R1/Alpha4/ReleaseNotes
v27 v28 5 5 We have tried hard to make this release as good as possible. Still there are a few known issues and missing features, some of them collected below. Please keep in mind that this is alpha software, which means it is not yet feature complete and still contains known and unknown bugs. While we are mostly confident in the stability of this release, we do not provide any assurances against data loss. 6 6 7 Another goal that has driven the release of the Alpha 4 .1was to provide current and future Haiku developers an updated and (mostly) stable operating system to work on their software projects. Therefore we have included the basic build tools. This release of Haiku is capable of building and running binaries using either GCC 2 or GCC 4. The use of GCC 4 is discouraged however if not absolutely necessary, as no API compatibility is guaranteed with future versions of Haiku.7 Another goal that has driven the release of the Alpha 4 was to provide current and future Haiku developers an updated and (mostly) stable operating system to work on their software projects.

The specific bugs fixed in this point release are http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/8684 and http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/9128. Both of those issues prevented Haiku from booting properly on several hardware configurations.9 Due to the immediate testing efforts of Release 1 Alpha 4, we are able to release this critical bugfix version.
