Service Manager

  • rewrote most of the service manager code (Ged Murphy)

Userinit

WineMine

Win32™ Libraries

ADVAPI32

COMCTL32

  • Implemented TOOLTIPS_NotifyFormat, now returns the type of the string (Timo Kreuzer)
  • Fix LISTVIEW_Callback() crash problem, which was caused by a bug in GCC. Now avoided in all modules by using -fno-sibling-call-optimisation (Aleksey Bragin)

CRT

  • Fix the calc bug, modf is compelete wrong, replace it with DJGPP C version of modf with small changes from me so it compile in ReactOS. Old modf did not clear the st reg before it was used, did not load the reg right, did not handler all cases (Magnus Olsen)
  • Reporting djgpp fgets to fgetws, with wine test the old version failed on reading the string. Now we do not have a any bug in fgetws, according wine test. Test run in win2k and Reactos to be 100% sure it was not a Wine test problem. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fixing a ultoa bug, replacing both version with wine, copy the code from wine 0.9.0; I did add a NULL check for the string so it can not bsod. wine ntdll string only report one error, left to fix, I run wine test on windows 2000 and reactos to compare the result. Fireball report wine_ntdll_test string crach on windows xp, but it does not crash in windows 2000. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fixing a i64ltoa bug, replacing both version with wine, copy the code from wine cvs 2005-05-21, bug report by wine test (Magnus Olsen)
  • Replace the following _wtol, _wtoi, _i64tow, _ui64tow, _ltow, _ultow, _ui64toa, _itow, _ltow, ultow with Wine from Wine CVS 2006-05-21 because we failed on Wine test on all of these. In Windows 2000 wine test ntdll string did not fail. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Import cprintf from Wine CVS 2006-05-23 as Bug #1529 suggested. It makes most of msvcrt string test work, only one failure left to fix. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Replace djgpp hell bugs fcvtbuf with project http://www.jbox.dk/sanos/source/lib/fcvt.c.html with small modifications to match ReactOS arch. Floating point to string conversion routines Copyright (C) 2002 Michael Ringgaard. All rights reserved.
  • Replace _swab with Wine CVS 2006-05-11 version, this will take care of our problem with overlapped memory with swab, and this also provides two more Wine msvcrt tests. 100% pass with Wine msvcrt string test. (Magnus Olsen)
  • One more Wine msvcrt printf test pass, now it is 62 fails instead of 63 fails (Magnus Olsen)
  • Start implementing float into sprintf, snprintf and other printf APIs. These commits are markers for further implementation, such as for *printf api (the main api functions). Changes made to sprintf.c must be mirrored into swprintf.c or changes into swprintf.c must be mirrored into swprintf.c, other wise the effect of the bugfix or change will not be executed in Reactos, as whether ANSII or unicode versions are being used. (Magnus Olsen)
  • swprintf/sprintf commits for full support of %e %E %f %g %G, numberf function remains to be done (Magnus Olsen)
  • Small rewrite to pass wine test, no bugs in ungetc according to Wine test of msvcrt. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix so fread return right value of bytes/chars it reads, passing one more wine test in msvcrt file(Magnus Olsen)
  • Remove stub for _wenviron, already implemented in crt.a (Magnus Olsen)
  • Redirect __p__mbctype to _mbctype, idea copied from Wine (Magnus Olsen)
  • Redirect __p__tzname to _tzname, idea copied from Wine (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix 24 bugs in *printf string version. Now failing 34 test in wine_test msvcrt printf (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix one more Wine msvcrt printf test (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix 2 more errors in msvcrt *printf API (Magnus Olsen)
  • Implement datatype I32 for *printf string version. We have a *printf for files as well. Now failing 29 Wine tests in msvcrt printf (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix two more bugs in *printf strings version. One more Wine test passed (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix some bugs for %c in the string version of printf (Magnus Olsen)
  • Use uppercaps for %p instead of lowercaps when it formats the string. Now failing 27 Wine tests (Magnus Olsen)
  • Implement %Fp. Now failing 25 Wine test for string version of *printf API (Magnus Olsen)

FMIFS

GDI32

  • Implemented NtGdiPolyDraw, based on Wine's Implementation (Saveliy Tretiakov)
  • Fix a bug in DdDeleteDirectDrawObject, zero the DirectDraw handler. If it is successful memory is freed (Magnus Olsen)
  • Start implementation of gdientry2, for the moment it returns incorrect info and does not fill some stuff right (Magnus Olsen)

KERNEL32

NEWDEV

SETUPAPI

USER32

  • Fix some window focus issues (Timo Kreuzer)
  • Patch from Thomas Weidenmueller for Bug #1486: Convert WM_MDICREATE messages from/to unicode
  • Fix two user mode crash for menu. Do not try reading from NULL pointer and compare the value. This increases success in user32_winetest.exe, but other user mode crashes with menu remain. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Fix the radio buttons to use the new Marlett font. (Ged Murphy)
  • Added support for selection of 32bpp icons and cursors (Ged Murphy)
  • Implement GetTabbedTextExtentA() based on Wine (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Update TEXT_TabbedTextOut from Wine (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Update other text outputting routines (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Update buttons code and more work towards easier code sharing with Wine (Aleksey Bragin)
  • Improve debugging abilities by making user32.dll using a generic way of displaying debug messages (TRACE/WARN/ERR) and adding a messages spy (Aleksey Bragin)

3rd Party Software

  • Update Zlib from 1.1.4 to 1.2.3 to fix some memory leaks (Magnus Olsen)
  • Updated DejaVu Font to Version 2.13 (Magnus Olsen)
  • Updated Buslogic Driver to Version 1.2.0.4 (see Bug #1891) (Christoph von Wittich)
  • Freetype, small speed increase, remove Freetype ROS glue C version of memcpy, memcmp, isalnum, labs and replace it from reactos string.a. We got asm version of most of them, so that is the reason to the speed increase of Freetype (Magnus Olsen)

FreeLdr

  • Improved Compatibility with Intel Macs (Michael Steil)
  • Patch from Colin Finck for Bug #1856: Adds the "ProcessorNameString" value to the "CentralProcessor" registry key
  • Patch from Dmitry G. Gorbachev and Magnus Olsen for Bug #1874: Patch does not use the RDMSR and WRMSR measure method, which we need for dual core and the CPU supports it. See Intel documentations AP-485. The patch is from Dmitry G. Gorbachev, detections of RTSC support for single and dual core by me, adding check if the CPU support RDMSR and WRMSR and send a true or false value to GetCpuSpeed, so we know which method we should use. Dmitry's patch should be used when it is false, otherwise we should use the RDMSR and WRMSR measure method. See Bug #1874 for more details. (Magnus Olsen)
  • Partly rewritten debug print implementation (Aleksey Bragin)
