I didn't do anything with sparc for a few weeks (you don't want this
machine running when temperatures already are over 30°...), and I wastd
some time finding back some of the useful information, such as commands
to boot and debug, load and execution address of the bootloader program,
etc. So let's keep these in the documentation directory.

* There is now a 'busses' folder, and the extant USB/SDHCI/Bluetooth/etc.

* kernel/ports is now kernel/arch, like it is in src/system.
SPARC documentation is now in there, too.
* VM files (these are rather outdated) are now in kernel/vm.
* SCSI ASC info removed, this is easily available online and
it doesn't seem to be very relevant.
- Add 128 bit long double support from current glibc and a few headers
they need
- Move the existing 80 bit float support in a sub directory of generic,
it is not universal to all archs (see file added in docs/develop/arch).
Also include some new .h files for x86 that are needed after these
changes (from newer versions of the glibc).
- Adjust Jamfiles for m68k, x86 and x86_64 to use the 80bit format
- Do not adjust arm jamfiles, it was wrongly using 80bit long double and
should be fixed to use 64bit instead (which means the double functions
can be used with aliases)
- Do not adjust powerpc jamfiles, because it uses yet another format and
we build it without long double support anyways.
Note that I moved only the files that were creating compile errors,
quite likely more of the s_* and e_* files need to be moved to the
specific directories, see glibc list here:

Since we know what size the target view is / wants to be, we can automatically
set the range, steps, and proportion trivially. In non-layout mode, we retain
the old behavior. Applications or views that need custom scrolling behavior almost
certainly will be using BScrollBars directly and not this, so this should not be
"wasted computation" in pretty much any case.
Greatly improves the appearance and UX of the default case of a layouted
view inside a BScrollView.

This change is a reshuffle of the backend processing involved in the
aquisition of data from servers including the pull-down and load of
HPKR data as well as the pull-down and load of data from the
HaikuDepotServer (HDS) system. The driver for this change is to
implement an initial implementation of a progress bar for the
loading of data as the application starts.
The following are notable changes;
* Removed some previously attempted 'functional style' logic in the
model which didn't fit well with C++
* Use of the base-url in the logical mapping from HDS and HD data is no
longer required and has been removed
* Some logging has been improved making it clearer which part of HD
is producing the logging which in turn helps with debugging issues
* List class has been modified to more cleanly support sorted lists
and binary searches; tests have also be updated accordingly
* Reorganise and tidy-up of the data-loading processes' structures
* The local repository update (HPKR) and data-load occur in background
processes now in the same system as the HDS data-load - this has been
crudely shifted from the MainWindow to new Processes and incorporated
into the background processing system
* The 'state-machine' background process runner is now replaced with a
'coordinator' style approach that can more easily handle the new
processes related to HPKR loading.
* Progress for loading processes is shown in the main window in the
WorkStatusView - this is flickering a bit, but basically works
* Added some documentation regarding how Processes work in the system
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item now also updates data from HDS
* The "Refresh Repositories" menu item is disabled when the background
processes are running that update the repository data
Some further refinement would be good, but this change is large enough
for one round of improvements. There is an issue that the status bar
is used for screenshot display as well as this data-loading, but that
was the case before so it is something that can be dealt with later if
it is a problem.

John's revert of my removal commit dragged back a bunch of cygwin/sunos
cruft, as well as re-adding RegExp.cpp to the host libshared, that we don't
need.
Instead, remove this and add libgnuregex_build to just the tools/keymap
link alongside the FreeBSD gnuregex case.
The cached top coordinate of each BListItem isn't updated when you
change the height of the item, leading to confusing highlighting and
incorrect mouse clicks. Rather than fixing it, this just documents a
workaround or two to force an update of the cached coordinates.
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.

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).

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.
This mostly reverts commit 75b219d35a.
The changes to the image URLs in Alert.dox are still needed, so I
didn't revert those.
As per discussion on the mailing list and IRC.
Since the "Layout" group is a member of the "Interface" group,
Doxygen automatically adds the "Interface" group to all pages
in the "Layout" group, meaning that having an explicit "ingroup Interface"
created duplicate group tags.
Surprisingly, after disabling the new Markdown support in the Doxyfile,
everything else pretty much worked out of the box. Only a number of CSS
changes were needed to adapt.
I wonder why nobody ever did this back in 2012 when 1.8 first came out...

Previous private ColorTools methods are made public and moved into GraphicsDefs:
mix_color, blend_color, disable_color
These are fully compatible with BeOS dan0 R5.1 methods and are just code cleanup
of BeOS example code under the OpenTracker license.
In addition, four new colors are created:
B_LINK_TEXT_COLOR
B_LINK_HOVER_COLOR
B_LINK_ACTIVE_COLOR
B_LINK_VISITED_COLOR
These changes are documented in their proper user documentation files.
In addition, due to a history rewrite, B_FOLLOW_LEFT_TOP has been defined and
used in lieu of B_FOLLOW_TOP | B_FOLLOW_LEFT and is included in this commit.
On the app_server side, the following has changed:
Add DelayedMessage - a system by which messages can be sent at a scheduled time,
and can also be merged according to set rules. A single thread is used to service the
message queue and multiple recipients can be set for each message.
Desktop gains the ability to add message ports to a DelayedMessage so that
said messages can target either all applications or all windows, as needed.
Desktop maintains a BMessage which is used to queue up all pending color changes
and the delayed messaging system is used to enact these changes after a short
period of time has passed. This prevents abuse and allows the system to merge
repeated set_ui_color events into one event for client applications, improving
performance drastically.
In addition, B_COLORS_UPDATED is sent to the BApplication, which forwards the message
to each BWindow. This is done to improve performance over having the app_server
independently informing each window.
Decorator changes are live now, which required some reworking.

DocBookCSS is a mostly-pure-CSS2 implementation of the DocBook standard.
Unlike DocBookXSL which relies on transforming the XML, it utilizes the
XML-styling features of modern web browsers to display the DocBook.

it looks (mostly) the same as the old DocBookXSL so we can stop using that.
Eventually we just need to make DocBookCSS use our styling.

Docset is an increasingly popular format that is used to generate
an index for HTML documentation that can be viewed by specialized
viewers such as Dash (on the Mac). The output can only be generated
on a Mac currently. Enabling the DOCSET parameter will generate a

the Docset itself.
Enabling the Docset Makefile does not negatively impact other things,
as such it seems safe to just enable it for whoever wants to build

Some variable renaming mostly because of abbreviations.
Add documentation for all the public methods and app_info members and defines

While enums are presented much more clearly in the docs and the values didn't
change this apparently caused some issues so we're going back to using #defines.
Also update the docs changing the \var tags to \def tag and putting the description
in a \brief tag.
* Add \since directive to each method.
* Add documentation for BScrollBar and BScrollView classes.
* Title Case group titles.
* Some other minor documentation updates.
The biggest change is the addition of \since to each method. I've gone
through old versions of the BeBook and documented what version of BeOS
each method was introduced in. I'm only counting production releases
so I'm starting with BeOS R3 ignoring all DR and PR releases. Likewise,
all methods new to Haiku are listed as being introduced \since Haiku R1
ignoring alpha releases.
