After nearly three years without an official release, OpenTracker 5.3.0 has been released to BeBits. Currently only available for x86 (a PPC build is requested by Axel), OT 5.3 adds a basic calendar display to Deskbar, the ability to quit apps via Switcher, the ability to undo/redo Tracker actions, and many bug fixes, from stability to font sensitivity. Many of the latter issues were found initially on Haiku, where Tracker also runs.

Old problems solved (at least that 'freezing' bug) and other stuff. I don't know what to say about the calendar so far.
It's great to see development - fuelled by Haiku development itself.
I put my bets on Haiku as an alternative to Linux and Windows. Let's see how far it goes.

Eugenia,
seeing as Haiku doesn't actually run this version of Tracker - the Haiku Tracker is a _port_ of this version, not the same exe, I think using the Haiku Icon is a little misleading.
By _port_ I mean port. It is not the same code base recompiled, as I understand it.

Axel implied it wasn't.
I quote (bebits comments)
"To El_Al: Tracker is using private Be API, it won't run on Haiku unchanged. It has been ported to Haiku, though, and the Haiku version is up-to-date as well (so there is no need to replace it, anyway)."
Therefore he _implied_ the source was different.
