Bitcoin now accepted!
Posted 12 days ago by mmadia
In a third installment of donation infrastructure updates, Bitcoin is now accepted! As you may know, bitcoin is a digital currency, which can be "mined" or traded online for cash and various goods and services. Donation buttons are listed on Haiku ... [More] , Inc.'s donation page. For those who prefer, our bitcoin address is 1CvgfZCz9Scw3711zU1SN59Q8rvas3FgU1. [Less]
Flattery will get you everything.
Posted 13 days ago by mmadia
Another development in Haiku's donation infrastructure has been implemented! This time it's Flattr - Social microdonations. Flattr is a way for you to set a monthly donation budget, which then automatically gets divided into equal pieces and donated ... [More] to people you choose to "Flattr". You can read more about How Flattr Works.

In time, we expect Flattr buttons to be added elsewhere, including haiku-files.org and even within individual postings on the website. For now, it's added underneath the piggy bank donation meter, which shows the yearly income from donations. We understand that no single donation processor will meet every person's wants or needs, so we are continuing to adopt multiple options. [Less]
Raising funds for Haiku through Goodsearch
Posted 13 days ago by mmadia
Last month on the [haiku-inc] mailing list, Arman "Kulluminatii" Chahal suggested adding Haiku to Goodsearch. "What is Goodsearch?", you may ask. It's a Yahoo! powered search engine that will donate money (about a penny) to your favorite non-profit ... [More] or school. They provide other ways to help earn money -- shopping online, participating in online surveys, completing special offers and more! This past week, the registration process completed and Haiku is now a participating non profit!

To choose Haiku as your cause,

Go to goodsearch's homepage
Click the "Choose a cause" button
Enter "Haiku" in the search box.
Select "Haiku (Saddle Brook, NJ)"

Currently, WebPositive is hard-coded to use Google when performing a search query from the URL bar. Until a user-defined setting is implemented, the easiest way is simply to set goodsearch as the start page, navigate to it and perform your search.

To set WebPositive's homepage,

Go to Window and select Settings
Paste http://www.goodsearch.com/ as the Start page and click Apply.

Overall, this is another way each of us can collectively chip in and help raise secure additional funding for HAIKU. Thank you for the suggestion, Kulluminatii! [Less]
Debugger: Overview of New Features
Posted 27 days ago by anevilyak
In the past few weeks, I've managed to find a bit more free time to work on Haiku. As per usual, the lion's share of this time was spent on improving our integrated debugger. As such, I thought I'd give a brief overview of what's been added, and how it can be useful.

ASLR and DEP implemented
Posted about 1 month ago by Paweł Dziepak
Starting with hrev45522 address space layout randomization (ASLR) and data execution prevention (DEP) are available in Haiku. These two features, which have actually become a standard in any modern OS, make it much harder to exploit any vulnerability ... [More] that may be present in an application running on Haiku thus generally improve system security.

Package Management: Building Things
Posted about 1 month ago by bonefish
It's been almost three weeks since the previous blog post and some people start wondering what the current status
is and what were working on exactly, so it's time for an update. Incidentally the time is perfect for an
update anyway, since ... [More] we've just reached our first important milestone: haikuporter supports hierarchical
building of packages.

Google Summer of Code 2013 - Update
Posted about 1 month ago by anevilyak
Bummer!

We did not make it into Google Summer of Code this year. We were fortunate to be selected so often in the past, but apparently it's now time to let other projects benefit from this summer event; 177 out of 417 projects were chosen ... [More] this year. GSoC 2012 went especially well for us though, which certainly makes this announcement that much more difficult to swallow. Congratulations and best wishes to the organizations that were accepted, and hopefully we'll have better luck next year. [Less]

NFSv4 client finally merged
Posted 2 months ago by Paweł Dziepak
Earlier this week NFSv4 client I have been working on during the last year Google Summer of Code has been merged into the main Haiku repository and is now available in nightly images. The client supports all caching mechanisms available in the ... [More] version 4 of NFS what means that it can get the most out of network connection and the server. Unfortunately due to limitations of the NFS protocol itself extended attributes are not supported yet.

Update 2: Contracts for Package Management
Posted 2 months ago by mmadia
An unexpected change has necessitated a delay to the start of the package management contracts. Ingo recently posted the update to the [haiku-inc] mailing list. To sum it up, the parts he is responsible for need to be updated to match changes by the ... [More] customer. At this time, the delay could be anywhere from a few days of work or could be several weeks. The current plan is for Ingo and Oliver to start at the same time. While that asks for patience among us, having both working in tandem is expected to have a synergistic effect. As more information becomes available, I'll try to keep everyone up to date.
