Well, something is happening. It is only slightly more than one month ago
since an alpha was released. It has never been any secret that Voyager
development is being done in the team's sparetime, because the Amiga market
simply isn't viable to base a life on browser development for the Amiga.

What is "fully functional"? If you expect Java support and the like, then
forget about it. With a bit of luck we will have a reasonably
well-functioning JavaScript support. Don't expect miracles on this
platform.
If you do expect such miracles, then you must be stupid. This platform has
been close to dead for many years now, and many released products reflect
this.
I know that I one day will have to abandon my classic Amiga because it will
be too way behind other platforms. At the moment I can live with the
current state of the Amiga software in comparison to software for other
platforms, but some day I will abandon my Amiga for another platform.
Perhaps it is time for you to abandon this platform now if you can't
accept the current state of software development.
