Dinsdag is versie 0.3.14 van ReactOS verschenen. Het React Operating System is een opensource besturingsysteem dat als doelstelling heeft om compatibel te zijn met Windows NT, 2000 en XP, zodat er Windows-applicaties en -drivers op gedraaid kunnen worden. Hoewel er al veel software probleemloos op draait, waaronder OpenOffice.org, Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird en diverse spellen, verkeert het hele project volgens de ontwikkelaars nog in het alfastadium en is het niet geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik. Op deze pagina kunnen enkele screenshots van ReactOS worden bewonderd. De belangrijkste verbeteringen in deze release zien er als volgt uit:
ACPI
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface support is now enabled automatically when the ACPI Hardware Abstraction Layer is used, providing support for power buttons and full system power off.
LwIP
A new TCP/IP driver using the LwIP driver has been integrated into ReactOS, significantly improving network performance and stability and also presenting an upgrade path to IPv6.
MSVC Compatibility
ReactOS can now be built using Microsoft's compiler to create a working boot or livecd.
Scatter/Gather Support
Scatter/Gather DMA operations are now supported, significantly improving compatibility with network drivers written for NT5.1 and later.
Shell Improvements
The shell32 library rewrite in C++ has been merged in and brings with it various architectural improvements that will help serve as a foundation for future work on the new explorer shell.
Special Pool
A special pool designed to guard against misuses of kernel pool memory has been implemented.
Theme Support
ReactOS now has the infrastructure needed to theme the user interface and shell, allowing users to install and use something besides the classic Windows theme.
WiFi Support
ReactOS now supports wireless network drivers and is able to join open and WEP encrypted wireless networks.
The detailed 0.3.14 changelog is also available.
