Host Tools
- Fix compiler warnings treated as errors when using GCC 4.3.2 (Dmitry Gorbachev, bug #3849)
- Rearrange "host/typedefs.h" to make it look more logical, fix a wrong definition of INT_PTR and UINT_PTR in this file (Colin Finck)
RBUILD
- Don't decide whether to preprocess .spec files based on Kernel-Mode vs. User-Mode, but on the file extension. Preprocessed files use the .pspec extension now (Colin Finck)
- Removed some checks for uppercased file extensions (Colin Finck)
- Reenable testing on undefined properties, they are treated as being empty now (Colin Finck)
WIDL
- Don't assume that host void* is the same size as target void* (Jeffrey Morlan)
Core
Bootloader (FreeLoader)
- Allow alternate ReactOS path on live-CD (Andrew Greenwood)
- Add special ReactOSSetup OS type which calls setupldr (Andrew Greenwood)
Kernel and Executive (NTOSKRNL)
- Fixed SMP build compilation and enable it by default. It does not boot due to massive lack of SMP support in critical areas (Stefan Ginsberg)
CM
DBGK
- Fix various bugs and some missing handling of failure cases in the DBGK implementation. This makes Ollydbg able to attach, detach, suspend and resume processes under debug without causing weird kernel crashes (Stefan Ginsberg)
EX
- Fixed implementation of PsCreateProcessNotifyRoutine (Michael Martin)
- Fixed dereferencing of wrong object in NtCreateProfile, pProcess not Process. (Michael Martin)
- Fix an array overrun in NtQuerySystemInformation and NtSetSystemInformation (KJK::Hyperion, CID 527 and CID 528)
FSRTL
IO
- NtWrite/ReadFile: Fix a bug where RequestorMode would always be set to KernelMode, which would cause user-mode APCs to be called directly from kernel (Stefan Ginsberg)
KD
KDBG
- Fix KDBGs usage of PsLookupThread/ProcessByThread/ProcessId, which leaked references every time we attached to a process/thread (Stefan Ginsberg)
KE
- Deprecate SharedUserData->TickCountLowDeprecated (Stefan Ginsberg)
MM
- Implement VirtualMemoryInformationClass of MemorySectionName for NtQueryVirtualMemory. (Michael Martin)
- Use volatile with PagesLocked and MdlAddress in MiDoMappedCopy, to prevent bugcheck when code in SEH failed. (Michael Martin, Bug #3674)
- MmMapViewOfSection: Fix a missing unlock of the kernel address space in some failure cases (Stefan Ginsberg)
OB
PS
SMSS
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)
- Fix broken implementation of KdComPortInUse (Stefan Ginsberg)
Run Time Library (RTL)
Kernel Mode Drivers
FASTFAT
- When allocating a cluster, decrement the AvailableClusters count to keep reported free space consistent (Jeffrey Morlan)
- Fixed bug where extending the size of an already non-empty file would crash if disk space runs out; also optimized that code so it doesn't always have to traverse the entire file (Jeffrey Morlan)
NPFS
- Re-implemented read/write for message type mode. (Michael Martin)
- Fixed bug in NpfsRead that was causing thread to not wake from wait. (Michael Martin)
- Fixed problems with not being able to terminate threads that used pipe functions. (Michael Martin)
- Modified NpfsSetPipeInformation to not allow changing read mode to message mode for byte stream type pipes. (Michael Martin)
- Modified NpfsCreatePipe so that clients for NamedPipes always start off in byte stream mode. (Michael Martin)
- Implemented NpfsPeekPipe. (Michael Martin)
VIDEOPRT
- Add missing assignments to all CallingProcess variables in int10.c. (Michael Martin, Bug #2286)
- Fixed memory corruption in VideoPortInt10 implementation. (Michael Martin, Bug #2286)
- Fixed bug in VideoPortGetAccessRanges, causing the device to not be found on the bus. (Michael Martin, Bug #2286)
ACPI
- Now compiles with Visual C++ (KJK::Hyperion)
NT System Library (NTDLL)
Static Libraries
Keyboard Layouts
- Add Czech QWERTZ keyboard layout (Radek Liska, bug #4031)
