When the '[Love Campaign](http://love.travis-ci.org)' was launched back in February we didn't have a goal in mind with how much we wanted, or needed, to raise. The general idea was simple, the more we raised the more we could work without having to worry about where rent money came from.

The first couple of days of donations were insane, with the majority of all the money raised coming within the first 24 hours of us opening the door. It was amazing and very humbling to know that the community was behind Travis and also behind us.

The one thing we did not anticipate or plan for well was the time needed to ship all the swag and personal notes to all the donators. In fact, to say we were running behind was an understatement. Even the personal note took longer than we expected due to the love we put into it. For example, for all donators of $35 or more we needed to sort out the following:

- A wax seal of the Travis T (we even included some special words surrounding the T)

- Lots and lots of wax, including a special wax gun! (we did not even know they made them)

- A specially designed Love Certificate, and lots of them

Apart from sending out swag we also promised to add some awesome new features to Travis. These included:

- Build artifacts
* Support for more languages
* Pre-tested pull-requests
* Private build support

So far we have delivered the first two of these. With the help of the community and Michael Klishin we have added support for [Perl](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/perl/), [Python](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/python/), [Java](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/java/), [Clojure](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/clojure/), [Scala](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/scala/), and [Haskell](http://about.travis-ci.org/docs/user/languages/haskell/)

Also, we have implemented support for [pre-tested pull-requests](http://about.travis-ci.org/blog/announcing-pull-request-support/), which has taken the community by storm. We are currently still unlocking accounts for donors before we will finally release the feature into the wild. So, if you would like to use it for your projects please shoot us an email.

We are also in the middle of completing private build support, which will be released as a product currently codenamed "Travis Pro - Magnum". We have had a few handpicked users running builds on a alpha-stage system for quite a while, but we still need to put more work into it before we can add more users.
