Any idea where or when I can get a snapshot build of this updated code (either a stable build or just a head build)? I don't have the capacity to build Harmony at the moment...
Also just to check - have you added 6.1 as a supported platform or changed to code to run with anything of Windows version 6.1 or above? I ask simply because if anyone builds a product which distributes a Harmony JVM they will find that they have to again notify dev@harmony.apache.org of this, then rebuild and re-release their product just to support new windows platforms which they might otherwise work fine with...?
