So, rc3 has been released, files are here. This time I really do hope there’s no more bugs and v1.2 can officially be released next week.
Basically, once an RC lasts at least a week with no new reported issues, it becomes the final release version… I’ll not bother with a Haiku package for this one since it looks like haikuports is the better way to distribute anyway.
In this case yes, because the letters are very “geometrical”, I usually start sketching on Post-Its, if it looks right, I just import it to WonderBrush (I don’t use the IOM internal reference image feature, because WB has a bigger canvas) then to IOM
Should it be launched from Terminal only ?
As nothing happened if I clicked on it Deskbar/Application menu entry for SyncTERM.

SDL Video Initialization Failed

If SDL is installed, you should be able to launch it normally. If SDL is not installed, it is a terminal-only app on Haiku currently (and should likely be ran with -ic then configured for Curses mode).
If Haiku ever boots on my laptop, I’ll likely do a native Haiku backend so the SDL dependency isn’t required.
