We released version 0.1.9-1 of libc (Standard Shared Libraries), version 0.7.2-1 of libcx (kLIBC Extension Library), version 1.1.1l-1 of openssl (Utilities from the general purpose cryptography library with TLS implementation), version 8.45-1 of pcre (Perl-compatible regular expression library), version 10.37-1 of pcre2 (Perl-compatible regular expression library)
It is uploaded as rpm to the netlabs rel or exp repository. To install, use either yum or ANPM. If anyone prefers a zip file, those are available at the netlabs rel repo or at the netlabs exp repo.
Non rpm work:
We are making steady progress in stabilizing Chromium.

We estimated in 2018 that we need around 42000 €. But it turns out this estimate was too optimistic. As of today 21.01.2021 the new estimate is 7000 € higher, which means 49000 € in total.
As of 27.09.2021 we collected 47890 €.
