Thanks a lot for the info, Martell! No, I'm not in urgent need. I'm still at mingw-w64 with gcc 4.6.3 (rubenvb personal builds, although I built his source on my own for my MacOS builds). I plan to update to a newer mingw-w64 sometime this summer, or in early fall, so I'll wait. I'm expecting I'll have to build the source myself for using it from MacOS (as I did with rubenvb's tree), so, when I do it, it's going to be an effort of several days -or even a week-, and I don't want to do that in a hurry, I prefer to do it with time enough. I can wait. What would be the best site for knowing the latest info about the current status? Your github page?
