Activity

We constantly build and and release new, bleeding edge versions of Haiku for testing purposes. You can download and install these versions to check out the latest features and bug fixes.

Be aware that nightly images may be unstable. Additionally, some packages included with official releases need to be installed separately.

If you're OK with this, you can find further instructions at our Nightly image page.

So you want to help with WebKit?

Blog post by PulkoMandy on Fri, 2024-03-01 12:00

This blog post was originally a forum post. It is reproduced here on the website to make it easier to find and reference. I heard that some more people may be interesting in helping with WebKit. So here is a summary of the current state, the things I think need work, or the possible future paths to explore. Keeping WebKitLegacy up and running The Web moves fast these days. So we have to stay very up to date with upstream WebKit.

RFC Coding Guidelines: Formatting Class Member Declarations

Blog post by nielx on Mon, 2024-02-05 16:13

This RFC proposes to change the Haiku coding guidelines to change the formatting of variable and member declarations from a Table Class Member Declaration Style, to a Normalized Declaration Style or a Aligned Declaration Style. The arguments are that (1) the current format has severe limitations which limits the aesthetic value of the current formatting, especially when modern C++ language features are used, and (2) it is not a good use of the time of Haiku’s contributors to modify and maintain custom logic in the haiku-format tool (derived from clang-format). If the proposal is adopted, any new code contributions will have to use the new formatting style, and contributors are required to reformat any declarations that they modify.

Haiku Developer Tools Update (October 2023)

Blog post by nielx on Sat, 2023-10-28 10:35

This article lists some of the recent updates for developer tools that are available in the HaikuPorts repository. Many of these can be installed from HaikuDepot.

This is the first article on this topic, but it may become a regular (quarterly?) series. Let me know in the comments what you find of these notes, and what else you think should be covered.

It’s worth noting: the main Haiku CI is currently offline as the developer who was hosting the build machine moved to a location with much slower internet. A new build machine and home for the CI has already been selected, but isn’t fully online yet, so the nightly builds are a bit behind at the moment.
