To be fair, it is still only for POSIX-y systems. Not cross platform in the conventional sense.

#102I think htop and lua are probably the two main Brazilian contributions to the open source community.
Apropos of nothing: does country of origin (or is it residence; or residence of the main contributors) tell us anything that is at all useful?
It seems like information - the sort people go 'oh really, how fascinating' to - but I can't really see how it's relevant.
Anyone want to chip in and make a stand for national identity or anything?
To me it's kinda like you said 'find and grep are the two main contributions to OSS from the flan-eating community'.
Yes, I should probably just keep such thoughts to myself ...
Oh and htop is awesome! Only used Lua on a Minecraft mod (and an not a programmer/CS) so can't really comment on it.

#103Earlier quoted context omitted.
Haha everyone used to mock MS because cross platform to them meant Win16 AND Win32. Now we use it to mean various flavours of Linux. Progress?
I'm pretty sure it worked on most Linux distros and even on mac. I don't see how it's big news. That's not progress, it's just faulty marketing.
Mainline htop never worked on OSX. OSX's htop is a fork of 0.8.2 with all the linux stuff stripped out and replaced, and then not really updated (let alone resynced with mainline): https://github.com/AndyA/htop-osx

I think it's cool to see how these things are spreading round the world, and it's not just the US that creates useful software.

#105My biggest feature request is better search workflow (perhaps like Vim, instead of having to press F3) and ability to filtering/grep the list of processes when searching.
I am installing version 2.0 on my laptop to see if search has changed.

#106Awesome! Installing htop is the first thing I do on my *nix systems. The update is still not up on Homebrew, shouldn't take long though.
Perhaps you're referring to Linuxbrew - "a fork of Homebrew, the Mac OS package manager, for Linux."
It exposes the same repository as its OSX counterpart, with linux-flavoured customisations where necessary.
From feature list at http://linuxbrew.sh/
- Can install software to a home directory and so does not require sudo
- Install software not packaged by the native distribution
- Install up-to-date versions of software when the native distribution is old
- Use the same package manager to manage both your Mac and Linux machines

#107Wouldn't braille characters also make nicer progress bars? I think they look more dense then a bunch of ||||
Braille characters, or just colons and full stops? [::::::::.... ] [::::::::::...... ] Could you give an example of the braille characters being used in this way?
I was just thinking that using braille characters would fill more area on the screen. In particular, | characters look very thin. A bunch of widely spaced green bars |||| is functional but not very appealing.

It's just a little point of interest. I don't often think about my life intersecting with the nation off of Brazil, yet I use htop every day. Now I'll probably cast my mind to a Brazilian rainforest when I do. Just makes the world a slightly more interesting place.

#109still no vi keybindings?

#110http://drunken-security.at/is-it-a-good-idea-to-show-everybo... has a live htop background :-)
We are pleased that you "stole" our idea :) Is it ok to steal back the gif? Because i think the server load is a bit to much with so many background reloads.
sure! that's the spirit of free software :)
