The BeOS-inspired Haiku open-source operating system project has published their April 2025 progress report.

Haiku OS over the course of April has landed a number of improvements to this innovative OS with some of the improvements including:

- Various Terminal fixes.

- Haiku can now handle more than one PCI bus on x86 such as needed for some types of bridge devices.

- Support for more AMD Radeon Polaris-based graphics cards within the Radeon_HD driver.

- Support within the Wacom driver for the Cintiq 13HD device.

- Synchronizing the Haiku stdio / printf / sscanf implementations against much newer Glibc versions that in turn fixes various problems.
