Haiku ports Audacity and Epiphany |
|
The Haiku team have been working on bringing new software and features to their lightweight, graphical operating system. The project is adding a few new applications and key software packages, including Audacity and the Epiphany web browser: "davidkaroly did a lot of work on the recipe for Audacity, which more or less works at this point and might appear in HaikuDepot before too long. 3dEyes committed recipes for the new Wayland compatibility layer written by X512, and adjusted GTK3 to build against this instead of against waddlesplash's X11 compatibility layer. He then updated or added a lot of other GTK-related recipes, culminating in the addition of gtkwebkit and Epiphany (aka. GNOME Web), which is the most capable browser seen on Haiku yet: it is much more stable than Falkon, and supports complex but common websites with YouTube without much ado (and without crashing or hanging frequently like the other browsers available before this were generally prone to.) It does require installing quite a lot of packages (as GTK is not especially lightweight), however. Other GTK-based applications have been trickling in to HaikuPorts as well." A complete overview of work going into Haiku can be found in the project's newsletter for November 2022. |
