Many thanks to all involved for the hard bug-fixing work! (If you keep up this pace of releasing, I will have to give up thanking you every time ;-)
With respect to the win32 version: I've just noticed the first binary ...setup_v1.exe, but in contrast to v1.3.7 I could not find (or have overlooked) any mention of alternative (aka Uwe's) installers. Could somebody give me/us a status update on which installers are/will be available, please?
