The #chez #scheme port for haiku is progressing through review. I was impressed with the speed and quality of reviewing that was done so far. As a first time contributor to #haikuports it's really nice to get the feedback and tips. #haikuos #scheme

New in haikuports depot, Gnumeric 1.12.60, after watching @michel ‘s YT channel he mentioned the GTK spreadsheet application was missing. With a bit of fiddling it can be used now!

Well, I had to learn more that I was expecting (particularly about how tests work in the #chez #scheme code), but I've just submitted the PR on the #haikuports
repository. If that port gets accepted I'll have a go at getting the new #haiku machine types for Chez added to the upstream project.

I might then move towards getting #racket up and running on #Haiku on the basis of the Chez port. #haikuos

Krita 6 (and 5.3) released! Two top-tier #art #apps for the price of one!
Look forward to Wayland color management (for Krita 6); an overhauled text tool with direct on-canvas editing, wrapped text and text-on-path capacity; a new #comic panel assistant; and so much more 🖌️.

5.3.0 now released also for Haiku, 6.0.0 is still a bit too early to replace 5.3.0 on Haiku.

Locally updated Qt to 6.11.0-rc, so far first checks are good, only visual change atm is the increased fontsize like in NeoChat and Tokodon.

Marknote bugfix release 1.5.1 is out. While the Haiku user will still be one version 1.4.1, I keep up here with latest releases and nightly builds, making sure things are still OK when Qt > 6.8 will be available for Haiku.

Code-blocks are working fine and the markdown editor has been improved a lot, with quotes being fixed among other things being fixed.
