Hello,

for years, I've used mingw-builds ([1], [2]) happily as a default gcc toolchain 
of my choice
on Windows hosts. However I can see there are no new builds for many months 
although
there were some gcc releases (6.1, 5.4) in the mean time. That makes me 
wondering about
its current status.

[2]: 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/

Is it still maintained or should I migrate to another build line?

Generally, I prefer a self-contained single archive package over large any 
"nested OS solutions"
like cygwin or MSYS2 or some installers with unclear impact on the system. So 
if the mingw-w64
is dead, which other personal builds are more or less similar to mingw-builds 
and can be expected
to be supported in a longer term and recommended for such a conservative man 
like me?

(I only care about C and C++, preferably with win32 exception model, but size 
of the
package generally is no big concern.)

Thanks for any enlightenment.
Martin
