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.
Revert "docs: promote SoftwareUpdater as easy tool to update Haiku."
This reverts commit 6487273924.
This reverts commit 8aab3a0d5e.

The Userguide and Welcome Guide are written and managed in the Userguide
Translator, not in the tree.
The welcome page was still saying the only way to update Haiku
is per command line. Not as much welcoming as one could expect
since SoftwareUpdater is now available.
Add SoftwareUpdater to the list of Haiku's applications in User Guide.
- Delete the introduction from the kits list page, as it is already
under locale_intro.
- Update the description in locale_intro.
- Since the locale kit now lives in libbe, delete the paragraph about
libraries from the intro, and move the still relevant part about
liblocalestub to the catalog translation macros description in
Catalog.dox.
* Sentence casing for the examples of menus etc.
* Use elipses instead of "..."
* As originally proposed in ticket #5010 [1], we went with removing
dynamic menu item labels, e.g. "Show grid" <-> "Hide grid" from
our apps (ProcessController, Magnify, etc.)

- Strength is now set once, instead of at each comparison, to improve
performance and fix potential locking issues
- Add a way to enable "numeric" collation (aka "natural order")
There is no DATA directory in BeOS, and its FindDir() doesn't implement
it. No need for a confusing backwards compatibility to something that
doesn't exist (had my hopes up, was going to move some non-executable
files from AddOns to Data in a program that works in BeOS and Haiku).
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).

We bundle bitstream charter as a default font to use when nothing else
is available. We also used to bundle a Courier font, but it does not
work properly.
- Fix the license for Bitstream Charter, to include just the license and
no extra text.
- Add said license to AboutSystem
- Remove the Courier font from the package and from the source tree.
Fixes#11696.
