Hi Tom, thanks for the feedback! I'm glad darcs serves well for you at work. The current version of darcs is probably much better than darcs-1.0.9 for your purposes, but we haven't quite settled on how to build, distribute, and support it.
You mentioned that darcs was "slow". Please tell us what commands you use that are slow. The new darcs may have improved the speed of those commands or not (or it may even have slowed them down). We need to know specifics in order to improve darcs. I think our next steps with regard to Windows and/or Cygwin are: 1. Fix the compile failure on jules apollo darwin: http:// buildbot.darcs.net/waterfall (I don't know why this failure is happening and I am leaving it up to other people to fix it.) 2. As soon as that is fixed, then several of the buildslaves including the Windows buildslave will start uploading their binaries to this directory: https://zooko.com/darcsbuildbot/uploads (The one named zooko_allmydata_virtual2 is the Windows one.) 3. Once these two steps are working right, then I will try to install or configure libcurl on my Windows computer so that the resulting darcs executable has libcurl statically linked in. If that doesn't work I'll figure out a way to bundle a libcurl DLL along with the darcs executable. 4. If you're using darcs on cygwin, you're probably using the bash wrapper script that I maintained for a while, and the bundled putty executables that I bundled. I should probably write a script to put together the darcs executable, putty executables, wrapper script, and docs into that tarball. I wrote such a script once before but I seem to have lost it. Anyway, once we have such a script to build the cygwin bundle tarball, then the buildbot could do so automatically.
