Välkommen till Haiku!
Thank you very much for checking out Haiku! This is our fourth public release. We hope to attract new developers to our project and give future users a chance to check out Haiku. We realize that this alpha release does not yet fully live up to the goals that we have set for ourselves and doesn't offer all the features and well-rounded end-user experience planned for the final R1 version. However, we hope that this release lets you discover Haiku's great potential and that you share our excitement.
Visit our project's website Haiku-os.org for the latest news and announcements.
Varning för buggar
We have been working hard to fix potentially critical bugs, however, being an alpha release, there are bound to be plenty left undiscovered.
En av huvudanledningarna till varför vi ger ut en alfa-version är för att locka fler att testa systemet, upptäcka buggar eller förse oss med förslag för framtida förbättringar. Vänligen registrera buggar och förbättringar i vårt projekthanteringssystem efter att ha använt dess sökfunktion, för att på så sätt undvika att dubletter skapas.
Lär känna Haiku
Dom första utgåvorna av Haiku kommer att vara väldigt lik BeOS R5, operativsystemet som vi omimplementerar. Om du aldrig har upplevt det, ta då en titt på följande länkar:
Installera ytterligare programvara
Most of the available software can be downloaded and installed with the application HaikuDepot that comes with Haiku.
Because of our binary and source compatibility, most BeOS applications run on Haiku. Many of those have been re-packaged for Haiku or still run unmodified. You'll find more information on installing new programs in the user guide's chapter on Applications.
Besides using HaikuDepot, popular software repositories are:
- Haikuware
- BeBits
- HaikuPorts - maintains patches for ported software
- HaikuArchives - hosts native BeOS and Haiku open source software projects in a github
Wifi i Haiku
Haiku supports wireless networks that are WPA/WPA2 or WEP encrypted and of course open, unencrypted connections. Due to several different licensing policies of different hardware vendors, a manual installation process for the firmware may be required. You'll find more information on supported hardware, firmware installation and how to join a wireless network in the Haiku User Guide's Workshop: Wireless networking.
Lär känna Haiku's API
Since Haiku is a reimplementation, the API is still the same as for BeOS R5 (with some additions). Therefore the documentation in the Be Book is still a valid resource. Thanks to ACCESS, who owns the rights to former Be Inc. property, we are allowed to provide a copy of the Be Book.
Deviations from the BeOS API and Haiku specific additions are collected in the Haiku Book.
There are some resources that should help you getting started:
