Haiku lists several fixes in its August newsletter

The Haiku project has published its monthly newsletter for August. In the post, the team lists their accomplishments of the past month. Many of the updates are bug fixes and they cover a wide range, from network drivers, to filesystems, to interface improvements. One of the changes users are most likely to notice concerns audio: "waddlesplash fixed a number of time computation bugs in the media mixer (uncovered by the BTimeSource assertions change mentioned below), which fixed many (if not most or all) of the cases of the "no audio immediately after boot, only some time later" bug. He also improved its event scheduling efficiency, fixed some of its logic around disconnecting/reconnecting to outputs, and fixed some crashes in the multi-audio node caused by certain audio devices reporting invalid control types. (He also experimented with adding logic to switch sound outputs without restarting the media services, but this doesn't work quite yet.)" The newsletter has a complete list of changes.
