A couple of updates come to us from OpenBeOS land. First, we have a new newsletter, which brings it up to Issue 27. In this issue (a very long one), they've included 3 (count'em) rants by FL#2 (as someone said) Michael Phipps and one by Daniel Reinhold. Go check it out right here.

Second update, is a big one. A new milestone (Milestone 2) has been reached by the Registrar. It's Milestone 2 out of 4, and it comes to us due to a great job done by Ingo and Ted. Here's the scope:

"After much dilligent work by Ingo and myself, registrar milestone 2 has been reached! :-)

In addition to everything we had before (complete running application support and inter-app messaging, plus a BRoster skeleton) we now have non-running application querying in BRoster, plus complete MIME support (i.e. BNodeInfo, BAppFileInfo, the C mime functions, BMimeType, and mime database support in the registrar).

Ingo has already begun work on milestone 3, for which is planned complete BRoster support (launching, watching, recent support, broadcasting) as well as complete BMessageRunner and BClipboard implementations."

Great job guys, keep it up.

UPDATE:
It seems there are only _two_ rants by Michael, the first one isn't.. damn it! :)
