ReactOS 0.4.7: Pavel Durov is no longer Pyuschn
Greetings to you, Habrazhiteli!
On December 7, 2017, the next release of the ReactOS operating system was numbered 0.4.7, the first after the project was moved to GitHub . During the preparation of the release, more than 450 error reports were closed, including about 15 regressions fixed. Today I will talk about the most interesting changes included in this issue!
Of course, one of the main news is that now Pavel Durov leads a healthy lifestyle in ReactOS. So this screenshot from the Lurkomorye memes encyclopedia will become part of the story:

Problems with the Cyrillic characters for a long time prevented you from enjoying Internet surfing. So far, Japanese developer Katayama Hirofumi, along with Mark Jensen, heroically did not correct the display of Cyrillic fonts.
Another bug related to memory initialization on systems with a physical ability to install 4+ GB RAM was finally defeated before the release of version 0.4.7 by the developers Serge Gautherie and Timo Kreuzer. Therefore, you will not see this picture again either:
And in the installer added a new dialogue, which allows you to activate support for themes at the installation stage:
And if you install a third-party theme of the design, then, thanks to the work of Janis Adamopulus, you can get quite a good result:
The application manager, upgraded by Alexander Shaposhnikov , is able to install several applications in one fell swoop:
In general, in a new release, all Internet browsers began to work much better:
Mark Jensen did not begin to work with fonts, but also introduced compatibility mode for applications:
The same developer added support for creating interactive services under the LocalSystem account, in consequence of which the VMWare Horizon client earned, +1 opportunity for ReactOS as a thin client:
The number of supported file systems has been expanded; now ReactOS can use FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS (read only) Ext2, Ext3, Ext4, BtrFS, UDF, CDFS, ReiserFS, UFS / FFS and NFS. In addition, Piercer Schweizer developed an open version of the fsutil utility for ReactOS, which first appeared in Windows 2003, and can be used to debug and obtain additional information about the work of the file system:
I can not fail to mention that this time the problems with:
This was a hint of the need to review the complete list of changes. If you decide to try ReactOS for the first time, do not forget to read the short manual on installing the system. Waiting for your impressions in comments!

I can not fail to mention that this time the problems with:
- the HDAUDBUS driver, which prevented ReactOS from loading in a VMWare environment in the presence of an HD sound card;
- using the mbedtls library, manifested on older processors without the support of SSE2 instructions;
- and hundreds of other components ...
