Here is a short and sweet draft of a ReactOS newsletter for the month of July- comments and suggestions are more than welcome.
ReactOS Newsletter, July 2004
ReactOS is an Open Source project licensed under the GNU General Public License, which aims at the high mark of being a commercially viable alternative for markets currently using versions of Microsoft Windows(tm) based on the NT kernel, such as Windows NT 4, Windows 2000, and Windows XP, with full application and driver support. While development of Reactos is still in its early stages, great amounts of effort have been poured into the project over the past month.
Art Yerks and Alex Ionesco have been diligently working on ironing out all the snags with their TCP/IP implementation, and with several other networking related tasks. While it is still uncertain when truly functional networking will be working under ReactOS, the work done this month has brought that goal tangibly closer.
Another boon this month was Structured Exception Handling. While not terribly interesting to most users, it is an important feature of a stable NT based kernel, which provides a means to trap exception faults, and prevent them from causing other problems for the host. S.E.H is a big step toward a functionally stable environment within ReactOS. While work continues, ReactOS now has a crude, but serviceable S.E.H implementation.
Other things that have received attention this month are preliminary sound card support, a performance rewrite of the FAT file system driver, fixes for removable media support, and the beginnings of porting WINE's DirectX implementation, in addition to a multitude of compatibility and bug fixes.
For more information, please visit the ReactOS homepage at HTTP://WWW.ReactOS.COM . Feel free to visit us on our FreeNode IRC channel, #Reactos, or on our mailing lists. We look forward to hearing from you!
