Hello Arnold, I think the same. It is better to wait a bit longer than to release a version that has some critical bugs. I remember that there was a very serious installation problem in the Alpha 2 release. Therefore may people had to use nightly builds. We should avoid such a catastrophy, especially because it may harm the reputation of the Haiku. One other thing: How about if we release two versions of R1 Alpha 3? Version 1: Haiku R1 Alpha 3 GCC 2 Hybrid Version 2: Haiku R1 Alpha 3 GCC 4 Hybrid with a games package When we look at haikuware.com, games are very popular, for example HOMM 2 is at ranking 1 of the TOP downloads list. We may make Haiku more popular if we have some ready-to-play games in a package. It is not necessary to have many games, but a few nice ones and maybe a few emulators, too. Games are a wonderful way to demonstrate the multimedia features of an operating system. What do you think?
