[ros-dev] 0.33rc2?

[Bernd Blaauw]

Is there going to be a new release candidate of ReactOS version 0.3.3? I 
tested it very shortly and was very impressed with how it looked in 
comparison to version 0.3.0. Is there a list of known bugs as feedback 
from 0.3.3rc1 testers? Searching through Bugzilla might be a bit too 
much :).
Anyway, the issues I experience in VMware 6.00 on WinXP Pro x64 host so 
far are:
* diskette drive not visible (and/or working). Ever since 0.2.8 or so?
* shutdown does not close the virtual machine (might be improper 
shutdown). Screen goes all black and need to enter VMware menu to 
shutdown the ReactOS virtual machine.

Is the AUTORUN.INF by now the only file on the root of the CD? icons and 
readme files can go in subdirectories I guess, which makes adding 
ReactOS to multi-installation CDs a lot easier (a CD/DVD containing 
setup or LiveCD of various operating systems, mostly using the Isolinux 
bootloader for a frontend menu and chainloading bootsectors).

I've not extensively tested the RC1 on for example if it still can 
complete installation and bootup with 32MB or less RAM installed (VMware 
allows anywhere from 4MB to 8GB in increments of 4MB, Bochs/Qemu allow 
1MB increases).

A resolved item I noticed in this new release was the ability to enter 
digits for the computername, wasnt possible previously in 0.3.0 or 0.3.1.


ReactOS is getting interesting by now..a Win32 operating system with a 
size of about 50MB and capable of playing huge games sooner or later. 
Looks like a blessing to my limited size (16GB) DRAM based solid state disk.
