Activity
We constantly build and release new, bleeding edge versions of Haiku for testing purposes. You can download and install these versions to check out the latest features and bug fixes.
Be aware that nightly images may be unstable. Additionally, some packages included with official releases need to be installed separately.
If you're OK with this, you can find further instructions at our Nightly image page.

Haiku to mentor interns in Google Summer of Code 2026
Haiku is proud to once again be part of the Google Summer of Code. Over the summer, new contributors will work on improving Haiku and related applications, with help from our mentor team. Google gives the participants a stipend, which allows them to work full-time on the project without the need to find another job.
The goal of the program is to introduce people to the way open source projects work, and encourage them to become long term contributors. Several members of the Haiku developer team are indeed former GSoC students.

The Gerrit code review iceberg, episode 5
Hello everyone!
We continue our exploration of old change requests on the Gerrit code review tool that have been waiting for several years for someone to pick them up and get them merged. There are currently 316 commits awaiting review in the code review tool. This is quite a bit down from the 350 at the end of last year. It looks like these blog posts are having some positive effect, and also some of the developers could spend a bit more time on Haiku during their winter break?

The Gerrit code review iceberg, episode 4
Welcome to most likely the last blog post of the year!
We continue our exploration of old change requests on the Gerrit code review tool that have been waiting for several years for someone to pick them up and get them merged. There are currently 350 commits awaiting review in the code review tool. The oldest one is now untouched since early 2019.
First of all, let’s look at updates for the changes from the previous blog post in the series: one of them has found a new owner, and DriveSetup may soon get its long awaited menu to read and write disk images to partitions!
The Gerrit code review iceberg, episode 3
Recently some discussions on the forum led to asking about the status of our Gerrit code review. There are a lot of changes there that have been inactive for several years, with no apparent interest from anyone. To be precise, there are currently 346 commits waiting for review (note that Gerrit, unlike Github and other popular code review tools, works on a commit-by-commit basis, so each commit from a multiple-commit change is counted separately). The oldest one has not seen any comments since 2018.
