### AI overview

The netlab project is sunsetting its Vagrant/libvirt provider after the vagrant-libvirt plugin became effectively unmaintained and HashiCorp announced the closure of Vagrant Cloud by the end of 2026. Existing support and tests will remain for now, but no new libvirt features or device integration tests are planned; containerlab will become the primary orchestration path.

### Source excerpt

When I started the netlab project, Vagrant was the go-to tool if you wanted to build a virtual environment described in a text configuration file (an idea popularized as infrastructure-as-code). It wasn't ideal for what we were doing, but a tool rarely does a great job when used far away from its intended use case. netlab initially supported Vagrant with VirtualBox, quickly adding support for KVM/libvirt through the vagrant-libvirt plugin. Life was good... until it wasn't. Read more ...

### AI overview

This progress report describes ReactOS booting from a BTRFS partition. Freeloader can read files and follow symlinks, and fixes were made for a VirtualBox BIOS limitation and a WinBtrfs driver bug. The system can boot to the desktop in a relatively stable state, but pagefile creation, some write operations, and shutdown stability remain unresolved.

### Source excerpt

Hi, all! Here is what happened since last post: Freeloader is now able to read files and follow symlinks from btrfs partition. One major issue is left here - case sensitivity. BTRFS is case-sensitive file system, so paths like /ReactOS/System32, /reactos/system32, /ReactOS/system32 are different here. But in Windows world most software is written assuming that case does not matter during path lookup. This thing is solved in WinBtrfs driver, but for Freeloader it can be a bit tricky.

### AI overview

A tutorial explains how to run Minikube on macOS with the HyperKit driver instead of VirtualBox, inspect the setup logs, interact with the resulting Kubernetes cluster, use its dashboard, and stop or restart the cluster.

### Source excerpt

While Docker for mac in the edge channel offers a Kubernetes integration, I wanted to have the same tool as my pals on linux, who're most likely using minikube. Minikube on OSX requires a virtual machine which is by default VirtualBox, since minikube is using the docker a the container runtime it bootstrap the VM environment with boot2docker.

### Source excerpt

Hello everyone, I am Hermès Bélusca-Maïto. This is my first week report, as part of the part-time scholarship that I started two weeks ago, that consists in making ReactOS being able to support Word 2010. Preliminaries Before starting anything with Word 2010 I needed to prepare a testing environment. Because I am a native Windows user, I use a ReactOS trunk build made with the MSVC compiler. This ReactOS build was then properly installed and adequately configured on a VirtualBox (VBox) virtual machine (VM).

### Source excerpt

The ReactOS team is proud to announce the release of version 0.4.1 a mere three months after the release of 0.4.0. The team has long desired an increased release tempo and the hope is that this will be the first of many of faster iterations. Due to the brief period of time between the two releases, 0.4.1 is ultimately a refinement of what was in 0.4.0. That is not to say that there are no new features of course, and a few highlights of both categories are listed below.

### AI overview

The article argues that Android developers should test across multiple device sizes and recommends Genymotion as a VirtualBox-based Android emulator for development. It highlights its speed, device isolation, and Google Play support.

### Source excerpt

For years iOS developers have touted the merits of the Simulator, saying that it makes their lives easier. As someone who's developer for both iOS and Android, and been primarily an Android developer for several years, I've never cared. When I develop, I use a device. I've often made arguments about how it better to develop on a device because that is what users will run your app on. The Android Emulator is good in the sense that it's not a Simulator, but actually emulates the Android hardware.

### AI overview

This ReactOS newsletter discusses support for building ReactOS's C++ components with Visual Studio, including an STLport-based solution, and describes USB fixes found through testing with VirtualBox USB passthrough.

### Source excerpt

C++ One of the last big missing pieces of building ReactOS using Visual Studio was support for C++. In ReactOS, the biggest piece of C++ code is explorer, without which users have no graphical shell when ReactOS boots up. Support for C++ requires not just a compiler capable of building C++ code, but also the presence of the standard template library. For developers where C++ was their first language, usage of the STL is fairly common and it is almost guaranteed to be linked in by default regardless of whether it is used or not.

### AI overview

The article compares the performance of the PHP opcode caching solutions eAccelerator, APC, and XCache using four VirtualBox virtual machines running Apache, PHP, and WordPress. Its test reports that all three caching solutions had similar performance and handled nearly four times more traffic than an uncached installation.

### Source excerpt

Przez pewien czas korzystałem z eAcceleratora do przyspieszenia działania stron pisanych w PHP'ie ale czasem bywał niestabilny. Aktualizacje pojawiały się rzadko a od czasu do czasu miewałem problemy ze stabilnością tej wtyczki na kilku bardziej skomplikowanych aplikacjach. Zdarzało się że pomimo zmiany kodu w skrypcie php, eAccelerator serwował wciąż stary plik - konieczny był restart Apache'go by wszystko działało jak trzeba. Zacząłem szukać alternatywy i trafiłem na dwa moduły: APC external link (czyli Alternative PHP Cache), który ma być nawet domyślnie wbudowany w PHP od wersji 5.4, XCache external link - projekt rozwijany przez jednego z programistów lighttpd. Byłem ciekaw wydajności poszczególnych rozwiązań względem siebie, więc przygotowałem małe środowisko testowe składające się z 4 maszyn wirtualnych (działających pod kontrolą VirtualBox'a):

### AI overview

ReactOS's UniATA driver is causing installation failures, hardware timeouts, and dropped boot drives. Developers are investigating timing and interrupt-handling issues, but the exact cause remains uncertain and further testing is needed.

### Source excerpt

UniATA Timing UniATA continues to be problematic, with testers often struggling to get past the first stage install much less actually put ReactOS through its paces. As mentioned before, the time UniATA waits for responses from hardware is considerably lower than that of the old ATA driver. On older hardware, sometimes various drives are not fast enough in responding so operations time out and UniATA reports an error even when there technically was nothing wrong.

### AI overview

ReactOS Newsletter 58 reports progress on the UniATA driver, including a timing fix that makes CD-ROM drives detect reliably on real hardware. It also discusses memory-pool debugging, a remaining VirtualBox failure, and a USB crash fix.

### Source excerpt

UniATA The Universal ATA driver has often been pointed out as a way to solve some rather annoying issues in ReactOS, such as the lack of support for SATA and limiting the amount of space ROS sees to about 8GB. Since both issues border on the outright absurd in this day and age, fixing them was of very high priority. A few showstoppers stood in the way however of switching over permanently and Aleksey Bragin has managed to resolve some of them.

### AI overview

ReactOS Newsletter 57 reports fixes that made the VirtualBox video driver more usable, including corrected mouse-cursor movement and screen-resolution updates. It also discusses RosBE and RBuild changes and a Windows GCC build issue involving compiler variables.

### Source excerpt

VBox Video Driver A while back the VBox video driver started working in ReactOS, which meant people using VirtualBox could now get hardware acceleration for graphics. To make the driver usable, Timo Kreuzer fixed two things in the Win32 subsystem. While the driver ran before the fixes, its functionality was somewhat crippled and drawing often resulted in problems. The first fix was for the mouse pointer, or more specifically drawing the mouse pointer moving across the screen.
