source and binary incompatible.
- The file system API has changed; file systems that worked on BeOS will no
longer work on Haiku.
-- Haiku is not compatible with the Network kit, nor with BONE. Instead, we have
- both UNIX sockets and a new C++ API.
+- Haiku is binary compatible with the Network Kit in BeOS R5 as well as BONE,
+ ie. the BSD socket API as well as Be's proprietary C++ API.
+ However, the ioctl() interface is not compatible with BONE (BeOS R5 did not
+ have such an interface in the first place).
- In several places we also dropped compatibility support for older BeOS
versions (PR2, R3, R4), which BeOS R5 still featured.
