Oakbits

Folstein 1.1 has been released. This new release is aligned with the changes done in Haiku Alpha3. it also contains some bug-fixing and enhancements.

The technical talk blog is open. This place will be a way to inform on the progress of OakBits projects.

I am very proud to announce the release of the first game of Oakbits: Jigsaw is a jigsaw puzzle game designed for Palm WebOS based touch devices. Being based on OpenGL allows smooth movements and transitions when solving a puzzle.
This will also make easy to port it to haiku, even though it will need some interface adaptations before, so that it is well integrated in a desktop user interface.

The second product of Oakbits is now available: Folstein is a native client for using Virus Total services. It is an open source software (released under MIT license), designed especially for Haiku. From now you can use more than 40 antivirus systems within Haiku!

Happy new year to everyone. No doubt that this year will be exciting for the Haiku world and Oakbits will try to contribute to it. I already submitted some patches for our favorite os and hope to do more in the future.
On the Oakbits side I am very pleased to announce that NetLock 2.0 is almost completely ported on Haiku. The critical part was the driver that monitors network access. Thanks to the very modular architecture of the kernel this could be done quite easily. However there will probably be no public release before a beta version of haiku is available. This should let enough time to add the features planned for the next big version.
