Haiku Activity & Contract Report, August 2024 | Haiku Project

#Second

Thanks for the hard work !

I was interested how those many patches - I’ve seen on Gerrit - would be going to be reported in a written blog post … and now : it had turned out !.. It was a long list also - explained !..

Apropos, explanation :

- What the heck is “S3 bucket” ?
Is it some server storage way ? or a container-like stuff ?

(I would be appreciated if such terms described in the report or just after there.)

Howaver, I would mention the followings …
Yepp , I’m one of those guys who experienced huge network download speed accelerationhowever not generallyand not since August, but lately.

Foe example
I have even 7-8 MB/sec dl speed in some cases in Falkon recently, however GNOME Web with the same source worked in KB territory and not some hundreds , bur under 100 KB/sec.

Also packages downloaded max. 1-2 MB/sec speed, I admit they comes overseas, and once package validation with minisign will be resolved we might have European haiku repos … and then I can compare it more fairly.

It is not complains - just facts from me –
Besides these above … I’m happy with observed acceleration, I just remark
it is still not equally general. Apps do not handle / use it equally and plain use from OS is not remarkable for first sight.
