0.2.9

[Brandon Turner]

I am building RC1 right now and hopfully will publish it later on this 
afternoon.  I am including rosapps as we did in 0.2.8.  I am wondering 
how people feel about the changing the preloaded qemu release to have 
800x600res by default and the background to something some picture?

Why don't you change the resolution to 800x600 for everything?
The dialogs in the second part of setup are all a bit higher than 640, 
so you can't see the buttons on the bottom of the dialogs with the 
default res 640x480...
And a default background pic would be nice, but maybe we should 
demonstrate this feature with the 0.3.0 release, because it is something 
you can see, unlike most other 0.3.0 features.

Greets,

Chaning default to 800*600 seems like a good idea. It also seems as a
good idea to change the default color depth to 16-bit or 24-bit. Or is
this just a visual bug in the display settings dialog?

A question related to that QEMU image. Wouldn't it be nice to have the most
current version of ROS available as a VMWare Virtual Machine, now that
VMWare released the VMWare player?!

It runs much quicker and it will still allow people to get the software
freely. I know there is usually some reluctance if it comes to using
"closed-source" in relation to open source projects, but here it could be
very useful and much more impressive as well, since VMWare is a dynamic
emulator unlike QEMU which fully emulates a x86.

What do you think?

I've spent the last 6 months or so just lurking and seeing what's going 
on with the ReactOS project and am really impressed how it's coming 
along. Good work guys! Just wanted to add my tuppence worth on the subject.

I can't imagine it would do any harm at all to release a VMWare ReactOS 
virtual machine. If nothing else, it would only help promote the project 
showing the performance of ReactOS that QEMU possibly couldn't. It'd be 
a good thing to offer both anyway, that's how I see it. Talking of 
which, I'm going to go build a vmware virtual machine and have another 
look at reactos!

Cheers and keep up the good work!

You need to branch and eventually tag it all (not just trunk/reactos)
so we can find and retrieve the exact revision of the point in time
of the release, in the future. It doesn't consume extra space to branch
it all.

I wasn't sure weather I should branch all of trunk or just trunk/reactos 
and sedwards suggested trunk/reactos so I went with it.  What would you 
like to be done, delete this branch and redo it with trunk?

There is only one change on the branch so delete & re-copy shouldn't be too difficult.

Ok, should be branched correctly now.
