Anything that doesn't break the other platforms will be applied (as long as it is a good patch and so on). No special rules for Win32 patches. > Slow download speed.

(And I make new page for fresh synfig > builds: http://atrus.mmaa.ru/synfig/) The download speed on the new page was very fast compared to the old one. I've updated the download page on synfig.com to point to the new ones (and the new page). Some quick comments on the new version: * The icon used in the start menu should be synfig_icon.png instead of sif_icon.png (sif_icon is the icon for *.sif files). * Starting synfigstudio causes a command line to open with debug messages and stuff. This is good for SVN builds, but I think in a release, it shouldn't do that. * synfigstudio isn't relocatable - if you move the install directory somewhere else after installing, then synfigstudio will no longer be able to find the icons. This is something I planned to work on, make synfig/synfigstudio use the win32 (and macos, /proc on linux) functions to find out where it's exe is located and find icons and plugins relative to there. Some errors I noted under wine (ignore them): * The lyr_freetype module causes synfig to crash under wine (but not winxp) * There is a weird error running synfigstudio under wine, but it works fine under windows > But if Paul Wise give me access You to sf.net synfig site, I'll cat > upload it to there. Once we have a stable and working Win32 version, that is what I plan to do. I think that I'd prefer that only released versions were uploaded to sourceforge, for now keep uploading SVN versions to your server. > Also I'm hope to make later a binary patches from one synfig build to > another. Interesting, how do you plan to do this? Using nsis' VPatch or something? PS: Thanks heaps and heaps for this. Do you plan on being the synfig Win32 maintainer for very long? I'd like to post a release status news item and you being the win32 maintainer is an important item for any status message. Also: are you subscribed to this list (synfig-devl)? -- bye, pabs http://wiki.synfig.com/PaulWise
