Or do something to bring devs

I personally (!) believe, that 0.4.15 might be released in any random moment regardless the list of blockers.
Only few of that blockers are really serious regressions with consequences.
Mike
we need more communication and to bring in more people
Eris
last i tried the nightly (was eons ago) it was stupidly stable, i'm really surprised there hasnt been a release by now
Eris
Yeah yeah, same as always... Petty behavior in the release management does not speed up the development, it slows it down by letting the public interest starve for news. Wonderful decision!
stupid question, but cant you vote out the one who is managing releases and get someone in who better understands how the show is run?
KuboF
Uh, so much blockers... Judging by this, 0.4.15 will not be released the near time.
sincerely, I am amazed by the GUI installer. not for me, I am OK about text installer. but it is a clear step towards masses.
I am *not* in the developer team, but based on some clues here and there, personally I have a perception that we are very close to beta, maybe even 2-3 releases.
someone from the developer team could eventually correct.

If a few of the forks are done and back to main tree, likely yes. Until then... Nope

And some of them are mine, so can be postponed because... Well, HAL will be rewritten.
Julen
But that will be after 0.4.15 for sure.

Is HAL is written in C, C++ or Assembly?

Gooood question, not sure, but you can look the code.

Well, here’s something I never thought I’d see... Windows NT 4.0 PPC running natively on a PowerPC Mac! It’s in very early stages at this point, so hardware support is very limited and it is buggy, but it works! Be sure to check out this amazing project! https://github.com/Wack0/maciNTosh

not a dumb question, probably yes

I used my main account as a normal user, only used Run As Administrator when I needed to install or upgrade software.
I run it from 2007 until it reached end of support from Microsoft. And I didn't need an anti-virus, even when I decided to try Bitdefender Free I had only false positives on software that I use for recovering passwords or license keys.
Of course running Mozilla Firefox instead of Internet Exploder Explorer helped keep threats away. That and not installing anything that was offered on any website.

Windows 2000, however, all that was needed was to login to the internet and automatically have your system invaded, until the system was patched manually using the Windows Update Website.

I wish ReactOS would offer custom base paths for installing it: C:\<my_chosen_base_path> would be like a parent folder for everything else (Program Files, ProgramData, User, ReactOS).
Julio
João Paulo
You can modify the boot.ini to achieve this
If I do that on Windows XP, it breaks everything, as the Program Files, the Users and Documents, the ProgramData and even a lot of files inside the C:\Windows folder have full paths on the Registry, instead of being referenced by an environment variable.

I never got why the banner is so inconsistent in Win2k editions though
Chungy
I was testing a update integrator so I installed three Win2000s at the same time...
Chungy
it's been a very long time since I saw a Win2k Server start menu, but when I did just now, I remember a thing that had bothered me before...
only the Professional edition makes an effort to match the actual Windows 2000 logo style, with the proper boldness and kerning on "Windows", the 2000 being in small digits.... plain Server reverses the bold/regular relation between 2000 and the edition.
I wonder how any of that actually passed marketing QA. :D
Chungy
I can line up the windows :D
Chungy
Also I'm skeptical of Dave's claims about dynamic rendering when many pre-rendered banners exist in the binary.
João Paulo
Chungy
or maybe it was a thing on NT4? suppose I can look at the NT4 version.
Chungy
yeah, NT 4

he also ran a scam company somewhen around the mid 2000's

bet you if anything if he had anything to comment on about ReactOS he'd claim it'd make use of stolen NT code or w/e

Maybe... I would try to change the resource inside Explorer.exe and see what happens after that.

took some effort to get the older bmp format when I'm editing stuff on Linux :p
Chungy
but yeah, bitmap
Chungy
greatest benefit of the doubt: it might have started as a GDI thing in early development, and there's some logic behind it for localization support, but none of the released builds all the way through Vista do that. Bitmaps all the way.
Chungy
I'm not willing to say Dave is just lying, but GDI calls are expensive when NT4 was at least somewhat meant to run on low-end systems. Bitmaps are cheap.
Chungy
Dave does say a few things that don't line up with evidence, and I'm willing to forgive on his memory being possibly faulty, but I wish he'd refine the stories after feedback. He doesn't.
