devfs_get_device() returns the device for a given path (if any), also
acquiring a reference to its vnode (thus ensuring the device won't go
away). devfs_put_device() puts the device vnode's reference.
* When registering a ram disk, a file can be specified. Its content will
be loaded into the ram disk:
echo register <file> > /dev/disk/virtual/ramdisk/control
* At any time changes to the ram disk data can be written back to the
file:
echo flush /path/to/ramdisk > /dev/disk/virtual/ramdisk/control
If not explicitly written back, the changes will be lost on reboot.
* Add a detailed listing mode (-D/--details), which prints a table with
repository/installation location name, package name, package version,
package architecture.
* Make the normal listing more compact. Now there's only one row per
package. The "Installed" column has been replaced by "Status" which
displays if/where the package is installed and whether it matches the
repository version.
We can send the data directly to the output socket instead of copying it
into a BString first, at the cost of very slightly less information in
debug output.
Somehow gcc doesn't detect the linker is GNU ld when run in Haikuporter.
We now force this in the recipe. This allows gcc to invoke the linker
with response files, avoiding "command line too long" errors, for
example when building WebKit.
* Determine whether called from userland or kernel.
* Check the buffer address via IS_USER_ADDRESS(), if from userland.
* Simplify things by merging UserRead() with Read() and
UserWrite() with Write().
* Network stack socket module: socket_control(): The FIONREAD argument
is int, not ssize_t.
* Net kit: getsockopt(): R5_SO_FIONREAD: Fix ioctl() argument. Was
taking a pointer of what already was a pointer to the buffer.
* libedit: el_gets(): The FIONREAD argument is int, not long.
The Open method can fail and leave the StreamBase object without an
IOContext, but the destructor tried to dereference it anyway.
This fixes APlayer crashing on many files instead of skipping them.
* Increase FIFO buffer capacity from 32 to 64 KiB and the FIFO atomic
write size ({BUF_SIZE}) from 512 bytes to 4 KiB (both like Linux).
* Fix *pathconf(..., _PC_PIPE_BUF). It was returning 4 KiB although the
implemented atomic write size was 512 bytes only. Now both *pathconf()
and the FIFO implementation refer to the same constant.
Use a default context instead. This allows apps without a context
management to still have cookies and HTTP digest authentication (without
persistence to disk).
First part of fix to #10239 (it also needs changes in WebKit).
* Replace the package action button with a download-progress bar
while the package downloads. Needs some tweaks to the layout code
to avoid pushing the rest of the title area to the left, but its a
first step. An additional dedicated area somewhere in the UI which
lists all on-going tasks would be nice as well.
These allow getting the duration of the currently playing item and the
current playing position as well as setting the absolute position and
seeking by relative time via scripting.
