Hello Haikuvians,
Well, we had planned to release an R1/beta2 in the fall of last year,
but for one reason and another, that never happened. But things have
changed in the past few months; a lot of long-standing, annoying
issues have finally been resolved (e.g. USB3 booting), and so we have
now established a genuine schedule for R1/beta2 [1] which ends in
releasing on May 31 (or thereabouts.)
There is one blocking issue in the R1/beta2 milestone with an
already-existing patch, and a few other blocking issues elsewhere
(OpenSSL rebuilds) that have fixes already in progress.
I'll be serving as Release Coordinator again, with nielx as my
"understudy" of sorts. Stay tuned for the RCs and testing phases to
being according to the schedule.
Any objections, please speak now or forever hold your peace :)
