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. As this is alpha software, at this time no ABI compatibility is guaranteed with future versions of Haiku. 15 9 16 == System Requirements==10 == System Requirements == 17 11 18 12 Haiku currently only works on x86 systems. The absolute minimum memory required to boot Haiku is 192 MB. Recommended memory for end users is 512 MB or more. Developers should have 1 GB or more. Haiku has been tested to work on CPUs as slow as a Pentium II 400 MHz, and requires as little as 700 MB of drive space. 19 13 20 == New Features==14 == New Features == 21 15 22 16 This is a glimpse into some of the more notable improvements and additions to Haiku, since the previous release, R1 Alpha 4. … … 50 44 Improved OpenGL rendering. 51 45 52 == Known Issues==46 == Known Issues == 53 47 54 48 LiveCD and first boot performance: After an initial installation or a boot into LiveCD mode, some background tasks are executed to finish the installation setup. This is known to degrade performance on the live media. … … 67 61 Due to size constraints of CDs, several developer related tools have been removed (e.g., hg, svn, cvs, python. They can be installed via pkgman or HaikuDepot) 68 62 69 == Source Code==63 == Source Code == 70 64 71 65 The source code of Haiku itself, the source code of the required build tools and the optional packages (except for closed source ones) is made available for download at: 72 66 http://www.haiku-files.org/files/releases/r1alpha5/sources/ 73 67 74 == Reporting Issues==68 == Reporting Issues == 75 69 76 70 There are over 3000 open tickets on Haiku's bug tracker and over 7700 closed items.
