Hi,
I'm afraid we need to remove the Webkit-related plugins (Webhelper,
Markdown Preview) from the Windows installer.
This is because Webkit itself is going to be removed from MSYS2:
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/4318
For the upcoming release we could ship the previous version of Webkit
along with the locally cached old version of ICU (i.e. we will ship ICU
61 *and* 62 in the installer).
But I personally would prefer removing the plugins from the Windows
installer immediately for the reasons mentioned in
https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/issues/4318#issuecomment-436443226
and to prevent us from shipping two ICU versions which bloats the
Windows installer even more.
If there are no objections, I will remove all Webkit-related settings
from the Windows installer next week.
Hi,
It would be nice to keep these plugins as long as practical, but I don't
feel strongly about it.
OK, we keep the plugins in the 1.34 release, at least.
For future releases, I still would like to get rid of it if there is no
progress on MSYS2 regarding Webkit.
JFTR:
We kept the plugins until including 1.37 and now is three years later.
But now with the fresh Geany-Plugins 1.38 and the switch to x86_64 and
GTK3, there is no way to keep those plugins running as there is no
WebkitGTK library available for Windows/MSYS2.
Regards,
Enrico
