Happy New-Year to all out there! From our side at haikuports where we've been mainly cleaning reports from our buildmasters in the last week, one PR is still pending approval from the main Haiku developers, then all is clear for now.

Quite some changes are in the pipeline, beta6 release maybe in the next weeks/months for Haiku?

Some MESA changes enabling libglvnd, this paves the way for the NVidia (experimental) driver.

Happy Haiku'n!

TeXstudio updated to version 4.9.1

To all of you out there, all the best for 2026!

PS, thanks to Bruno for providing me some sample tex files to be able to track this!

KDE gear25.12 has been released for Haiku, a few parts remained on gear25.08 but got updated to 25.08.3 (due to Qt limitations on Haiku).
Aside from that, a new one made it's entry, Kalzium can now also be installed on Haiku. Enjoy the holidays and wishing you all the best for 2026.

Well, can’t stand loose ends, will try to update those that can be build.

First one is Gwenview, both KF5 (needed revbump for new exiv2 package anyway) and KF6 version are build on buildmaster for Haiku.

Updated at haikuports: Octave 10.3.0 (while cleaning up dependencies on lapack, this was one that was part of that).

New at haikuports, lasermagic 0.1.36, after the first recipe draft by @pulkomandy for this and some pointers found at #repology I was able to complete the package and make it available as an extention for Inkscape.

Update at haikuports, TEXstudio updated to 4.9.0, R updated to 4.5.2

In the screenshot Cantor 25.08.3 with R.

Too bad we can't update RKWard yet due to it's dependency of qtwebengine (Qt6)

Playground: Haiku running Haiku in qemu, I already had a setup earlier for this with 64bit, now with a local build for 32bit Haiku I can now boot this on a 64bit host. Not for building large (resource hungry) packages, but still nice.
Also enables me to quickly check dependencies for packages in the depot. :)

Up and running (haven't hunted down any connections to ollama or the likes yet). :)
