- Both Noto and Noto Sans CJK JP are now used as font fallbacks,
allowing to cover a rather large range of characters. This also makes
it possible to mix the two fonts easily.
- Remove VL-Gothic from packages and from AboutSystem
- Add Noto fonts to the dependencies of the Haiku package.
This provides a similar look for all languages as discussed on the
mailing list.
* Added a "Free registration" text file. As the user has to
re-register from time to time for some reason, it may be
easier to find the info in a text file in the app's folder
than looking into the decription of SynC Modular in HaikuDepot.
* FuseSMB provides access to shared files and folders over SMB.
It features automatic discovery of servers and shares and
displays them as a folder hierarchy in a virtual volume on the
desktop
* Supports interactive authentication to access shares which require
login. Just open it, and a dialog pops up. Login data is stored in
BKeyStore.
* Comes with a network preferences add-on to easily enable and
configure it. No barbaric manual typing of mount commands required!
* Makes use of Haiku FUSE extensions to give custom MIME types with
icons for workgroup/share/server folders. Thanks again to humdinger
for designing the workgroup and share icons!
* Although the used libsmbclient only supports SMB protocol
version 1, performance is decent enough. Getting around ~75MiB/s

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.
* When --host-only is used, HAIKU_*ARCH is undefined.
* Various architecture variables are undefined resulting
in architecture dependant code paths getting called
recursively.
(blah/Jamfile loads blah//Jamfile vs blah/x86/Jamfile)
* Another option is setting HAIKU_*ARCH to the host arch
if undefined, but that might have unintended impacts.
