Haiku OS Sees Work On Better App HiDPI Scaling, Better Intel WiFI Driver From OpenBSD
The Haiku open-source operating system project inspired by BeOS had a busy month of June with a number of enhancements made to this OS. Haiku just published their convenient monthly recap that highlights all of the interesting changes made the past month to this open-source OS.
On the hardware driver side, Haiku OS has replaced its iprowifi3945 / wpi WiFi driver originally imported from the FreeBSD codebase with the WiFi driver from the OpenBSD codebase. The Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG WiFi driver from OpenBSD rather than FreeBSD turns out to work better at least on Haiku OS.
Haiku OS also saw some applications work on better HiDPI scaling support, more robust error handling was merged for the FAT file-system driver, the groundwork for Path MTU discovery was laid in its kernel, and a variety of other improvements made.
