Proiectului Haiku a luat decizia de a amana lansarea R1 / Beta3 cu o saptamana.

Coordonatorul lansarii Proiectului Haiku pentru lansarea R1 / Beta3, kallisti5, a luat decizia de a reveni la lansarea R1 / Beta3 cu o saptamâna. Versiunea Beta3 introduce o actualizare importanta pentru Haiku WebKit, care produce ulterior unele regresii de redare.

În timp ce câteva dintre erorile au fost deja remediate in Haiku WebKit saptamâna aceasta, ramâne o eroare finala, care implica o problema cu textul care dispare.

Având in vedere progresele realizate de dezvoltatorii care au lucrat pe WebKit si WebPositive in ultima saptamâna, versiunea a fost impinsa cu o saptamâna pentru a le oferi timp suplimentar pentru a remedia problema.

Este posibil ca actualizarile Haiku WebKit sa fie publicate dupa lansare, totusi este o prioritate a Proiectului Haiku sa se asigure ca experienta de navigare in Haiku este cât mai buna, mai ales având in vedere ca browserele web sunt o parte importanta a orice sistem de operare si ca WebPositive este un punct principal de interes pentru recenzori.
