Yeah, I was wondering the same.  I noticed the release in my VM was from
2012, so I checked the website only to find that this is still the latest.

I like the idea of Haiku, but I don't use it nor develop for it. Its POSIX
compatibility seems to be much better than even Cygwin's.  We have had
support for it for a while now and rarely anything has broken on it, so it
doesn't cost much to continue supporting it.  Testing the RC just took an
hour or so of my time.  Plus, it looks good on the list of platforms; it
shows we care about obscure platforms and portability in general ;)

Cheers,
Peter
