Nice progress, for sure.  :-)

> the infamous Windows-version

A year or so ago I ported Rawstudio using a pure cygwin environment.
Worked, though there were some obscure package dependencies which I
unfortunately neglected to keep notes on.  And then the result was
trapped in cygwin's "chroot-like" environment, which is pretty much
useless if you want a native windows app.

Recently I started the process again, and I suspect that cygwin will
not work so well this time around, due to growth in the program and
that dreaded chroot jail.  [All of cygwin's pre-built packages like gconf
and the various graphics format libraries presumably are subject to the
same limitation.]

A better approach might be to use the wireshark model, where selected
tools from cygwin are employed, but the overall build uses a (very!)
different compiler:

If I have some free time over the holidays, I may continue my efforts.
But I'm by no means any sort of expert on gtk, windows or otherwise.
So I mention this in case somebody else feels inspired.  :-)

Thanks for all your work on Rawstudio!

regards, Eric

Subject: [Rawstudio-dev] Happy holidays 2007!

Hi,

Another year has almost passed. After nearly two years Rawstudio is still in 
rapid development and everyone involved is still passionate about it!

In many ways is has been a fantastic year for Rawstudio. The press has started 
to notice Rawstudio, and we even got a nice Wikipedia article.
We are very happy about the attention, it allows us to concentrate more about 
developing good software, and less on attracting developers.

Many features were added in 2007. Now we have kick-ass batch processing, in the 
development trunk we got a fancy preloader for fast switching between photos, 
we utilizes multi-core cpu's and finally we got the long awaited demosaic and 
full resolution workflow!

One thing that is still missing thou, the infamous Windows-version. We would 
really like to have a installable version of Rawstudio for Windows. We need 
someone with experience with GTK+ on Windows.

Let's make 2008 the year where we finally break the 1.0-barrier! If we work 
hard for it, we can have it ready and released before summer.

Thanks to everybody who has contributed in any way. We wish you and your family 
a happy holiday and a fantastic 2008.

See you all at Libre Graphics Meeting 2008 in Wrocław!

Anders Brander & Anders Kvist
