Windows 95 build 189 is the Beta 1.4 and the earliest leaked build to call itself "Windows 95" instead of "Microsoft Chicago" (though there are still many Chicago references left). It was compiled on the 21st of September 1994. Just like builds 116 and 122, it is visually almost complete and mostly resembles the final product.
The Release Notes (README.TXT) from this build also mentions several older builds, namely build 122, 165, 166 and 170.
