by Steven Edwards

Hello, I know we already have a few tests like this in the ReactOS tree but I have not had time to look at all of them or dig in to this at all. I am forwarding part of a message from Jeremy White along with some tests of timers and schedualing in case anyone wants to compare Windows and ReactOS. We ran in to quite a few issues under CrossOver with Office applications and were able to work around them. Even applications such as Internet Explorer are affected. See recent hacky patches on wine-devel for winmm timer resolution. Anyway here is a bit of his notes and the collection of tests if anyone is interested. Thanks Steven ".....Spinning threads get all the cpu they can chew; being in a foreground Window gives a pretty high bias, but otherwise things seem to be evenly spread. Aric did a test program which showed how SetThreadPriority biases things; it tends to be that only priorities -2 through 2,and 15, have any meaning. Further, if threads yield, then only thetop priority threads get any time. If all threads 'work', then there is a stair step effect where high priority threads get 'more', but don't necessarily get it all." _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

advpack.dll

by Steven Edwards

Hello, I guess the message is directed at James. I am going to merge our implementation of advpack.dll with the current winehq implementation. Any objections or suggestions?

ReactOS scripts (to make life easy) ;)

by Francisco TLF

Hi. I made some modifications on scripts to compile ReactOS (on linux, but I don't know if they works in some other plattform). You can check it at: http://telefrancisco.iespana.es/telefrancisco/linux/reactos/ Best regards. ______________________________________________________ Get Paid...

I can swear fs:18h was still used until NT 5.2. Also, it would be of critical importance to: 1) Change the hardcoded offsets to FIELD_OFFSET(...,...) 2) Make the ASM use the defines instead of hardcoding 1Ch/18h Best regards, Alex Ionescu
