Carl Bialorucki hired to improve ReactOS test suite

Hi, my name is Carl J. Bialorucki. I started making a name for myself in the ReactOS community by contributing several shell improvements. In May of 2024 I was added to the core development team and in March of 2025 I led the release of ReactOS 0.4.15 after the previous release manager was unable to continue working on the project.

I’m pleased to announce that I was hired for a full-time contract position with ReactOS Deutschland e.V. in May of 2025.

ReactOS 0.4.15 released

We are pleased to announce the release of ReactOS 0.4.15! This release offers Plug and Play fixes, audio fixes, memory management fixes, registry healing, improvements to accessories and system tools including Notepad, Paint, RAPPS, the Input Method Editor, and shell improvements. We chose to release this version of ReactOS in honor of Eric Kohl’s first commit to the ReactOS code base, which dates back to 1999. Eric Kohl is the oldest active contributor of the project, and this is his 26th ReactOS anniversary!
