Still it requires additional work. It's not that I explicitly ignored it, just put the main focus on G-P in general to get it working. Unfortunately, for 1.27 there is no time left. > generate a new installer from upstream and host/link it on geany.org > releases page? Sure. Or just contribute to the missing bits to G-P. Not that it is new that we are running out of time with Windows stuff close to a release. This is partly my bad but I also never cried to be only one to care for Windows releases...
