From 0def70803eaaf85004236b63555174c51914bb59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Rechitskiy Date: Sun, 2 Aug 2026 13:24:01 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] Update reactos-0415-released.md - Networking I would like to add a short note about PR #5614 to the ReactOS 0.4.15 release notes. This driver was introduced during the 0.4.15 development cycle and adds support for DC21X4 network adapters, including DEC 21140 emulation used by Microsoft Virtual PC 2007 and Hyper-V Generation 1. Although this is legacy hardware, it is an important historical and technical improvement because it expands ReactOS networking compatibility and demonstrates progress in supporting older hardware and virtualization platforms. I apologize for bringing this up after the release. I wanted to include this information earlier, but I was not familiar with the process of updating the release notes. --- content/project-news/reactos-0415-released.md | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/content/project-news/reactos-0415-released.md b/content/project-news/reactos-0415-released.md index ba61de65..e4369f23 100644 --- a/content/project-news/reactos-0415-released.md +++ b/content/project-news/reactos-0415-released.md @@ -36,6 +36,9 @@ Oleg added support for more audio formats, looped playback of wave files, higher In addition, Victor Perevertkin imported the open source AC'97 driver from the Windows Driver Kit (WDK).
