Subject: [ros-dev] 0.3 release plan - Again
Hi All,
My how history repeats itself. I would like to call for a feature freeze
on Jan 1st
with the
approval of the Testing Coordinator. Although we have
not had that many
releases of the 0.2.x line
I feel enough has changed to and that we need to bump
to 0.3. Lets review
some history
0.1.x - winhello
0.2.x - explorer and a few wine dlls
0.3.x - OpenGL games, Firefox, Mirc, OpenOffice, third party drivers,
start of PnP,
USB, Xbox
support, Initial DirectX Support, etc
For the record we really did not plan on all of this other stuff for 0.3
and a year
ago most of us
would have been happy with just Firefox and Mirc
working under VMware and
Qemu. In fact we were
planning on that work for the 0.3 line to be included
in 0.4 release.
Which is great! I am happy
to see that we have gone much further beyond our once
limited goals.
What I propose now is that everyone that has a open project try to either
get it to
a Alpha state
by Jan 1st or admit that it just wont be ready for 0.3
and accept that.
Current major works in progress:
DirectX - GreatLord
USB - Fireball
PnP - hpoussin
Ws2 - Ionescu
msvcDDK - sedwards
Can we get all of these in for 0.3? Ws2 is a showstopper for 0.3, USB at
least for
the Xbox in my
mind is a showstopper as well. PnP would be really,
really nice to have
but if its not ready I
think we should ship anyway and plan on doing a short
run to 0.4 before we
fully support PnP.
DirectX I have no idea how close it is to working and
my current pet
project for MSVC/DDK and
rbuild is not a feature. I would like to be able to
build ReactOS with our
DDK under msvc in the
hopes of getting more developers to join the project
and improve the
quality of our code but I am
happy to admit this is not a priority.
So what does everyone think? Can we shot for a feeze for Jan 1st? How does
Feb 1st
sound for a
release?
Thanks
Steven
