Zeta Archive

In this screenshot you can see an updated /lib folder serving BeOS. In the folder, every library present, with the exception of libbe, libroot (and libGL which it comes from the MESA project) are Haiku libs. Hopefully, soon Haiku will be able to replace and extend on the original BeOS. On related news, IsComputerOn is now the distributors of YellowTAB's Zeta in North America.

yellowTAB has announced that they are making Zeta's user license more family-friendly.

Elsewhere, Adi Oanca of the Haiku OS project is participating on the App/Interface Kit development and HaikuNews interviewed him.

Are you in for some coding this summer? yellowTAB has today started their first development contest. The price for the first one to develop a fully working ICH AC97 driver, is 300 euros and a free copy of Zeta from yellowTAB. yellowTAB is a small company with few resources, so this contest is a promising call out to the dev community.

YellowTAB's Zeta 1.0-RC3 is now available for purchase via the Mensys distributor.

yellowTAB is currently revamping the media services in Zeta by adding new native CODECs to the Media Kit, and developing a brand new native media player application, code named Champion. This will add native support for common media formats that cannot be currently played in the BeOS platform, as well as high-performance video streaming capabilities to Zeta. Also, TuneTracker will include Zeta in its CD from now on. Elsewhere, a USB mass storage driver for BeOS 5 was released.

Replicants are classes unarchived from an add-on. They live in the address space of the application which is hosting the replicant, and would therefore only have the translation strings available to the host application by default. Read the article here. Update: OpenBeOS also published their newsletter with another article about replicants.
