News: 0.3.13 is in the forge!!Read more..

Post by vicmarcal »

Hi followers, users, and testers!
We are preparing a new release: The 0.3.13 :)

If you look our latest commits you will see that we have just branched to perform a battery of tests with Real Apps.
During the last months ReactOS has been under a heavy rewrite(Memory Manager rewrite, Heap Manager rewrite, Printf rewrite,among others)so we expect new discovered bugs, regressions and (why not?) new apps working!!The release will try to stabilize current trunk after these important changes, something really needed at the current state.But to achieve that we need a really heavy testing.


My personal bet and a "small surprise"
Opensource believes in Distributed developing but also in Distributed Testing. Indeed more, I believe that Forum users, Developers and Testers are in a same ship helping to reach the best ReactOS possible.

You can find our battery of +100 tests here

Just pick 2 or 3, install them in this ISO and tell us if they work or not. It will take just a couple of minutes and it will speed up this heavy testing. We have been around trying to solve all your doubts and questions, hope you can find 4 minutes to help us now.

With your help we can test these +100 apps in just one day (100/2.5 =40 testers)but it would take at least 2 weeks without it. That is the power of Collaborative/Distributed testing.

This is the first time I ask for a Collaborative Testing thingy in a coordinated way, it is my personal bet, so please show out there that you are part(and feel part) of this project too!!


The small surprise:
Those who help on this (plus Devs and all those guys who have sent cool patches) will win a little "recognition reward" which will be available on 4th April. Surprise!Surprise! :)

Summing up
1)Install the ISO
1)Open our battery of +100 tests
2)Select 2 or 3 non-tested apps.
2)Edit the Wiki( "Edit" button) and add if it works or not
3)Answer to this Topic with your Nickname and the 2 Tested Apps. Also tell me if you want to have this small "recognition reward" and if i can make use of your nicknames for it.
4)Thanks :)

Hello. Why the wiki stays all blue, even when we edit the fields?

My summary so far, I continue testing.

Abiword 2.6.8
Graphics glitches and displaying errors.
Plugins work.

Abiword 2.8.6
Same than previous version.

7-zip 9.20
Works, some random crashes.

CCleaner 3.03
Works fine. But after I closed it, the system starts to fail, restarting makes it work again.

DOSBox 0.74
Crashes at startup, install fine.
The error windows says (without program name nor other useless transcript):
"ReactOS C Runtime Library
Assertion failed!
Program (obvious)
File: dll/3rdparty/mesa32/src/drivers/windows/gdi/wmesa.c
Line: 124

Expression: pwfb->cColorBits == 0 || pwfb->cColorBits == 16 || pwfb->cColorBits == 24 || pwfb->cColorBits == 32"
The same says in the DOSBox window.

SCUMMVM
Works OK, tested with Monkey Island. Except it does not answer to me (just keeps reproducing the game like no one is using the computer) after I enter to the game. I'll check in a minute.
EDIT:
I checked, change some config, and it works until I try to open the door of the SCUMM Bar, I think maybe next friday I can make further testing on this, the debug windows says it is another assertion fail, this time in the file sound/mixer.cpp, line 231, expression _mixerReady. With this, the app crashes.

Diablo II Demo
Installer freezes while installing... for a few minutes, then, it finishes what seems to be correctly. In fact, seems to be the launcher the one which fails, since when I try to play the game it freezes the whole system.

Sudoku Portable
Starts, but the graphics fails so heavy it is not usable.

Unreal Commander
Installs OK, but fails to start up.

With this I finish my testing for today, I should be studying :P

On the other hand, shall I do another testing, or just see if it works correctly?
