Summary

Haiku Inc. recently released new financial reports for 2024, 2023, 2022, 2020, and 2021, including new editions of Haiku R1beta5 and R1beta4. The project has announced new merchandise such as the blog-O-Sphere and a new merchandise line managed by partner Freewear, which is expected to distribute sales portions of Haiku to Haiku Inc. for educational purposes. A new member named PulkoMandys has joined the forum as a reviewer, addressing recent discussions about the Gerrit code review status and the long-awaited disk image management features for DriveSetup. Furthermore, Haiku R1beta5 has been updated to include a new owner, with DriveSetup expected soon to launch a menu for reading and writing disk images to partitions.

These updates are critical for ongoing development, including recent blog posts from PulkoMandy, GSoC 2026 contributor FAQs, and project ideas for 2025. The team frequently releases new bleeding edge versions of Haiku to facilitate testing, while also accepting donations through GitHub Sponsors. Additionally, the organization continues to mentor 5 students in GSoC 2024 and 3 in GSoC 2023, aiming to support Google Summer of Code programs in 2024. The project also hosts weekly contract reports spanning from January 2026 through September 2025, reflecting the latest activity and discussions from the Gerrit code review iceberg episodes.

Furthermore, the group maintains an active Activity hub, Source Activity, and Ticket Updates section, along with a package system for managing tools and a Mailing List for community engagement. Despite the financial updates and new merchandise, Haiku continues to build and release updates specifically for testing purposes, ensuring that the latest version of Haiku remains stable enough for development teams to review and refine.
