The well known Oliver and the soon-to-be known GSOC student Adrien “PulkoMandy” Destugues have posted interesting news recently on the evolution of the bluetooth stack. In the first post Adrien presents himself and explains his project proposal is writing a preference application for the bluetooth stack. Welcome aboard ! Second post, two days ago, tells us that the Haiku bluetooth stack is now able to discover not only one device but several devices at a time. The discovery process of multiple devices, which is more complicated than for a single device, was the goal of milestone 3.
Here above you can see a console output of the stack finely discovering three BT mobile phones. Interesting possibilities are to be envisaged reading the very last comment of Oliver in his post :-)
I just received an email from Tako Lansbergen, also known as 0033, to tell me that the 3rd version of Niue is out. But what is Niue you’ll ask ? It is an Interactive Development Environment (IDE) for BeOS and Haiku (have a look here). It makes easy to develop applications and manage development projects on your system. Niue comes with a syntax styled code editor, but also, and that is a new feature of this third version, a brand new visual interface designer !
The author ask for your help testing and enhancing the software:
So, please, take a moment, download the file from BeBits, try the beast and report experience back to Tako either in the comments of this post or, best, in BeBits talkbacks. There is a detailed presentation of the software at this page.
Hi all, Today Koki posted a report of the recent LugRadio Live USA 2008 Haiku attended to. The experience is been summarized by Jorge G. Mare as this:
Today on Haiku News you can find the interview of Alexandru Roman, who is a student from Kitchener, Ontario, currently living in San Diego and applying for the Google Summer of Code 2008 project. Nice work Chris, read more here. ‘Nice day to you all !
Good news, he did this because he would like to get back on the scene of Haiku related news sites. Welcome back Chris …and yes we missed you too! Read more at http://haikunews.org/.
As reported first on the mailing list, then almost on all Haiku-informant web sites, this important milestone towards the alpha release has been reached ! Greetings to all the hard workers behind this realization ! It means that as of today it is possible to compile Haiku inside itself without having to tweak/hack/modify anything. Bruno Albuquerque was able to compile our OS using a VMWare with 1 Gb of memory. After compilation he was able to run the generated image into VMware also. And all that began at commit rev 24720. At this time, 67% of the tickets today listed before getting to alpha 1 have been solved and closed. For more info, just have a look at the Milestone R1/alpha 1 status page.
People, As Koki stated on the mailing list, the the student application period for the Google Summer of Code 2008 has been extended. This will be of great use to us because it seems that, as of today, the number of applications for the Haiku program has not been that great (yet :-) this year. So, I ask again: if you think you can print the Haiku flyer for GSOC 2008 ant go stick it on a wall in computer schools or universities, this will be greatly appreciated ! Here are the updated flyers in PDF, PNG, ODT. This is an easy way to support Haiku so “Just do It(tm)” :-)

Chris ‘cshaiku’ Simmons removed the HTTP redirection he placed on HaikuNews.org to Haiku-OS.org.
And no, this one is no 1st April joke :-)
