As usual, thanks @waddlesplash for the thorough report.

Regarding Beta 4, is there any date set for the release preparation process? Custom Query – Haiku still lists a couple of dozens of tickets associated with it; even after moving some of them to the next version, I assume, there would still be issues to address before releasing the next Beta. Beta 3 was released on July 21, and Beta 2 - on June 20, so would it be possible to follow the one-year release cycle with Beta 4, or should we expect Beta 4 to be moved further to, say, the end of summer or autumn?

Thanks to all the work done this month, also a warm welcome to the new contributors!
On a sidenote, thanks for mentioning haikuports, a lot of things still need some work, but also in that part we’ve seen some new (familiar) faces around, a big thanks to those as well!

The betas are done mostly in a “when it’s ready” way. There are a few high priority/blocker tickets and it would be embarrassing to ship the release with these still in. Once we have solved these, we can set up the timeline for the release sprint, which I thinkeis usually 1 or 2 months (call for translations, userguide update, qa tests, etc)

Thanks for the update. How much money is left in the bag ? Is it possible to pay you a second year of salary working on Haiku?
