Bret, Thanks for your feedback, you are raising a valid concern. Let me explain why this happens this way.
ISPC is an open source project. It's backed by Intel, but it's *not an Intel product*. So it shouldn't matter much if maintainers operate from @gmail.com or @ intel.com email address, as long as they maintain the project. When I started working on this project, I had to make a choice which email address to use and strong argument for @gmail.com address was that most of the people in open source community use gmail and hate the way Outlook formatting looks in gmail (AFAIK this concern was raises in gcc and llvm communities). So I decided to stick to gmail mailbox. Since that time this formatting issue became far less noticeable, so probably it's good time to reconsider this decision. The reason for using Google Drive - it's just much handy for me and for release candidate I consider it to be just good enough. Official release will be hosted on regular SourceForge site, as usual. And of course, you always have an option to build ISPC yourself, if you prefer. Pre-built binaries is just a convenience feature. Have you had a chance to try release candidate? Does it work well for your code? Dmitry.
