We’re now back to development “as usual” after the release of R1/beta5 (though some of the changes in this report did make it in to the release itself.)
The goal of this post is to document the changes I’ve successfully made during the GSoC period, the current state of the project, future enhancement goals, and a few other topics. I also want to extend my thanks to the Haiku developers and community for the opportunity to work on this fantastic operating system.
Background
Haiku is a truly innovative operating system. One of its most interesting approaches to a filesystem lies in the fact that it makes metadata a primary characteristic of the filesystem. In fact, this was one of the core features that it carried over from its predecessor BeOS.
