BeOS & Derivatives Today the latest SVN checkout of Haiku sources gave us very good news: app_server can now run Tracker (screenshot 1 2 3), although it crashes so often that it is actually unusable. You can check this yourself by downloading a Haiku image from Philipp Schmid's blog and running it in Virtual PC (or VMWare). This news is a sign that Haiku is near alpha release.

Looks nice! Ok, except that the new font renderer obviously reports the wrong character string width - if you look at Expander Preferences, for instance, you'll notice that none of the text fits in the text boxes, same for some buttons. Seems like the renderer draws fonts too wide for the specified point size?

Calm down, they will fix all the gui nitty-gritty bugs, just they have a lot of work to do on the backend as well.
