THE HAPPY END! SHELL MERGED!

[ctasan]

By bye 0.3.x!

As of r64596, the new shell has been.... COMPLETELY MERGED INTO THE TRUNK!

[Swyter]

I'm so happy! :) This is an historic date for the project. Compiling as I write this.
So many hours of research and coding put into it by so many knowledgeable people.

And this is just the beginning! There is a long way to go.

YES!!!! No more waiting 2 hours for it to compile! ReactOS 0.4 could be released quicker since the new shell merged.

Congrats to all the devs who worked on this very important goal

Small commit for the shell-experiments people, but a minor X-mas present for anyone else, congratulations and thanks! And now, let the fixfest begin

In russian (french too) locale this end is NOT happy end. Explorer_NEW has no items in start menu at all. Makes ReactOS UNusable. Needs to be fixed ASAP!

The back, forward and directory up buttons work now! It's awesome to see all the devs' hard work finally starting to pay off. Just goes to show, this project still has the potential to realize its goals, and is not just a far-fetched dream.

Well, the fact that the shell is merged doesn't mean it's bug-free. Let some time for fixing and it's gonna be fine, I'm sure.

Hmm, I thought I was pretty clear when I said, in the merge commit:

* Merging this branch is not the end.. it's the beginning of some serious bug fixing based hopefully on the Community's continuous feedback.

By saying that, I did not mean that "all of the work is finished".

This is amazing! it's beautiful, the work really shows. Everything works, far less graphical bugs, it really feels a lot more like a genuine Windows now. Even the Lotus theme works now, in the old explorer it made pretty much everything bug out on me. I haven't even found any real bugs yet, I don't know if Firefox 33 counts since pretty much all of it is bugged, like this.

What's the ETA on moving icons around? I notice that doesn't work yet. That was actually one of the main things I was looking forward to in the move from explorer to exploer_new, haha
