Agreed, I was initially under impression that you already had the trunk working on Windows, but I agree that it makes sense to hold off a release until we do. So, as a "mini roadmap" we probably agree that it makes sense to work towards a next release that "works on Windows". > On a side note, there aren't many tests in Celix.

I agree, and maybe it also makes sense to try and setup some continuous build on Jenkins. I have no clue if Jenkins supports C projects, or how other C/C++ projects at Apache approach this, but that might be worth inquiring about. Greetings, Marcel
