No problem for me; I think this is fine and if anyone wants or needs to resurrent project files for earlier versions they can obviously do so (and maintain them). I think that the express edition of VS 2008 is free and will build Qpid on Windows? On a tangent, I plan on looking more closely at the windows build soon. For our release artefacts: 1) do you have anything in mind for production of MSMs and MSIs Steve? I was going to look at creating one with WiX which I have used successfully in the past. 2) For M4 we should look to produce binaries for different platforms I think. I think ideally we should deliver 32 and 64 bit linux binaries and windows 32 and 64 bit binaries. Does anyone have any views on this, and specifically how we could coordinate it? Thanks, Robert
