The ReactOS Project is pleased to release version 0.3.17.
A major new feature for this release is the inclusion of NTVDM, which
provides support for a wide range of 16bit applications, a long
requested feature by the community. NTVDM is still undergoing work but
we felt that it was ready enough to provide a sneak peak to the wider
community.
In addition, the leadup to the 0.3.17 release saw a very impressive
round of testing by the community. Several regressions and bugs
discovered in the release candidates were promptly fixed and
incorporated into the final release.
ReactOS is quickly approaching a stage where what the releases will
offer is polish compared to previous releases. That will be an important
milestone, as it is then that we can begin recommending to people that
they try using ReactOS for day-to-day computing.
We hope you look forward to it as much as we do.
