NEW • Development Release: Haiku R1 Beta 5 |
Rate this project
|
Haiku is an open-source operating system, currently in beta development, that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the Be Operating System (BeOS), Haiku aims to become a fast, efficient, and simple to use. The project latest release, R1 Beta 5, introduces a number of performance improvements, particularly with networking, simplifies adjusting the theme, and ports several open source applications to Haiku. "Simplified color selection and 'Dark mode': Instead of displaying all 30-odd color options in the Appearance preferences and making users edit all of them, by default only three are shown, and the rest are automatically computed whenever one of these three are changed. (The full set of colours can still be edited manually, for any users that want to do that.) This new automatic color selection mode is fully 'dark mode'-aware; it will switch to using light text colours when users select dark panel background colours, and vice versa. In addition, there were many fixes throughout the system and in built-in applications to handle user-selected colours and 'dark mode' more correctly (especially as regards control gradients, as you can see here; though some of these are already not an issue if one uses the 'Flat' decorator and control look from the 'Haiku Extras' package)." Additional information is provided in the Haiku release notes. Download (SHA256): haiku-r1beta5-x86_64-anyboot.iso (1,408MB, torrent, pkglist). |

Kali Linux is a Debian-based distribution with a collection of security and forensics tools. Version 2024.3 of the distribution offers support for Qualcomm Snapdragon SDM845 SoC and includes eleven new tools. This distribution also begins the work on migrating to a new, significant Python update. "The summary of the changelog since the 2024.2 release from June is: Qualcomm NetHunter Pro Devices - Qualcomm Snapdragon SDM845 SoC now supported; new Tools - 11x new tools in your arsenal. Our focus has been on a lot of behind the scenes updates and optimizations since the last release. There have been some messy migrations, with multiple stacks, all interrelating. After the t64 transition finished up, it was straight into multiple other transitions - GCC 14, glibc 2.40 and Python 3.12. This last one is the most significant. This new Python release removed some long-deprecated APIs, breaking a fair number of packages. We have been busy fixing it all, we are almost there, Python 3.12 will be the default in the next version of Kali, 2024.4." Additional information is provided in the release announcement.

Please note that the change to PKGBSD and the OS update to 24.07.1 could cause issues, as the update manager was only set to upgrade GhostBSD to PKGBSD from a minor version. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." A full list of changes is presented in the project's release announcement.
