Paladin iconHaiku developer Jon "DarkWyrm" Yoder recently released a new version of Paladin, a native integrated development environment (IDE) for Haiku. Paladin 1.3 comes only a few months after previous version 1.2.1, adding several new features, including Subversion and Mercurial based source control integration (Git support is in the works), a feature to import BeIDE projects, an update to ccache 3.0.1 for speedier re-compilation times, and the ability to perform dependency checking using fastdep, an alternative to GCC's dependency checker that much faster. Paladin's new packaging system currently under development could not make it into this release, but is expected to be part of the upcoming 1.4 version.

Paladin 1.3 can be downloaded from from Haikuware and DarkWyrm's Library. Please note that Haiku r38082 is required, as this new version of Paladin relies on a few recent bug fixes done to Haiku to run.

Cover of Learning to Program with HaikuMost Haiku fans must already know about Learning to Program with Haiku, a book written by Haiku developer Jon Yoder (aka DarkWyrm) and recently published by the author through Lulu.com. This book, the first one about the Haiku operating system to hit the shelves, introduces aspiring developers to the wonders of application programming in Haiku using C++, and does so in an easy to follow, step by step format.

Jon and a group of Haiku community members from Japan have reached a basic agreement to to produce and publish a Japanese version of this book to target (you guessed) Japanese readers. To that end, a translation and editing team has been formed that will work to make this project come to fruition. The team is comprised by long time BeOS and Haiku developer from Japan known as SHINTA, the developer of the Canna Japanese input method used in Haiku Takashi Murai, the current Japanese Translation Manager for Haiku Satoshi Eguchi, and former Haiku marketing guru Jorge G. Mare (ehem, that's me).

Approximately six months since its last release, up and coming Integrated Development Environment (IDE) Paladin has reached version 1.2.0. According to Paladin developer Jon "Darkwyrm" Yoder, the highlights for this version are time-saving features, such as templates for common application types, an import feature that creates a Paladin project from existing sources, and a regular expression tester. For compilation speed gains, the new version also includes ccache, and open source compiler cache for C/C++.
