Happy new year everyone!
Here is the last report for commits in the year 2016. It covers hrev50718-hrev50829.
As some may have noticed, my UEFI branch got merged in November, purely by accident too! However, until now, we still haven't been able to boot to the desktop. Whilst still in development, the addition of a simple framebuffer driver and a crucial fix by Henry (https://github.com/froggey/) has enabled Haiku to now boot all the way to the desktop using QEMU.
Hi there!
The autumn season is here, and the winter is coming soon. For Haiku this means
several things. In particular, this month there was the Capitole du Libre with
two talks about Haiku (you can read more about that in mmu_man’s short report),
and also the start of the Google Code-In, with the first students claiming their
tasks yesterday.
Anyway, let’s have a look at what’s cooking in the source tree. This report covers
hrev50665-50717.
Before I forget due to the GCI frenzy, let’s take some time to write down about Capitole du Libre, which was held in Toulouse on the 19th and 20th November.
Hey there!
Life continues in Haiku, with bugfixes and slowly getting prepared for the beta release. Not much in terms of new and exciting features, but Haiku is getting more stable and the bugs slowly fade away.
In terms of Haiku commits, this report covers hrevs 50577 to 50664.
Hey there, time for a report! (I’m really out of ideas for taglines. Any suggestions?)
This report covers hrev50529-hrev50576
Hello there, it’s time for the monthly activity report again!
This report covers hrev50456-hrev50528
Video drivers
The work on the intel_extreme driver continues. In the previous month there was a large refactor, merging an old branch originally started by mmlr. kallisti5 updated it and tested it on the early intel models (everything up to SandyBridge).
Hi there, we’re now in the last part of the summer.
A lot happened in the UltraDV source. The code is gradually maturing and a lot of components have been replaced and implemented among more than 30 commits.
The Haiku site has run into some difficulties as of late. Drupal 6.x is now end of life which means modules are no longer being maintained. This has greatly impacted the stability of the site as the final urgent Drupal 6.x security updates have been applied.
The web team is working through plans to improve the Haiku website and community. Please be patient while we transition to a better long-term solution.
