The current implementation of the keystore_server is not perfect. While the
source has many seeds for a future of having keyrings encrypted, and having
more fine grained permissions, it is far from complete.
The main arguments for adding documentation about this new but incomplete
functionality is that while it is incomplete, the API is part of the public
headers, and there are some legitimate use cases for developers.
The documentation aims to give the proper amount of caution to any developer
that is considering using this API.

This version generates some warnings and identified some problems in our
documentation. It is also a bit more vigilant about undocumented elements, so
these are now decorated with a brief description. In the BNotification docs I
used a stray \p to create some whitespace between code and an image. This is
now fixed in the CSS instead.
The implementation file contained some documentation. This has been moved
to the Haiku Book (and is rewritten in most cases). The documentation gives
some insight on how the notification_server works.

Get enough of the mmu working to be able to allocate memory.
Unlike on PowerPC, we get both address and size as 64bit values. So
adjust of_region to allow this.
Also unlike the PPC port, we do not drive the hardware directly, instead we
rely on the openboot primitives to manage the translation table. This
allows staying independant of the hardware, which is a good idea at
least for the bootloader (we can do actual hardware things in the
kernel)

Using the geonames.org API, so we will need an API key for it (similar
to the one used for MLS, deployed by the buildbot)
The unit tests uses the "demo" user, which is restricted to 20000 API
call credits and often expired. But we cannot use our secret key here as
it would need to be available to anyone running the test. If we ever get
to automate running the tests on a buildserver we could probably make it
use the secret username known by our buildbot instead.

can be used with aliases)
- Do not adjust powerpc jamfiles, because it uses yet another format and
we build it without long double support anyways.

Since we know what size the target view is / wants to be, we can automatically
set the range, steps, and proportion trivially. In non-layout mode, we retain
the old behavior. Applications or views that need custom scrolling behavior almost
certainly will be using BScrollBars directly and not this, so this should not be
"wasted computation" in pretty much any case.
Greatly improves the appearance and UX of the default case of a layouted
view inside a BScrollView.

This change is a reshuffle of the backend processing involved in the
aquisition of data from servers including the pull-down and load of
HPKR data as well as the pull-down and load of data from the
HaikuDepotServer (HDS) system. The driver for this change is to
implement an initial implementation of a progress bar for the
loading of data as the application starts.
The following are notable changes;
* Removed some previously attempted 'functional style' logic in the
model which didn't fit well with C++
* Use of the base-url in the logical mapping from HDS and HD data is no
longer required and has been removed
* Some logging has been improved making it clearer which part of HD
is producing the logging which in turn helps with debugging issues
* List class has been modified to more cleanly support sorted lists
and binary searches; tests have also be updated accordingly
* Reorganise and tidy-up of the data-loading processes' structures
* The local repository update (HPKR) and data-load occur in background
processes now in the same system as the HDS data-load - this has been
crudely shifted from the MainWindow to new Processes and incorporated
into the background processing system
* The 'state-machine' background process runner is now replaced with a
'coordinator' style approach that can more easily handle the new
processes related to HPKR loading.
* Progress for loading processes is shown in the main window in the
WorkStatusView - this is flickering a bit, but basically works
* Added some documentation regarding how Processes work in the system
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item now also updates data from HDS
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item is disabled when the background
processes are running that update the repository data
Some further refinement would be good, but this change is large enough
for one round of improvements. There is an issue that the status bar
is used for screenshot display as well as this data-loading, but that
was the case before so it is something that can be dealt with later if
it is a problem.

John's revert of my removal commit dragged back a bunch of cygwin/sunos
cruft, as well as re-adding RegExp.cpp to the host libshared, that we don't
need.
Instead, remove this and add libgnuregex_build to just the tools/keymap
link alongside the FreeBSD gnuregex case.
The cached top coordinate of each BListItem isn't updated when you
change the height of the item, leading to confusing highlighting and
incorrect mouse clicks. Rather than fixing it, this just documents a
workaround or two to force an update of the cached coordinates.
Now vaguely follows the tree structure of "src", with the exception of
directories that described subsystems spanning more than one "kit" or
"server" (e.g. "media", "midi", "bluetooth") -- these have been left as their
own top-level directory within docs/develop.
This is the beginning of a large "move developer docs from the wiki
to the tree" operation, which will probably take some time to complete.
The general goal is to consolidate all docs that would be used by developers
(i.e., anyone working on the Haiku tree) into the tree itself. Docs on
getting started contributing, or for translators, designers, etc. will remain
on Trac and on the website.
I've updated the docs to match the current BMailComponent, documented
new functions, and cleaned up the MailComponent.h file to at least
somewhat match our coding style.
First in a series (there are 3 more old API docs on the Mail Kit in that
"Public API" folder.)
It was needed on macOS for a time when BUrl used regexes for parsing.
Now it does not, and so we can remove libshared's RegExp from build
libshared, and thus also libgnuregex.
The Interface Kit is long since "99% functional", so lists of modules
with what's-implemented-what's-not are not really helpful anymore.
The one (rather lengthy) file describing the unit testing system
set up by the IKTeam is indeed useful, so keep that.
Previously when we used Drupal, the icon guidelines there "shadowed"
the ones in this tree. Now that the git-based website reigns supreme,
we should not keep two copies around. I've chosen to preserve
the one in the website repository and trash this one because the icon
guidelines primarily target artists, not programmers (as just about
all other docs in this directory do.)
The only thing of any real use in this directory was the Be Newsletter
article, and the objdump from BeOS R5 (at least I guess that's what it is...)
so I kept those.

The removed enum label doesn't change the directory_which enum order
or count, as it was aliasing the value of another existing enum label
(B_SYSTEM_DATA_DIRECTORY).

This reverts commit 945566ff43.
As discussed on the mailing lists and with Humdinger off-list:
* The general design concensus tends slightly towards DejaVu, as metrics
of DejaVu look much better (DejaVu 12 and Noto 13 are roughly the same size,
but Noto has much wider margins with that)
* While Noto does have a wider set of fonts with support for lots of
different languages, DejaVu actually has built-in support for more
Unicode languages (the default Noto has, as far as I can tell, only
Latin/Greek/Cyrillic [2416 glyphs], while DejaVu also has Armenian, Georgian,
and a few other scripts too [5119 glyphs].)
* The worse rendering of DejaVu appears to have been somewhat rectified by
disabling the average-based subpixel filter in app_server.
This mostly reverts commit 75b219d35a.
The changes to the image URLs in Alert.dox are still needed, so I
didn't revert those.
As per discussion on the mailing list and IRC.
Since the "Layout" group is a member of the "Interface" group,
Doxygen automatically adds the "Interface" group to all pages
in the "Layout" group, meaning that having an explicit "ingroup Interface"
created duplicate group tags.
Surprisingly, after disabling the new Markdown support in the Doxyfile,
everything else pretty much worked out of the box. Only a number of CSS
changes were needed to adapt.
I wonder why nobody ever did this back in 2012 when 1.8 first came out...
