This month in ReactOS (2015-10)
This month in ReactOS (2015-10)
This list tracks progress of Core. It does not include the Build Environment, Tests, or Online Services.
This month we saw:
* 314 commits (r69421-r69767) from 16 developers
* 172 new issues created
* 97 issues resolved as fixed (121 resolved overall)
Notable developments
Simplifying the build process
CORE-10121
Previously when building ReactOS, it was first necessary to build a set of tools for the host. The new style builds, now enabled by default, tracks both the host tools and ReactOS. This allows for a single command to build the project.
RApps file verification
CORE-10301
RApps now has support for SHA-1 integrity checks of downloaded packages. This is an optional feature for applications in the manager, which can be used by adding a SHA1 field in the corresponding INI file.
New ext2 file system driver
CORE-10272
Matt Wu’s ext2 file system driver has replaced the existing ext2 file system driver.
UEFI Boot loader progress
Alex Ionescu has made another progress dump of his UEFI boot loader work. His work this month provides an initial implementation for reading, parsing, mounting, and loading the BCD hive into a data store.

(I hope that's everyone. I simply looked through the SVN commit messages.)
Other news
The ReactOS developer monthly meeting took place today, 29 October. Look for the meeting minutes soon (i.e., whenever dreimer has time for it).
Amine has made creating issues on JIRA less intimidating. "Create Issue" has been simplified to the most used fields. Additional fields may still be modified after creating the issue.
DBMS Linter BASION successfully tested on ReactOS. (Russian)

Re: This month in ReactOS
Nice! Do you plan on doing this every month?
I use ReactOS on real hardware. Will you? My Computers: https://www.reactos.org/wiki/PC_ROS_Rigs Go all the way to the bottom.

Re: This month in ReactOS
I think this thread is an extremely good idea - thank you so much!
Re: This month in ReactOS
Thanks for this post, though I read the reports posted in Jira daily, it is nice to read someone else's take on them, especially when they know much more than I do. And you have basically answered a question that I had yet to ask about the build system.This month in ReactOS

Please keep the Windows classic 9x/2000 look and feel.

They may help you with a problem, so do have a look at them.

Re: This month in ReactOS
Nice idea indeed
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.

Nice! I hope this will remove the "JIRA bureaucracy" argument.tcrawford wrote:Amine has made creating issues on JIRA less intimidating. "Create Issue" has been simplified to the most used fields. Additional fields may still be modified after creating the issue.
I applaud this monthly report as well Since each report will probably get its own post, could you please rename the post name to reflect the month?
Re: This month in ReactOS
Well done!
What a great initiative, and well presented.
I hope you have the time to present a monthly account, if so forum members and visitors will see at a glance that this project is VERY much alive and kicking, and all those participating in the progression have never taken their eye off the ball or foot of the gas!

Re: This month in ReactOS
I personally very like this form of monthly digest from tcrawford.
Re: This month in ReactOS
freeldr.ini has nothing to do with GPT/MBR/ whatever else. Better ask whether freeldr.sys will be compatible with GPT systems. The answer is "probably".erkinalp wrote:Will FreeLDR.ini be compatible with GPT systems?

Re: This month in ReactOS (2015-10)
Neat! The project needed something like this badly so that everyone can stay updated at a glance.
Thanks for stepping up and doing a short and comprehensive monthly digest. This is great!

Re: This month in ReactOS
NTLDR does not make use of boot.ini in GPT systems and GPT NTLDR shares part of code with MBR NTLDR. I have got curious about that.hbelusca wrote:freeldr.ini has nothing to do with GPT/MBR/ whatever else. Better ask whether freeldr.sys will be compatible with GPT systems.

Nice overview. Thank you!
In order to simplify your summary: I wouldn't need the list of contributors. But just my two cents...
