Because we reverted [WINHTTP] in releases/0.4.9 and releases/0.4.10 and releases/0.4.11
to the state before 9048599788 (==SVN r75944) which was WineStaging-2.9
Ftr: Back then the winhttp_winetest was not reverted as well, which makes a few of the tests hang. (which is one but not the only reason)
Current state of those tests:
0.4.14-release-93-g10d0e9b RosBELin GCC8.4.0 does not hang 'most of the times' but sometimes it does, later during 0.4.15-dev even more tests were disabled here

We toggled some of the hanging tests in:
0.4.14-dev-787-g 0685e02d9e workaround more tests in winhttp:winhttp hang
0.4.14-dev-717-g 68490c1613 Restore winhttp:notification test_persistent_connection execution
0.4.8-dev-861-g 89670a48ab workaround winhttp:notification test_persistent_connection hang
0.4.8-dev-237-g a22031dba6 workaround winhttp:notification test_persistent_connection hang
Since the testbots do no longer run with the GCC4.7.2 builds, it does not really make a lot of sense to port any of those workarounds back atm.
I do consider none of the above states really desireable, therefore I don't touch the mess today, just document it.
I dislike: the kernel32_vista-dep.
I dislike: the behavior in the synthetic tests.
I appreciate: In practice all of the above do behave rather sane in most practical (non-synthetic) tests.
Remember: The Flash-ONLINE-setups are broken also on XPSP3. We should not accept that as a valid testcase. That does not work even in 0.4.9RosBEWin2.1.6 / 0.4.13RosBEWin2.1.6 / 0.4.14RosBEWin2.1.6! Despite what the ticket CORE-13952 says. It lies!
Flash OFFLINE setup from rapps works. The app is discontinued.
I could imagine in the future:
-downgrade releases/0.4.8 and 0.4.7 also back to Winestaging 2.9 to kill the kernel32_vista-import. (Could be done with or without suppressing the hangs in the [too new] synthetic tests)
-observe whether releases/0.4.13 has any other issues in winhhtp-context, and if so we might want to step back to Winestaging-3.9 (the natural fit).
But not today.
The reverts were questionable from the standpoint of the synthetic tests and also
from the standpoint of the broken "Adobe Flash Online Updater". They might work by chance on the linux builds, but that does not transfer to the Windows builds. And most likely points to some (memory) corruption.
Reverts could only be justified by the kernel_vista removal.
This ports back the following commits about lossless PNG-shrinking:
0.4.15-dev-6410-g cf4bb8fced [WALLPAPERS] Optimize PNG images (#5506)
0.4.15-dev-6398-g e5993f13f0 [REACTOS] Optimize PNG images (#5492)
0.4.15-dev-6376-g 8f3a09722e [MSPAINT] Optimize images for help docs (#5486)
Most of those PNGs have not been touched ever since we switched from SVN to git, so they can safely be ported back by copying over.
But did not port them back any further than where they existed already.
Tweak a few related txt/html files also with trivial stuff like EOL-whitespace-removal.
Switches from "FreeMono" and "Dejavu Sans Mono" to "Courier New" and "Lucida Console"
and therefore brings us closer to 2k3sp2 stock fonts. Saves some RAM also.
Deletes some "Ubuntu" font left-overs in some Themes.
CORE-18605 (and partially CORE-16264)
By porting back the following commits:

Fixes a bug in msmouse.inf missing " at begin of last string in section [Strings.0416].
partial pick of 0.4.15-dev-1105-g d50cbb6eed (only the changes in msmouse.inf were picked) (#3173)
------------
in releases/0.4.7 to releases/0.4.11 the whole section [Strings.0415] existed twice in NET_NIC.inf,
deleting one of them entirely is not an oopsie, and does just reflect the state of the newer branches!
------------
partial pick of 0.4.15-dev-4867-g bbccad0ed6 Deduplicate the "ReactOS =" strings,
they are non-localizable now CORE-18191. I intentionally left out the "ReactOS team"->"ReactOS project" part here.
------------
full pick of 0.4.15-dev-309-g 7c8d5635aa [PROCESSR][INF] Fix "Intel Intel" duplication typos
which was an addendum to 3509318521 == SVN r46465
------------
also ported back deduplication of some manufacturer strings.
------------
all changes to shortcuts.inf and syssetup.inf.tpl are exclusively stripping EOL-whitespace, no other changes in those files.
------------
the only part that was not picked from master is the stripped 's' in disk.inf, which is possible,
because the file has been replaced altogether in master by an MS file.
See https://reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Foundation for more information.
the first part of CORE-18191
picked from 0.4.15-dev-4866-g 6881d8c624
Respect:
-Colins wish to leave out for now all the matches in kbdtool for legal uncertainty
-boot_images.cmake on master vs. boot/CMakeLists.txt in older branches
-treating cpu.inf special in this first commit for the sake of keeping sync to all other infs
-unlike master I decided to groom also cdmake, because I don't see any reason yet to dump that
in the older branches
-all releases down to releases/0.4.7 were released for the first time after the "ReactOS foundation"
dissolved already in 2015. So all are definitely fine to receive this commit.
-port back some EOL whitespace fixes as well in common.ver to sync the file to 100% to master head
Because of FontForge's bug, the underline position value of Tahoma and Tahoma Bold was wrongly set (#789, #809). This commit fixes those values.
