The team mentioned within the announcement that progress has been made in supporting manifests. This module is responsible for finding and loading dependent DLLs of applications. With the new version the Loader (LDR) was also revised. For example, there was a memory leak that was discovered by developer Thomas Faber. However, this dependency has led to problems using the driver in ReactOS. While the fastfat driver is an in-house file system driver of the ReactOS developers, ReactOS has always relied on a third-party driver to support BTRFS. Improvements in the memory management of file systems were also an issue. These occurred when trying to back up the partition of a hard disk with the ODIN backup software. This removed at least one cause for blue screens. For example, Pierre Schweitzers managed to implement corrections to the management of the cache controller's data structures. The announcement on the ReactOS News page mentions some kernel improvements. The ReactOS 0.4.11 announcements sounded good, allegedly the project should have made great progress. So I noticed the announcement on the ReactOS news page, as well as the articles from Softpedia and The Register last week. The idea is to have a MinWin operating system to run Windows applications under Linux. I observe the development of ReactOS, because I am looking at its core (less the GUI) as the basis of a VM.
Details about the development and history may be found at the Wikipedia.
Among other things, the programming interface Win32 is emulated for this purpose.
#REACTOS ETHERNET DRIVER VIRTUALBOX DRIVERS#
This should make it possible to use programs and device drivers for Windows NT and its successor Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7. The goal of ReactOS is to be binary compatible with Windows, especially be binary compatible with the Windows NT kernel. The operating system is mostly licensed under the GNU GPL, but some of its components are licensed under the LGPL or the BSD license. For blog readers who aren't familiar with ReactOS: This is a software project to develop a free operating system.
