Hi,

I'm happy to announce the availability of 1.4 beta2 at
  http://win-builds.org/web-test/


This version is very close to beta1 and its 60 packages plus the
following fixes:

> - at the end of installation on Windows, libwinpthread.dll must be
>   manually copied from <triplet>/bin/libwinpthread-1.dll to bin/
>   (will be fixed in next update by setting --bindir)

Solved through 'mv'; libtool has no way to honor a 'bindir' in its
install mode.

> - some symlinks for ICU libs are broken

Fixed through small patches to the build system.

> - libarchive is built with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS set to 32

Actually wrong: _FILE_OFFSET_BITS is set to 64 but this is not enough to
get 64 bits sizes in struct stat.
Not patched since issue is a serious and ABI-breaking change which only
upstream can decide how to fix properly. Will be reported there soon.

> - yypkg.exe adapts its UI whether it is started from command-line or not
>   but the detection is not reliable (code to fix is already written)

Fixed through better detection of the parent process.


Main changes left for the release:
- check harfbuzz' dependencies (probably won't change)
- yypkg will also attempt to automatically discover where it is
  installed when run from the command-line (currently the path has to be
  specified)
- yypkg will be able to install from file:// mirrors in addition to
  http:// ones
- installation on cygwin puts spurious end of line markers in paths in
  configuration files


The following notes still apply:
> Note:
> - this version is not compatible with an installation of 1.3; if you
>   wish to install it at the same location as 1.3, simply rename the 1.3
>   installation directory to something else (e.g. append ".bak" to its
>   name)
> - the list of dependencies to install on linux is still partial; input
>   is needed to improve distribution coverage

Adrien Nader
