The changelog for 0.2.7 in terms meaningful to technical end-users.

Generic

Overview

With the release of 0.2.7 we, the ReactOS Team, have once again gained further compatibility with Microsoft Windows. We have aligned our headers with those of the Windows SDK which gives us a greater range of driver compatibility. We have also keep ourselves compliant with the latest GCC compiler which with our new build system provides a faster and more efficient building processing. We have elected a new UI coordinator and work has begun to redo the interfaces seen by the user. Many of our advancements not be easily seen by the end user, rest assured that the inter workings are coming together with work in USB, Plug and Play, and networking that will blow you away in our next release.

Main 0.2.7 Changes

Known Bugs

ReactOS will fail to boot with a AllocConsole error when a ps/2 mouse is not attached on some hardware. Bug 688

This ReactOS release requires 64MB RAM to complete the first stage installer. Bug 703

    • Cleaned up IopAllocateVpb
    • Optimized IoCreateDevice, add support for more flags and remove hard-coded sector size and incorrect sizes being set.
    • Fixed IRP Code not to zero out the IRP, free MDLs in failure cases, set the right IRP flags and set the I/O Object Type.
    • Reimplemtented 2nd-stage completion for IRPs to free ALL MDLs, free memory depending on the flags used, don't call I/O Completion if an APC is registered, don't set event/call APCs in some failure cases, don't use certain fields after the pointer can become invalid.
    • Use the right stack count in I/O Operations.
    • Fixed IopDeleteFile to fix a memory leak and dereference the completion port.
    • Fixed IopCloseFile, NtQueryInformationFile, NtFlushBuffersFile, NtQueryDirectoryFile, NtReadFile, NtWriteFile, NtSetInformationFile, IopSecurityFile, IopQueryFileName, NtDeviceIoControlFile, NtLockFile, NtUnlockFile which contained several bugs related to IRPs and completion, which were making assumptions or not supporting all the possibilities, as well as signlaing the wrong event or making the wrong kind of call, or using the wrong device object.
    • Implemented Lookaside lists for IRP packets to increase the allocation/deallocation speed by over 400%.
    • Optimized Completion Packets by piggybacking them on IRP packets if possible, and added the right memory flags to free them properly.

    • Rewrote ObjectType creation to match the structures, flags and semantics present in NT's Object Manager, from the caller's point of view.
    • Implemented Object Create Information structure and semantics when capturing data from user-mode, securing and removing a lot of kernel exloits.
    • Fixed ObCreateObject and ObInsertObject to work like on Windows. ObCreateObject only allocates the Object, while ObInsertObject does everything else.
