I'm back

[Aleksey Bragin]

Hello,
I'm back from my vacation which took part in Sweden this time (not  
counting a day passing through Finland). I had a pleasure of meeting  
Stefan Ginsberg ("Stefan100"), Magnus Olsen ("GreatLord"), Simon and  
his wife, and of course Jan Kinander ("JaixBly") who drove some  
hundreds kilometers from his city to meet all of us. I met all those  
persons for the first time in RL except for Stefan, who I met earlier  
this year in Brussels.

After a perfectly guided (mostly by Magnus ;)) tour through the Old  
City (Gamla Stan) in Stockholm, we made the first ReactOS discussion  
attempt in a very nice cafe at the island where Vasa museum is. We  
talked mostly about the history of ReactOS project, how I ended up in  
this project, what were the most problematic moments of its life and  
development ("Hartmut incident", etc), persons involved in ReactOS at  
various points in time. After Jan's parking ticked started expiring  
Simon suggested to move into his office to continue the talk.

We logged in to #reactos from the office, under GreatLord's nickname  
(it was a very unusual feeling when you type things, hit enter, and  
it appears as "<GreatLord> ..."), and we all together discussed  
future ways of ReactOS progress, possible commercial usage, possible  
support, stability and compatibility as usual, products which could  
utilize ReactOS and many many more things.

In the end, we shoot a video introducing all this "conference"  
participants, and it actually shows "Magnus in action" for the first  
time ever. The video seems rather black, and probably has poor  
quality (I haven't transferred it to my PC yet) but it should  
definately be interesting. I will edit it and put on youtube asap.

It was really great to meet all of you!

Now, to the actual development part of the email (why it ended up in  
ros-dev and not ros-general). After I left, I saw number of commits  
significantly decreased, and only some 94 commits were done in my  
absence (roughly 6 per day). Quality matters though, not quantity!

It's time to think about stabilizing what has been done and preparing  
a new release (without arwinss, if someone wonders).

1. Could someone of the testing team please provide me (here) a list  
of regressions (with corresponding bug numbers) introduced with  
recent ARMMM and other changes?
2. What is everyone up to right now, what unfinished work you have,  
what work you are about to finish, what you want and what you don't  
want to go to the next release? No need to write time consuming  
paragraphs of course, just provide a very quick overview / status so  
I and everyone else has idea what you are doing now and what to expect.
3. What's the most up to date GCC 4.4 status, estimates, problems  
(bug # would be enough).

Thanks,
Aleksey Bragin.

[Gabriel ilardi]

Welcome back! I long to see that video...

In the meantime, talking about regressions:

- With ARM commit 41636, memory in use continously decreases, I tested it with only task manager open, this is bug 4835.
- Toolbar in Abiword has some issues, introduced with 42706, comctl32 sync, bug 4811.
- Minimized windows can't be restored, introduced with 41772, bug 4677.
- Programs in startup folder don't start automatically anymore, introduced with 40439, bug 4568.
- Can't close programs with alt+f4 anymore, introduced with 40299. Bug 4463, I've added the hint to fix it.

These are those I remember of atm...

Adding one more regression to the Gabriel list:

-Vbox Memory Management Performance Issue. Now VBOX needs more >=256 MB Ram to work.It hangs in USBDriver.sys.
It just happens in bootcd-dbg (releases arent affected)
Regression test arrived to this Gap: 42150(works as usual)-42263(needs more than 256)
This just happen in Vbox, Vmware isnt affected. Bug 4851

Welcome back. :-D

Regarding GCC, after Stefan's last fixing commit, GCC 4.4.2 builds 
ReactOS quite fine. I uploaded a Image to Colin's Webspace which seems 
to work rather well. On the same location you can find RosBE 1.5 Beta 1, 
which already includes GCC 4.4.2 and a new Binutils Version with Timo's 
patches. It works surprisingly well. I hope HTO will document his steps 
to this nice GCC Build he made.

I'm working on yet another win32k rewrite ;-)
This time driver loading and DC creation. Step 1 will be replacing the
mess we currently have with something that's closer to Windows
architecture.
The code is more or less ready, but there's a nasty font regression
that's hard to track.
Next step will be implementing dynamic mode switching. This will require
a rewrite of the PDEV locking code.

My time is currently very limited as I'm busy with RL stuff. So I'm not
sure when I can finish it.

Regards, Timo

Yes, GUI on demand works with my current code already (doesn't work in
trunk). Switching back doesn't yet work, but I will try to fix this, too.

I'm a mingw-w64 developer now. An inactive mingw-w64 developer, at it.
Nobody is having the good things right now (except me)

I recently attempted to fix the hangs of the automatic regression testing
system at the Kdbg prompt and dug into the Kdbg source for that.
Though I had quickly discovered why we have to resolve non-kernel symbols by
an external application, I could clean up some things in Kdbg and prepared a
patch. Will send it to you soon to check.
Apart from that, I've fixed sysreg2 to call raddr2line properly and resolve
all these symbols from the testing logs. The new version seems to run on the
Build server since yesterday.

By the way, were there any discussions about server stuff with the Swedish
guys? :-)

Best regards,

Colin

Yes, Jan is kind enough to offer hosting at his work. Dynamic IP, a  
bit warm and slightly dusty environment, but totally free 100mbit/s  
line and no electricity limits. I think that could be a nice build  
slave / iso storage / anything else.

Focusing on the Message chain:
Class rewrite part 1 is done, now the starting point for messages are
corrected. The next part will fix Desktop registration and Instance
issues. Most likely add Server Side WndProc support for Desktop only
and keep the rest in User32.

Added the User32 part of Theme message support in this week, next set
of fixes will add the Win32k start up with callbacks. I expect this
will be finished this week or next. Still waiting on the paper I ask
you to write, "The number of callbacks and Why?"!

Moving on to the message subsystem, working on general Messages:
Timers, Keyboard and Mouse. This will include making the RawInput
thread the main start point. The w(h)ine user32 test for dialog will
need to be fixed first. Roll in and fix the Get, Post and Send message
mismatch and disorder with user32 w(h)ine msg tests.

Migration to Menu structures then to Window structures and all related
for changes to them. Tool in the rest of the support as this
progresses on.

This is it for now with Win32k/User32 rewrite.....

Hi and welcome back,

I'm currently busy with my Masters thesis and that will take a lot more
time. It's also related to Software Design and needs my complete focus.
Therefore no ReactOS developments from me atm.

Except from a lot of experimental patches I still got one gimmick in my
tree: a Spider Solitaire clone developed for fun a month ago, based on the
catch22 cardlib our solitaire uses as well. The only important thing it
lacks is a good icon. Couldn't find anything suitable within the Tango icon
set. Found one nice icon on the net, but the author doesn't answer my mails.
If anyone feels like drawing a nice spider icon, feel free to do so and drop
me a line.

G. Schneider

Great, thanks a lot to all of you who replied (those who don't still  
need to :)). I'm going to review current problems and compile a list

I'm absolutely up to my eyeballs in an inherited filter driver and its
surrounding architecture for AppSense.
Thus, I have 0 time to spend on reactos code right now.

As always though, I'm completely available for general project needs,
questions and IRC banter.
Apologise for my lack of commits, I wish I could join in again...

Maybe need a development spike. Something motivational.

I have been busy in rl with new house and work.
I probably wont be able to do much until Nov-Dec, at which point Ill probably fix the last few bugs for wine kernel virtual tests and then go back to fixing misc bugs.
