Hi Arjen: Note the changed subject line. Thanks for that feedback, and good luck in debugging that segfault. My principle concern right now is adjusting the timing of the release, but from what you said above, it looks like you can be fairly flexible about that. Therefore, I will just go ahead and adjust that timing for my own needs, but I will try to keep everybody here well informed as I narrow down that timing so nobody gets surprised when that actual release happens. By the way, once I figure out the required build system tweaks so I obtain a good comprehensive test result on MinGW/MSYS/Wine, (probably a number of days from now since Wine is so slow) I hope you will still have some time/energy left to confirm that result on your own MinGW/MSYS Windows platform.
