It's that day of May, that day you marked on your calendar. Haiku Alpha 2 is now available to everyone out there who've been waiting to get their hands (little or otherwise) on it. Eight months after Alpha 1 was released comes Alpha 2 with some important improvements, namely:

• WiFi support with WEP encryption introduced
• WebPositive - a native Webkit based browser
• New Locale Kit allows localization/translation
• Improved USB mass storage performance
• ACPI enabled by default
• Bash command-line shell updated to version 4.x
• Message Signal Interrupts (MSI)
• Increased POSIX compliance
• Increased performance

Of course that's not all there is to Alpha 2 and you can read even more from the release notes. What am I saying... first start your download and then read the release notes. What are you waiting for? Click away and get your groove on.

Congratulations to everyone involved, you deserve it.
