  • Haiku gets GIMP, Inkscape

    Haiku';s latest activity report is here, and while there';s a lot of
    stuff in there - as usual - I think the Gtk work stands out this month.

    After all that work, GTK3 worked "well enough" that it seemed ready for general consumption (or at least testing), so waddlesplash committed
    the necessary changes to HaikuPorts for Xlibe to be packaged, and then
    GTK3, and then finally the first GTK3 application: Inkscape. Already,
    GIMP has followed closely on its tail thanks to 3dEyes (with some quick
    fixes to Xlibe done by waddlesplash for it), and more GTK3 applications
    are sure to follow once the HaikuPorts team gets caught up to speed on
    things.
    You can find screenshots on the forums of both GIMP and Inkscape
    running on Haiku. With that, waddlesplash has deemed the "GTK3 porting adventure" complete, and has returned to development work on Haiku's
    core for this coming month.

    That';s a lot of progress, and two great applications to have running
    on Haiku.

    That's all really good news.
    I get the feeling that the progress of Haiku gets faster with every week. There's once again really big news.
    Since yesterday we finally have support for Realtek-based USB Wifi
    sticks,and support for other manufacturers probably added soon.
    Maybe in a few months Haiku can become a feature-complete daily-driver.
