Re: [birt-dev] Things are moving!

I downloaded the eclipse4.9-20211127 from your link [1]: 
* the windows version ran the sample hello_world.rptdesign OK but took a loooong time to start up (on Windows 10). I will try with a real report later.
* the mac version seems to be corrupted, I downloaded it twice but it won’t run. Mac OS 11.6.1 says the app is damaged. birt.ini says:

-startup

../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.6.300.v20210813-1054.jar

--launcher.library

../Eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.2.300.v20210828-0802

-vmargs

-Xms512m

-Xmx1024m

-XstartOnFirstThread

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts


I hope the reference to carbon is only fonts.
Regards,
Colin

Here is a quick status report from the trenches!

Claes Rosell stepped in two weeks ago and he is on a roll! Amongst many other things, Claes fixed the report designer preview issue and made BIRT 4.9.0 available for all platforms.
Freshly baked BIRT downloads are available for you to try [1] [2]
If you ask me, all of these are release candidates. Yes, that's right, release candidates! Thank you, Claes Rosell! 🙏

## Discussions
The discussions are starting to take off as well. This is where you, as a BIRT USER, can help. If you see a question that you can answer, please chip in [3].
The old forum is still very popular for people SEEKING answers, but there is nobody to actually answer [4].

## Special thanks 
* to Henning Von Bargen 🙏 , Andrej, Steve Schafer and patric-r for testing! (Talking about testing, we added a whopping 423 report engine unit tests.)
* to Ed Merks and Alexander Fedorov for polishing the installer. It works great. Thanks, Collin Sutton for testing.
* to Christophe Loetz for working on the website [5] We can use help here as well to convert content from the old to the new site.
* to Alexander Fedorov 🙏 for support and reviews.

(Next time, make sure your name is here too! ;)

## Statistics

To the BIRTmobile, let's go!
