<p>Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our fourth public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give future users a chance to check out Haiku. We realize that this <i>alpha release</i> does not yet fully live up to the goals that we have set for ourselves and doesn't offer all the features and well-rounded end-user experience planned for the final R1 version. However, we hope that this release lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.</p>
<divclass="box-warning">Vi rekommenderar inte att använda alfa versioner i ett produktionssystem. Din data kan mycket väl ändras, eller helt enkelt förstöras.</div>
<p>En av huvudanledningarna till varför vi ger ut en alfa-version är för att locka fler att testa systemet, upptäcka buggar eller förse oss med förslag för framtida förbättringar. Vänligen registrera buggar och förbättringar i vårt projekthanteringssystem efter att ha använt dess sökfunktion, för att på så sätt undvika att dubletter skapas.</p>
<p>Dom första utgåvorna av Haiku kommer att vara väldigt lik BeOS R5, operativsystemet som vi omimplementerar. Om du aldrig har upplevt det, ta då en titt på följande länkar:</p>
<p>Most of the available software can be downloaded and installed with the application HaikuDepot that comes with Haiku.<br/>
Because of our binary and source compatibility, most BeOS applications run on Haiku. Many of those have been re-packaged for Haiku or still run unmodified. You'll find more information on installing new programs in the user guide's chapter on <ahref="../userguide/sv_SE/applications.html">Applications</a>.</p>
<p>There are several community-based software collections. See the <ahref="https://www.haiku-os.org/community/software">Software Sites</a> page on our website.</p>
<p>Haiku supports wireless networks that are WPA/WPA2 or WEP encrypted and of course open, unencrypted connections. Due to several different licensing policies of different hardware vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. You'll find more information on supported hardware, firmware installation and how to join a wireless network in the Haiku User Guide's <ahref="../userguide/sv_SE/workshop-wlan.html">Workshop: Wireless networking</a>.</p>
<p>Since Haiku is a reimplementation, the API is still the same as for BeOS R5 (with some additions). Therefore the documentation in the Be Book is still a valid resource. Thanks to ACCESS, who owns the rights to former Be Inc. property, we are allowed to provide a copy of the Be Book.<br/>
Deviations from the BeOS API and Haiku specific additions are collected in the Haiku Book.</p>
<p>Get in contact with other developers and users and join the discussions on IRC (<ahref="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=haiku">#haiku</a> on webchat), in our forums or the mailing lists. When many different people come together, rules have to established to keep communication effective.
