Of course, the main innovation was the support for Microsoft Office 2010. If you want to try it yourself, do not forget to install a special version of Samba from the application manager.



In the three months since the last release, 179 bugs have been fixed.

Much attention is paid this time to improving the system interface, the handling of Cyrillic and Asian fonts has been greatly improved, almost all previously present flaws in the theme engine have been removed. In addition, the function of choosing the OpenGL backend is activated, and the actual version of Mesa 3D is added to the download manager.

Known issues. For the most productive experiments in virtual environments, do not use more than 90 MB of video memory, but on real computers completely disable multi-channel sound cards. ReactOS also does not digest configurations with more than one sound card, try to avoid them if possible.

And the cherry on the cake (which is a lie). Our developer, Vadim Galyant, has prepared a special version of the distribution kit that supports downloading via USB.



Share your impressions in the comments and do not forget that we could only do all this thanks to your financial support of the project.

PS And here is a list of tested software that needs to be supplemented.
