The App/Interface Kit has reached Milestone 1, according to their roadmap, as was reported by Ingo Weinhold.

This is very good news for OpenBeOS. Here's a quote from the OBOS' site:

Quote:

Implemented features:

1 BMessenger: Completely.
2 BRoster: Almost everything that has to do with running applications, i.e. the private methods for app registration and the public methods IsRunning(), TeamFor(), Get[Running]AppInfo(), GetAppList().
3 BApplication: The signature constructor, InitData() -- not completely: the connection to the app server is not initialized as well as a lot of members -- Run() and Quit(). The registration with the roster is complete, and hooks like ArgvReceived(), RefsReceived(), ReadyToRun() are called properly.
4 Registrar: The registrar skeleton: An application class dispatching messages, an empty clipboard handler, an empty MIME database manager. The TRoster class, the actual roster, is almost complete.


As Ingo says, there is still a lot of work, and testing to be done.

He, and the rest of the App/Interface Team are doing one hell of a job, then again, that's not new in OBOS land is it.
