Hi, The third release candidate for Win-builds 1.5 is now available.
Win-builds is a fully-free and open-source, fully-bootstrapped and multi-platform project which provides compilers, libraries and tools for Windows along with cross-compilers from Linux (or any system with a GNU userspace). The 1.5 version greatly improves setup on both Windows and Linux. On Linux installation has been simplified down to cloning 4 git repositories and running make. On Windows, a graphical installer is provided and installation is completely usecase-agnostic: msys*, cygwin, IDEs, or bare cmd.exe. The compatibility for Linux versions has been maintained back to Ubuntu 12.04 and Debian squeeze (oldstable) although with a few known restrictions. On Windows, the compatibility goal is >= Vista (it should still work on XP but it can't be officially supported anymore). Documentation has been updated for 1.5 and thanks to the improved ease-of-use, is noticeably shorter (writing less doc was the actual motivation behind these changes :) ). There are several new packages and many updates. The link to the full list is given in the links at the end of this message. In RC3, all the available security updates have been applied. Moreover, installation on Linux is now twice as fast since the build of Qt has been stripped down. This should be the last candidate before the 1.5.0 release and is now the version advertised on the website. The install steps for 1.4 (i.e. the previous release) are going to be changed since some choices were poor. The documentation will be updated accordingly. Special thanks to #RERB for all the time it gives when it comes to writing announces.
