Velkommen til virkelighet
Velkommen til ReactOS ukentlig nyhetsbrev, utgivelse 8, hvor det er tre vennlige folk, ingen av de spesielt effektive skrivere på nyhetsbrev i dag.

Unfortunately, Issue 8 was delayed last week, because Mrs. Flu decided to bed me over, and screw me crosseyed, leaving me very ill, and making my body wish it had a built-in thermostat. Anyway, it's better to have a newsletter late, than not at all, so let's just jump straight to it.
topNy versjon: 0.2.9
Yup, we have another release planned for you all. 0.2.9 is our lastest release thus far, to assist our preperations for 0.3.0, and to give you an insight into what's changed since 0.2.8.
Release Candidate 1 is up on Sourceforge
topNy nettverk kode?
Yes, and no. It's in a branch all its own, under the care of Alex Ionescu, submitted for archival purposes, and so he could claim the must-coveted 20000 Commit Number. Must of it doesn't link or compile properly, so hopefully it'll be worked on in time for 0.3.0.
topØyne på SVN
Two weeks, and a bumper log to peruse over. As always, minor bugs are skipped, and from next week, I'll squeeze in app Translations under a new secions.

top20,000 Commits!

topHva skjer neste uke?
Next week, I'll be seeing if I can come up with a better tagline for the newsletter. Oh, and I'll also be delving into the Wiki, and pulling up just how far along to ReactOS 1.0 we are. I was hoping to do it this week, but everyone has their own opinion on what goes in what version, and what version constitutes "Alpha" and "Beta" Status. I need clarification, folks.
Until Next Week.. Happy Compiling!
