ReactOS 0.4.2 is here three months after the release of the first maintenance version, ReactOS 0.4.1, and brings various updated components, among which we can mention Wine and UniATA, and tries to improve the overall user experience of the system by adding various enhancements to the file manager and graphical shell. However, the most interesting feature of the ReactOS 0.4.2 release is the ability for users to mount and read (write support is not available at this time) data from various Unix and Linux filesystems, including but not limited to EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, ReiserFS, and UFS. More such filesystems will be supported in the next updates.
