The experiment with the vcredist packages did not go so well, and I have decided to take an alternate route for the pending 0.8 release. I'm going to stick with mingw32 for building the C extensions for Mercurial, as we've done for every TortoiseHg release thus far. I will use VisualStudio 2005 SP1 to build the x86 and x64 shell extensions as planned (this is how they've been built since we started to support x64 a week or so ago). However instead of including the vcredist packages in our installer, I've decided to simply statically link the shell extension DLLs instead. I think this adds the minimum number of variables from the 0.7 release and doesn't bloat the installer any more than necessary.
Except for potential translation improvements, I expect tonight's nightly build to be essentially 0.8. So please let me know if you have any problems with it. -- Steve Borho PS: If you installed the 090628 nightly, it most likely left vcredist_*.exe packages in your install directory. Feel free to delete them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Tortoisehg-develop mailing list Tortoisehg-develop@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/tortoisehg-develop
