I do think there is one more beta (9) followed by a release. The current beta is very good, however there are small minor bugs running around.

Considering that they haven’t finished implementing the compile features, I think that’s overly optimistic. Once it’s feature-complete, I wouldn’t expect fewer than 3 beta releases as bugs in the compile process are revealed through real-world testing.

What feature(s) don’t work in Compile? What I’ve tested seems to work so far.

Does nobody read release notes anymore? They don’t specify which exact pieces aren’t wired up yet, but they do specifically call it out: From [url]Scrivener 3.0 Beta - Release Candidate 10 (Download Links & Change List)] :

Known Issues
We are still implementing features and ironing out bugs, so you should expect to find things that aren’t working quite as intended. A few issues to be aware of in the current 2.9.0.8 beta:

The editor zoom is applying separately to single text documents and Scrivenings mode, although the footer will remain displaying the last set zoom.
Rearranging custom metadata fields in Project Settings when some are set to display as columns in the Outliner can affect which columns are shown.
Page View is only partially implemented and not recommended for use. Documents that are loaded in Page View continue to load with a Page-View appearance in Wrap to Editor mode unless they are loaded in the editor when toggling off Page View. (To fix this for a document, toggle View > Text Editing > Page View back on and then off again while the document is open in the focussed editor.)
A writing-direction flag appears on the cursor within any paragraph containing auto-corrected characters. (This is a bug in the Qt upgrade’s increased bi-directional support for which we have not yet found a workaround.)
Titles are not editable in the editor header while in Scrivenings mode. They can however be updated in the inspector, binder, or, if View > Text Editing > Show Titles in Scrivenings is enabled, directly in the editor and the change will be reflected in the header.
“View page source” on imported webpages is not working with the current Qt version.
Though we have the interface set up for the new compiler, it is not yet fully functional.
Project templates have not yet been updated for 3.0, so are not taking advantage of new features and may have some outdated content.
