Thank you very much, very nice report and progress!
Thank you very much, very nice report and progress!
Great progress, thanks to all involved!
Especially nice to see media-related improvements. And I really need to check out HaikuDepot again some time (have been pkgman only for the last few years). Will the HaikuDepot changes eventually make it into Beta5 or stay confined to nightly until the next beta release?
As always, very interesting read!
I love to know all the details I must miss just using Haiku.
All the groundwork is impressive this month!
" PulkoMandy reworked the (incomplete) USB webcam driver …"
Yepp when I saw those patches I became excited - I was awaited when those hrevs could be installed even if those made changes on my webcam detectable status. Launched Codycam as well …
Wel… still no change for me, but it was lighting up some high hopes 
… the UVC driver part some time would be complete -
It was fun to feel … some miracle can happen. ;p

We did a mini coding sprint with Link Mauve looking at issues with the webcam driver (and other things), but only fixed some minor things. We improved listusb output, made some cleanups, got Cortex to log some info about the received video frames, and investigated some issues with assertions added by waddlesplash in the mediakit that don’t work well with CodyCam current usage of the webcam, and also fixed the driver so it detects modern usb webcams. But it still gives only a black picture, so there’s no point in enabling it just yet.
