<p>Thanks for checking out Haiku! This is our fifth public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give users a chance to check out Haiku. While this first <i>beta release</i> includes all major features planned for the final Haiku release, it still has many bugs and a few rough edges that need further polishing. However, we think that this release is quite usable and hope it lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.</p>
<p>Visite o site de nosso projeto <ahrf="http://www.haiku-os.org">Haiku-os.org</a> para saber das últimas notícias e comunicados.</p>
<p>We have been working hard to fix potentially critical bugs, however, being a beta release, there are bound to be some left undiscovered.</p>
<divclass="box-warning">We discourage using beta versions as a production system. Your data could be altered, mangled or downright destroyed. Keep up-to-date backups!</div>
<p>One of the main reasons for releasing a beta version is to attract more people to test the system and discover bugs or provide suggestions for future enhancements. Please file bugs and enhancements in our bug tracker after using its search function to avoid duplicates.</p>
<p>While the first release(s) of Haiku will be very much like the BeOS R5, the operating system it is reimplementing, there are many additions and improvements that were developed by the Haiku team over the years. So, if you're a returning BeOS user or are new user, have a look at these links:</p>
<p>Most of the available software can be downloaded and installed with the application <ahref="../userguide/pt_BR/applications/haikudepot.html">HaikuDepot</a> 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/pt_BR/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>Updating Haiku as well as third party packages is done with the application <ahref="../userguide/pt_BR/applications/softwareupdater.html">SoftwareUpdater</a>. When it's finished, reboot.<br/>
For more details, see the guide <ahref="https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/daily-tasks/updating-system">Updating and downgrading your system</a> on our website.</p>
<p>Haiku suporta redes sem fio encriptados por WPA/WPA2 ou WEP e, naturalmente, abertas ou não encriptadas. Devido a várias políticas de licenciamento dos diferentes fabricantes de hardware, um processo de instalação manual de firmware pode ser necessário. Maiores informações sobre hardware suportado, instalação de firmware e como acessar uma rede sem fio no Guia do Usuário Haiku <ahref="../userguide/{pt_BR}/workshop-wlan.html">Oficina: Redes sem fio</a>.</p>
<p>Uma vez que o Haiku é uma reimplementação, a API é ainda a mesma do BeOS R5 (com alguns adicionais). Portanto, a documentação contida no Be Book é ainda um recurso válido. Agradecemos à ACCESS, que detém os direitos de propriedade da Be Inc., por nos permitir disponibilizar uma cópia do Be Book.<br/>
Diferenças da API do BeOS e adicionais específicos do Haiku são coletados no Haiku Book.</p>
