Hmm, strange title isn’t it ;-)
Karl vom Dorff sent a mail to the Haiku mailing list to tell us he successfully ran Haiku rev 26666 on is Asus EeePC 701:  Lan and Wireless are not working neither do the sound recording. But Sound playing is fine using OSS for Haiku tough. More details on Haikuware.com (with a nice little video to prove the fact :-). Nice news ! Nice progress for the Haiku developpers also !
I just received a mail from Tako “0033” Lansbergen about the release of Niue brand new 4th version: Hi all, I’ve just uploaded version 4 of Niue! After some weeks of hardly any progress I restarted work on this version two weeks ago and just finished most of the release goals today. There are still a couple new things left out, which are now planned for the next version, to be expected somewhere in October. Niue *should work on both R5, zeta and Haiku, development is done on zeta for the time being so there are some known problems with Haiku, like no mouse-wheel scrolling. When Haiku R1 alpha goes live I will switch to Haiku for development and focus will be fully on Haiku. Along with many small improvements the biggest change is the code-completion module, which I’m pretty confided with. I’d like to hear your opinions, as always! Greets, Tako Lansbergen (0033) For those who don’t remember anymore, Niue is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and version four look like this:
BeBits page is here, information page is here. Want some screenshots ? (I do like screenshots :-) Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5
How easy it looks to be ? The author tells us that if you need for example subversion you just have to run: box -i subversion and voilà . Nice tool, nice web site, nice initiative ! Kudos ! Also, visiting http://tiltos.com/ you can read in the about page that: TiltOS is an operating system based on the Haiku OS. It has not been released yet! TiltOS provides a packages repository which is also available for HaikuOS. It is called “TiltOS for Haiku” So maybe we will soon welcome a new Haiku distribution ! In the mean time the repository already contains all the 100 tools listed in this post. Wanna try the beast ? Follow the instructions provided here.
Oliver made a post on his blog to tell us the bluetooth stack is now able to pair with devices authenticating with PIN code as needed.
Very nice achievement, keep up the good work !
Remember, in the beginning of the month of July DarkWyrm stated he was having thoughts about how Deskbar and Tracker could be enhanced for R2. While this is no official (read Haiku Inc. endorsed) work, it is certainly valuable to the community as a proof of concept and as an future looking attitude which seems to be part of the Haiku spirit. A first screenshot (sort of app. launcher) appeared next in this post showing a working R2-related mini code projects (Proof Of Concepts snippets if you want). Another teasing shot was inserted in his “Ouch” post: the MakeBundle app.
Then DarkWyrm posted a clarification about the goal and the “officialness” of his brainstorm work. You can read the whole post here but the essence can be summarized by: “Too many people have suggested bizarre, impractical, and/or undesirable ideas on the Glass Elevator list” …” These screenshots (and the to-be-released-later programs) are an attempt to show that my vision for R2 is good, sensible, practical, and worth putting into place” Saturday he posted some more “More Juicy Tidbits” to give more detailed explanations and to tease us (again…) about a new-to-come mini project.
