This is awesome news!

I hope to test the MSI installers as soon as they are available.

For me, the main issue I have with Meld on windows is that there are
quite a few graphical glitches when you scroll the file views quickly
(using the scrollbar). I have not experienced this same problem on
Linux so I guess it is specific to the Windows builds.

Cheers,
