antiX has been in development since June 16

 Just a quick note to remind myself that antiX 25 opened Alpha 1 testing on June 16.  As I wrote in my previous entry, this release has been in the planning stages for over a year.

antiX 25 Beta 2

I don't know if antiX 25 is going to make it to the final release while it's still 2025, but it has been a very good testing cycle during the antiX 25 development cycle.

The work really began about a year ago when anticapitalista, the founder of antiX, asked the community what they wanted to see in a new release.

A few months back we had a very early Alpha 1 release; that had minimal functionality, but showed the potential for the release.  On November 4 we got the Beta 1 build and we tested it for close to a month.

Just over a week ago on December 17 we got the announcement of Beta 2.  It's starting to look good, but we probably should have another test release, whether we start having Release Candidates or a Beta 3 is a matter of both function and semantics, but with this excellent software I expect a Beta 3; unfortunately based on the length of time it's taken, it'll be January before another release, and maybe a few more months until we're ready to release, but like REALLY good software, it'll be done when it's ready and I'm very willing to wait, and help test along the way!

I'll refer to it as antiX 26; not sure if that's what we'll end up calling it.
