#15728 is a crash of app_server while playing youtube videos. Currently it is
not reproductible because youtube video replay does not work at all anymore.
I suggest moving it to a later release for investigation when youtube is
fixed and we can test it again.
#16304 is about various problems encountered by users while testing
DriveSetup. I have made some minor changes (improved UI labels) and also
moved several pre-existing issues into the beta3 milestones, which it would
be nice to investigate. I plan to look into some of them in the next weeks,
but help is always welcome
#16744 is a regression due to the work on packagefs to allow resuming
interrupted downloads. Stippi has been working on this and I think the
remaining part of his changes can be merged soon and should fix the issues
around packagefs for good.
Another thing to take care of is #16751. Currently Haiku uses ICU 57, but new
WebKit releases use ICU 66. If we don't update our built-in version of ICU,
we would have to ship the 32bit version with 3 different versions: ICU 57 for
gcc2, ICU 57 for gcc8, and ICU 66 for gcc8. This would result in an increase
of disk usage that I'd rather avoid. This issue also includes an update of
the Noto font, needed for exampel to get the backspace key to be visible in
Keymap preferences.
Is there anything else that should be included in beta3? If not, I think we
should start thinking about a plan for releasing it in the next months. The
original target date was late february (I picked this arbitrarily when
creating the milestone). If that seems a bit too close, I think we can delay
it to sometime in march?
