What is not working? ==================== * Scheme support * Priority adjustment of the threads * Browser integration (go to URL from Beast)
Isn't tihs something that should be fairly easily doable given standard windows APIs? I'd expect google to tunr up something quickly...
* Size optimization of the installed version of Beast (right now C:\beast contains Mingw, MSys, ActivePerl, and some of the stuff is compiled with -g) * Relocatabilty (beast will not work unless installed in C:\beast) * probably something I've forgotten Note that this is an SVN snapshot build which already claims to be 0.7.2, so there are no guarantees whether the files produced by this windows version of beast work on any other beast.
Hm, what are the chances of releaseing ALPHA 0.7.2 win32 packages (ZIP) of beast once the real 0.7.2 is out? Relocatability, scheme support, etc aren't too bad for an alpha release (I'd recon the browser URLs have to work though, to lead on people when they have trouble).
