It's time to kick the tires on Haiku again! There have been several releases since the last time I looked.
Unfortunately I am looking at this at a bad time; Beta 4 has been out for a long time, but the Haiku folks are working on the next release and have disabled some things, so a few of the new features I wanted to show off won't actually work. Oh well.

There has been a fair amount of backend work that I can't capture in these screenshots, so I am focusing merely on the visible things. If you want a comprehensive list of changes, you can see the release notes for every prior release, and this one.

Haiku Beta 4 Installer
The Haiku installer now basically behaves like a more modern Linux distribution does, asking you either to install or try. Otherwise it's basically unchanged.

Haiku Beta 4 Splash
The Haiku splash screen is also unchanged.

Haiku Beta 4 Desktop
A look at the default desktop. Most importantly, even in today's world it is devoid of Artificial Idiocy, and any kind of advertising!

Haiku Beta 4 About
The about dialog hasn't really changed either.

Haiku Beta 4 Deskbar
Other than some minor cosmetic changes the Deskbar hasn't changed much either.
