There is now a BurnItNow gcc2 binary available, a gcc4 binary will probably be posted soon as well. So grab the binary, kick it around, burn some CDs and report any issues you might find with it. Be sure that you have already installed the cdrtools optionalpackage, if you don't already have it installed, just run "installoptionalpackages cdrtools" from the terminal.

Progress continues on the rewrite, with a basic skeleton GUI already taking shape.

We are going to be rewriting BurnItNow from the ground up, this will
be done in /trunk. The legacy code has been moved to /branches/legacy
and will be maintained for bug fixes, but no new features will be
added tp it. We will be posting a binary from the legacy code soon,
but want to fix up a few issues with it first.

Changes:

- The PTP module has been partially rewritten. Memory problems should be no more & it is a little faster.

- The Mass storage module has also been rewritten (version 3.0.0 now). It is now faster & more stable.

- Many more fixes.

The bug tracker on the haiku-wifi project is closed now. Due to the integration of WiFi support into Haiku new bugs are now posted to dev.haiku-os.org.
More information about this topic here: http://www.haikuware.com/blog/wlan-stack-sum-up-on-going-and-future-work-html

Displays the minimum system information and information about the current track of the Cl-Amp.
The current package contains:
-driver for the LPT-port (AlienSoldier (Martin Caron))
-plugin for Cl-Amp to obtain information from the player (Claes Löfqvist)
-and My driver for LCD display

Finally, during the last few days of my vacation, I managed to get time to upload the Beezer source code base. There is still a lot of work, and since the code is several years old I'm not particularly happy with it (needs consistency changes, architectural dumbness in certain places etc.).

I still need to upload Docs, Installer and Pictures folder.

Anyway, I'm happy I've at least now open sourced Beezer. I've licensed it under BSD and hopefully the community can use Beezer as and how it requires. All I ask is, if you use my work or parts of it, please give credit for it :)

Tschuess!

Haiku's network stack is now correctly informed, when joining and leaving a WLAN.
This results in a more reliable behaviour under bad signal situations.
It should also fix previous IP assignment issues when using DHCP.

• prevent confusion between the old nightlies and the testing versions
• due to slow down in development there aren't anymore driver versions you could call a nightly :)

We are happy to announce support for Mercurial SCM.
The mercurial.osdrawer.net subdomain has been registered and the "Getting started" wiki page has been updated with instructions as the 'submit project' page on www.osdrawer.net, so if you need a Mercurial SCM repository for your project just choose it from the dropdown box.

The only glitch is that it seems our version of Redmine doesn't support Mercurial in the 'Repository' page, it bails out with the error 'The entry or revision was not found in the repository.'.

We're looking into it, but it's not a serious issue because Mercurial has a very nice Web interface, just point your browser at http://mercurial.osdrawer.net

To the Git users out there: we are working to get Git support ASAP, so stay tuned!

After restructuring the WLAN stack it is now possible to
- dynamically un/-reload the driver
- shutting WLAN completely down by using ifconfig /dev/net/atheros/0 down (reenabling might require a reboot, though)

Note: To reload the driver, it must be ensured that no program is using the driver. With issuing the command ifconfig /dev/net/atheros/0 down
you can enforce this.
