Haiku updates filesystem and CPU support |
|
The Haiku developers have been working on a lot of behind-the-scenes changes over the past two months. Two of the key areas of focus have been introducing write support for Btrfs storage volumes and improving 64-bit ARM process support. "Part of the work done by brjhaiku on Btrfs write support for Google Summer of Code has been merged. Nothing very exciting for end-users here, but at least we have a working and documented btrfs_shell to experiment with the code. Some time ago, a large set of patches preparing for ARM64 have been submitted by Jaroslaw Pelczar. These are a rework of an earlier and more invasive porting attempt, which could not be merged as-is because it had compatibility problems with other platforms. The code is slowly being reviewed and merged a small piece at a time. So far, it is mostly changes required to get Haiku to compile, without much in terms of actual added functionality or support." These changes, along with several others, are detailed in the project's monthly newletter. |
