Among other fixes and more translations, there's now an "Import"
feature to merge in another catkeys file.
Handy when the en.catkeys changed and you want to import the translated
catkeys file for the previous version, which already contains the
translations for the strings that haven't changed.
Hmm... hope what I wrote there is decipherable...
No longer used by anything (it appears some old kernel drivers that
are not included in the build might use it, but I don't know why
they need it -- we already ship GPL'd code [libntfs] for the kernel
in the default build unconditionally.)
Briefly discussed with js a few weeks back.
* 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)
* not built because of an unsafe source: qutim
* removed compatibility packages for giflib, icu, tiff, libpng, libwebp, libbluray,
libpcre, libvpx, ncurses, readline.

* 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.
