* This is a very useful control, and 3rd-party apps should be able to
use it.
* But, there are planned improvements (making a better model/view
interface) which prevents making it part of the stable API yet.
* We install the headers for many things that are currently in libshared
(BColumnListView, BCalendarView, etc). So it makes sense to also provide
the lib in an "use at your own risk" way. Only the static library is
included, so apps linking against it should continue running on newer
Haiku versions even if the content of the lib changes.
* 3rd party application developers can now make use of those
experimental features without having to copypaste and fork the sources.
* Instead of separate variables, HAIKU_BUILD_TYPE is set to one of
'bootstrap', 'minimum' or 'regular'.
* Adjust uses of HAIKU_BOOTSTRAP_BUILD accordingly.
* All packaging architecture dependent variables do now have a
respective suffix and are set up for each configured packaging
architecture, save for the kernel and boot loader variables, which
are still only set up for the primary architecture.
For convenience TARGET_PACKAGING_ARCH, TARGET_ARCH, TARGET_LIBSUPC++,
and TARGET_LIBSTDC++ are set to the respective values for the primary
packaging architecture by default.
* Introduce a set of MultiArch* rules to help with building targets for
multiple packaging architectures. Generally the respective targets are
(additionally) gristed with the packaging architecture. For libraries
the additional grist is usually omitted for the primary architecture
(e.g. libroot.so and <x86>libroot.so for x86_gcc2/x86 hybrid), so that
Jamfiles for targets built only for the primary architecture don't
need to be changed.
* Add multi-arch build support for all targets needed for the stage 1
cross devel package as well as for libbe (untested).
* Deskbar now uses ~/config/settings/deskbar/menu_entries for its menu,
falling back to /system/data/deskbar/menu_entries, when the former
doesn't exist. The latter always exists and is a virtual directory
merging the deskbar/menu subdirectories of ~/config/settings/ and
<any installation location>/data/. So, if a package provides a
deskbar menu symlink, it is added automatically when the package is
activated. The user can add own menu items by putting stuff into
~/config/settings/deskbar/menu/, only use their own organization by
symlinking it to menu_entries, or do fun stuff by making menu_entries
a customized virtual directory.
* HaikuImage: No longer create any deskbar menu symlinks in the user's
settings directory. Instead add them to the Haiku package.
* OptionalPackages: At least for the optional packages that do have
hpkgs, no longer create deskbar menu symlinks in the user's settings
directory.
* Move all Deskbar settings files to ~/config/settings/deskbar/ and
drop the "Deskbar_" prefix.
* Also make use of new build feature rules.
* Since the hacky long_jump_buffer field has been removed from the
jpeg_error_mgr struct in the new package, the structure is now
wrapped in the JPEGTranslator code to achieve the same behavior.
We have to use actual targets that cause the respective download and
extract the packages. Otherwise the build fails when the packages
haven't been extracted yet.
* Add optional packages Zlib and Zlib-devel.
* Simplify the build feature section for zlib and also extract the
source package.
* Replace all remaining references to the zlib instance in the tree and
remove it.
