I would say that at least a third of the entire Padre core distribution (in lines of code terms) has been written on Win32.
That's not to say there aren't a ton of bugs, just that if you see a problem on Windows it is definitely a bug and not something caused merely by lack of attention. File tickets against anything you encounter. While the deep internals and all the basic functionality should be pretty reliable, in some cases one particular feature that isn't commonly used (printing might be a good example) might not have been testing on Win32. Again, file tickets and they should get fixed. Tests that exercise those features are even better, because CPAN Testers will complain indefinitely into the future. Of course, test scripts for printing would be rather annoying... (especially if they printed something) Adam K On 25 April 2010 02:09, chm <devel.chm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I just updated to v0.60 (win32/strawberry) and > verified that the REPL plugin still crashes > Padre: if you load the plugin with the manager, > enter $a = 1; in the REPL Evaluate widget...
