Haiku’s latest activity report, more RISC-V news, and a small delay for beta 3

A random collection of Haiku news today - starting with the latest activity report. With the release of beta 3 creeping every closer, there's a lot to report in this one, from improving POSIX support, to improvements to the Intel video driver, to work on the bootloader, and a lot more.

Secondly, there's news on the RISC-V front. Two months ago, a lot of progress was made on porting Haiku to RISC-V, and earlier this month, the Haiku project decided to really support this effort by buying RISC-V hardware and donating it to the developer in question. The HiFive Unmatched board has made its way to the developer by now, so expect a lot more progress on this front in the future.

Lastly, the project has decided to push back the release of beta 3 by one week. There's one remaining nasty bug in the WebKit port, and since the team wants to make sure the browsing experience is the best it can be, they've decided to give the developers a bit more time to iron out this final bug.
