Neos 9.0 Funding Report

In July 2024, we requested funding to support dedicated and focused work on Neos 9.0, with the goal of advancing toward a stable release. This report provides an overview of our achievements and a breakdown of how the budget was spent.

We also want to thank all our sponsors for the financial support that allowed us to achieve these results within this limited timeframe. :clap:

Beta releases

Over the funding period, we released multiple beta versions, each introducing new features, bug fixes, and enhancements to stability, performance, and overall quality. Detailed information about each release can be found in the release notes and changelogs.

Topics we worked on

To provide a more detailed insight, what we reached with the given funding, we want to provide a list of topics we where working on. For more details, please refer to the linked issues and pull requests. This list represents only a portion of the team’s work on Neos 9 over the past months, as many contributions from volunteers were not connected to this funding request. Additionally, while not every topic on the list was fully funded, each received at least partial support from the provided funding.
