After nearly 6 years since R1/alpha4, Haiku R1/beta1 has been released.

[...] This release sees the addition of official x86_64 images, alongside the existing x86 32-bit ones.

[...] By far the largest change in this release is the addition of a complete package management system.

I'm very happy to see the progress alternative open source operating systems have made in recent years.

[Haiku -- an OS,
development continues,
open source is good.
Try your own --Ed.]

    Meh, the userland apocalypse where systemd is a dependency of everything has yet to happen.

    All the CoC means is that we'll need to keep an eye out for the patches the CIA/FBI/NSA/name-your-favorite-TLA rams through under the guise of butbut the female programmers! Then we'll fork. Easier said than done, sure, but all is not lost.
