Why aren't they issuing updates on the hardware itself? Their website says they will begin shipping preorders in Q3 2019 - so they have about 40 days before they miss that (unless they're already shipping and we haven't heard about it, but I suspect the day the first device goes in the mail they'll announce it)

Is anyone concerned about timescale here?

"We have worked on a few recent main efforts on Calls: adding a calls history, allowing the Contacts app to dial numbers, and enabling the system to receive calls when the shell is locked."

Call History, dialing from Contacts and receiving calls when locked seem like really, really low-hanging fruit. For this to be the stage of development worries me. I'm not saying they will take the money and run, they've got an impressive record on delivering, but I don't know about "We are preparing everything for the Librem 5 to be delivered soon"

Looks good, but I think the "people" icons need a little more work (these seem to be the most difficult icons to get right).
