* Remove the target-board system.
* From now on, we target generic non-x86 architectures
while leveraging fdt when needed.
* ARM mmc images will likely need some post-processing to make
them bootable on individual hardware. (This is actually how
distros like Fedora handle ARM now. The image 'writer' application
is told what hardware the image is for and adds a vendor bootloader
/ SPL / u-boot / etc)
* Eventually BoardSetups and target boards will go away.
* Include all known fdt's in the mmc image
* This gets us closer to target board-less arm
* Changing hardware is as simple as plugging a new fdt
into u-boot's startup script.
* Drop my original rpi1 work. We're targetting ARMv7
minimum.
- hub: had an annoying problem preventing to run the script directly.
Now uses a proper "shebang" so it finds ruby.
- mako, setuptools: needed to build Mesa.
- neonlights: my favorite screensaver.
- python 3.6.
- advancemame, for arcade gaming on Haiku.
- sox and gnuplot, for various experiments.
* Hasn't been used for quite some time
* Everything was ported over to a new ATA stack
some time ago.
* No huge regressions were seen from the new ATA
stack.
* built in non-strict mode: dovecot, qupzilla, r
* build failed: intltool (dep of gcab and transmission), python_html2text, vlc,
cython (dep of pyenet)

* The app_server isn't designed to support two fallback drivers, so
on systems using UEFI to boot, the framebuffer driver will often
win when other drivers would likely work on those systems.
* Enables us to add an optional EFI filesystem
to the anyboot image.
* All existing anyboot behaviour is preserved.
* We still need to figure out how to build bios
and EFI loaders at the same time on x86.
* The tiny "fake ISO" still needs el-torito
alt-boot for the EFI loader to work when burned
to a CD. This makes the EFI loader work when
written to a hard disk / flash drive.
* Favorites can now be drag & dropped on apps that accept a program,
like LaunchBox - or in fact the ignore list of the Setup window.
* Favorites cannot be moved any longer in a result list, only in the
favorites list.
* When opening an app's containing folder, scroll to and select the
app.
* Fix crash due to a race condition.
* Closes issues: #14, #13, #12
BFont::Blocks is now implemented in ServerFont, via a call through the
app_server. It uses fontconfig to iterate through a charset of a font
and stores the defined blocks in a bitmap.
A new API was added, BFont::IncludesBlock, that will allow for arbitrary
testing of a given Unicode block. Since nothing is cached, searching
through an entire charset for a series of Unicode blocks can be quite
slow. In a given block there may be only 1 or 2 characters actually
defined so every character within a block needs to be checked until one
is found, which in a degenerate case will mean the entire block is
checked.

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.
* podofo 0.9.5 isn't compatible with 0.9.4.
* grep compatible with version 2.
* mercurial requires python2 instead of python.
* scribus is rebuilt with newer podofo.
Needed a quick new release:
* Fix disappearing favorites.
* Add context menu with quick access to favorites and QuickLaunch's
"About" to Deskbar replicant.
* Updated localization and documentation.
* Tiny tweaks to the QuickLaunch icon.
- 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
reading over a GbE link here
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.
Release v1.0
Fewer bugs, full of drag&drop.
* Add clips to favorites and re-ordering favorites with drag & drop.
* Drag & drop clips and favorites into other apps.
* Power user feature: holding SHIFT while pasting to sprunge.us keeps window
open.
* Made history clips titles editable as well.
* Made the GUI unambiguous. There's only ever one clip shown as active.
* Added menu items that apply to clips/favorites, re-ordered context menus.
* Renamed menu to "Lists" and added item to "Clear favorites".
* Added Romanian translation. Thanks Emrys!
* Updated Russian translation. Thanks Diver!
* Bug fix: Fixed drawing errors of split view handle on resize.
* Bug fix: Fixed issues when starting without settings file.
* Bug fix: Fixed crash when trying to paste to sprunge.us with no selection.
* Bug fix: Put formerly 2nd clip into clipboard when 1st was removed.
* Bug fix: Correctly show GUI controls availablity (e.g. the move buttons).
- This is the latest from the 0.10 branch.
- It includes several improvements and update to codecs, while keeping
the old API.
- The patch to keep things working with gcc2 is getting quite huge.
Tested working with various files, no regressions spotted so far. Please
help complete the test set if you have files that stop working with this
version.
There are some delays in making the actual package repo generated by the
buildbot go live. Until then, I'm going to manually update the existing
repositories with the built packages, so people can start to experiment
with them and report any new issues.
There are more updates coming, but I'm doing them gradually so we can see
which set of packages triggers a regression, should one happen.
This is separate to the VESA driver, as the VESA driver requires
using the VBE BIOS. Under UEFI, we don't have the VBE BIOS, nor
are we able to switch modes after leaving UEFI Boot Services, so
a dumb framebuffer driver seemed like the easier way to approach
the problem.
The framebuffer & vesa drivers now test for the presence of the
VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO boot item to distinguish between which driver
to use. Also added check for the VESA mode count to determine
whether to add the VESA_MODES_BOOT_INFO item.
UEFI video updated to explicitly zero out the VESA and EDID
boot data.
Revert "repo rework: Remove stubs; Breaks repo compat."
Revert "repo rework: Remove need for repos to be self-aware"
This reverts commit a2b2f4d642.
This reverts commit 602076ef82.
This reverts commit 5ffaf72c8a.
These changes break the build on Haiku and the ability to create repo
mirrors, for the lack of a replacement for the URL (an UUID was evoked
on the mailing lists, but not implemented).
We are due for a release soon, please don't break the build.
* See #12917 for details.
* Squashed to one commit to make revert easy if we
run into any issues.
* pkgman is now pre-attached to the 'current' repo
version within nightly images so they can be updated
by default.
* This shouldn't impact us keeping older sets of package
versions by commit hash for building older hrevs.
* There are XXX stubs with "Kill me". These will need
to be dropped after users are given sufficent time to
upgrade. We're dropping a previously required field (url)
so making this a slowish roll out.
* Makes the repos a lot less restrictive which should
help PM package building automation be a bit easier.
* Once this stuff smooths out, we'll add UUID's to the
repo definitions for duplicate repo detection.
* Re ML discussions, this should make a lot more
sense to users as it is inline with what most
linux distros ship.
* This will require a tweak to the buildbot.
* First step to shipping anyboot instead of plain iso.
Added Haiku's new forums.
Added BeBytes.
Removed GuestOne repo (can be re-added if they return).
Added empty "Bookmarks bar" folder.
Added overlay icons for the folders in "Bookmarks".
- B_TRIM_DEVICE on a ram disk frees all requested pages. Reading from a
trimmed page returns all 0s. This can be used with fstrim to release
memory for the parts not used by the filesystem, without unregistering
then registering the device.
- Add icon and ioctl to get it.
- Add it to the image, because it works reasonably well and there is no
reason not to include it.
Thanks to Pete Goodeve for patiently providing help and feedback wrt
the package layout and esp. for his device definitions for the Roland GS
and Yamaha XG.
* beaglebone vs beagleboard
* While the boards are almost the same, they have
diff. FDT's now (more memory, different layout etc)
* Make u-boot script more rpi-like
(depend on u-boot for initial addresses)
* Wasn't working, still doesn't.
from a stock GDB source tree.
I was getting tired of doing it manually.
Note the prefix is not exactly the same as the buildtools since the
machine triplet is different, but it's not an issue.
Tested with arm and ppc with GDB 7.8. Might need patching gdbTarget for other archs,
as stock GDB doesn't know about Haiku.
Removed the unneeded UI versions of Noto. According to the FAQ [1], those
"have tighter vertical metrics, and some glyphs that would be clipped are
redrawn to fit within the constrained space", which doesn't seem necessary
for Haiku. Could be re-added, of course, if it turns out otherwise...
Added Noto CJK fonts. All of them contain the glyphs for jp, kr, sc, tc.
Only differ in their default language.
EFI boot needs -fpic but all boot code was built with -fno-pic.
This is now set accordingly in HAIKU_BOOT_CCFLAGS and
HAIKU_BOOT_C++FLAGS.
Also setup compile flags for EFI platform.
* Only set HAIKU_BOOT_PLATFORM to bios_ia32 if not defined
* Add gnuefi build feature
* Introduce BOOT_LDFLAGS, and move options for passing to linker
into ArchitectureSetup
* x86_64 compile fixes for warnings in boot loader
* loader/elf.cpp: don't include ELF32 support when targeting EFI
* relocation_func.cpp: copy of the relocation code from gnuefi
to make _relocate extern "C", and avoid including <efilib.h>
* boot_loader_efi.ld: copy of gnuefi's elf_x86_64_efi.lds,
modified to include support for C++ constructors, etc. Keep in
sync with the gnuefi package

A few weeks back, I spotted in the Musl FAQ that they apparently ship
empty libm.a and libpthread.a files (https://www.musl-libc.org/faq.html),
which they said was for POSIX compatibility. A bit of digging got me to
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/c99.html which
says:
> It is unspecified whether the libraries libc.a, libl.a, libm.a, libpthread.a,
> librt.a, [OB] [Option Start] libtrace.a, [Option End] libxnet.a, or liby.a
> exist as regular files. The implementation may accept as -l option-arguments
> names of objects that do not exist as regular files.
So to follow the letter of the law, we only need to have the "c99" command
accept these; however, it appears all Linux and BSD cstdlibs accept them
no matter what compliance mode is in effect.
Discussed with PulkoMandy. This will make HaikuPorts' job a lot easier...
The boot still crashes some time later, but at least it is easier to
test now.
- PackageFS included in the net boot archive
- Tell the system it is booted "from image" when netbooting
