Haiku Activity and Contract Report, April 2024

This report covers hrev57680 through hrev57719.

waddlesplash fixed a syntax error in the quicktour script, which is used when double-clicking the “Quick Tour” desktop icon on first boots. He also dropped some code for legacy FFmpeg support, and re-enabled multi-threaded decoding, which had been lost in an earlier refactor, which waddlesplash cleaned up a bit in a later commit. Inside L2CAP, the l2cap_address module received a lot of cleanup and a few bugfixes, while the rest of the component was more or less completely rewritten, with an all-new state management system (merging earlier disparate ones split across multiple components), locking strategy (the old one was practically nonexistent and woefully unsafe), receive path (much less convoluted), send path (some more work still needed here, however, around queuing), and more.
