Great news coming in from the Haiku front everyone! Haiku now has swap support! You read it correctly, swap support. Google Summer of Code student Zhao Shuai has finished his project, thus bringing swap to Haiku and it's enabled by default as of rev 27233. This closes ticket #1972.

Ingo Weinhold has already tested building Haiku, in Haiku, with only 256MB of RAM and it worked flawlessly, albeit a bit slow. Zhao intends to keep working on the implementation (based on FreeBSD's) to improve it.

Great job by Zhao and one more proof of how the GSoC program is important to opensource projects like Haiku. Congratulations are in order.
