Hi Jani, adding MinGW 64 bit sounds great. I would prefer to keep the MinGW 32 bit ones too, because there are several projects which are plugins to host applications in 32 bit. So sometimes its not in the scope of the developer to change his project to 64 bit. Please keep that in mind. I personally use MSVC2017 together with MSVC2015 32 bit binaries for the published product. But I regularly use MinGW for daily development. Other people might prefer MinGW over MSVC for published products though. So 32 bit software projects are still very common on Windows platforms. Cheers R.
