Hello World.
This is my first blog post after the Coding Period officially began, I’ve started to write code for the application. During the Community Bonding period, I got the menu listing for SuperPrefs. My last exam got over on June 6. I worked on the basic application layout during the beginning of June. This was how the application looked initially:
The application hosts seperate sections for holding the Preferences based on their category.
Hello everyone! This is a rather short update on the Swift port and since the last blog post, I’ve worked around a small issue that prevented the compiler from importing libraries by specifying the -sdk parameter with a ‘/’ which passes the correct header search paths to swiftc. This issue also existed on other platforms such as FreeBSD according to this thread in the swift-dev mailing list [1]. Whilst researching around the frequent swift interpreter crashes when opening a swift source file, the fault lies in libswiftCore being unable to extract type metadata from swift-generated dynamic libraries when calling these functions specified in the ProtocolConformance and Metadata classes.
Hey there, it's time for the monthly report again!
This report covers hrev51139-hrev51195.
User interface Brian Hill fixed a glitch in the Screen preferences. The preference panel shows a preview o the screen, and as a nice finishing touch, it adopts the current background color. However, this did not anticipate that the color could change while the application is running. Now the screen preferences is notified when such a change happens, so it can update itself completely to the new color.
Hello again Here goes my second weekly report describing my efforts and endeavours in the last two weeks. I haven’t produced a lot of code, but I am not sitting idle.
Technical Report Firstly, as advised by Alex (kallisti5), I have a Technical Report[1] prepared - a rough outline of how and what all changes to the codebase are planned for this summer project. It is a very basic roadmap which I will try my best to stick to but cannot guarantee.
Hello Everyone!
In this post I would be focusing on my last two weeks of community bonding. The coding period has officially began on 30th, although I had already started it in my second week itself.
I had one or two different things in mind for this week as I mentioned in my previous post. But I ended up working on implementing a locale aware date header, and the calendar widget, which is more important initially as to implement the basic functionalities of the calendar app, and is also the first goal.
Hello Everyone,
This is my third blog post and the last post on my work during communty bond period. The coding period has officially started! Yay!
I have started working on a application that renders text using FreeType and Harfbuzz you can find it here. It has two branches one of them successfully compiles and renders some some text in English using already existing technology in Haiku. The other branch "
Hy there!
I am writing this blog as a combined report for the past 2 weeks. As I mentioned on the mailing this, I had college exams till 25th. Really hectic. But I have been able to get some work done from then.
Community bonding Didn't get a chance to know a lot of them but I did break some conversation with a few people. My short talk with axeld on the IRC got me into knowing the names responsible for the current implementation of TCP in Haiku.
Hi everyone,
It's me again, this is my third report of my project about what I have done in this week. There is no coding, just reading and reading a lot. Now, I am confident to say that I can fully understand all the things in Btrfs codebase. I lurked a little around Linux's source and mailing list for Btrfs, but it didn't help much since the source is large, complicated and I don't know where to start to read, so I decide to implement Btrfs in my own way and back to read if encounter problems.
Hello everyone!
Community Bonding period Last week I introduced myself and my GSoC project on porting Swift to Haiku, which can be found here in case if you missed it. The bonding period so far involved a mix of initial communication with my mentors **jua_** and **korli** (Thanks for merging my HaikuPorter recipes!) alongside receiving assistance from other haiku-devs, notably PulkoMandy and waddlesplash. In addition, I mostly spent the week researching the swift front-end driver internals [1] by reading its documentation, patching more script files used for building swift and meeting several other GSoC students on IRC/mailing lists; and I wish them good luck with their projects.
Hello World.
This is an update to my previous blog post which dealt with the introduction to the GSoC project which I’ll be working this summer - Preferences GUI Refactoring. It’s been two weeks since the first post went live, so here’s the report for the weeks after that. This being the Community Bonding period, I pretty much did what the title says. Got to know about fellow GSoCers, they really are friendly and helpful.
