ReactOS 0.4.0 Released

[Amine Khaldi]

Nearly ten years ago the ReactOS Project released version 0.3.0. Today 
we are proud to announce the formal release of version 0.4.0!

A great deal of work has gone into making this release happen and as we 
look back it is remarkable to consider how far the project has come 
since that release a decade ago. This release is both a celebration of 
and a testament to everything that the ReactOS team and community has 
achieved together.

Here we document some of the highlights that separate 0.4.0 from not 
just the 0.3.17 release but also the cumulative achievements that the 
0.3.x series achieved: https://reactos.org/project-news/reactos-040-released

A changelog is available at: https://reactos.org/wiki/ChangeLog-0.4.0

Thank you to all of you for having stood by the project for this long 
and we hope rewarding journey.

For those of you chomping at the bit to check out the release, please go 
to the download page to get it now: https://reactos.org/download

Where is the pre-packaged Virtual Box zip file? I could not find it
anywhere in the sourceforge download area?

We are creating it ASAP. There was an
unexpected delay in preparing it, 
and we didn't want to delay the release just because of that, especially 
as many people can try the release in VirtualBox themselves (manually) 
without a preloaded package.

Cheers,
Amine.

OK

I'm waiting for it to try but I agree not dealying the release because of
this.

Thank you.

Hermes was the one that packaged it and elected to keep it at second
stage to, let users pick locale and username and etc.
