Right now there is not a "working" version. However, we are within days of releasing gerbv-2.1.0 for Linux. I assume that we will spin a Windows version shortly after that. IIRC, your usability issue had to do with very slow rendering, correct? If that's the case, here are some notes: * I believe the guy doing the Windows binary is compiling against Cairo-1.6 this time, so your problems might be solved by this newer version of Cairo. * For some people gerbv runs just fine under Windows. For others, it is as slow as molassas on a winter day in Vermont. This may have to do with driver and/or chipset issues. We would be interested in hearing about your video chipset if you were indeed experiencing slow rendering.
