I don't have a working computer currently so things slowed down. When I get it repaired, they should pick up again. When this "Beta" testing (which we should really be calling Alpha) ends, a second pass needs to be done, which will be quicker since that will be true QA beta, but it'll still take some time. There are things that need to be done parellel anyway, so that'll be another hold up depending on how long it takes. The release doesn't really depend on the testing solely.
Anyway, when we reach milestones, we'll make sure to report them to the public.
