Lazyness. If we would provide 64bit binaries we probably would have to provide 32bit binaries as well. As long as there are no issues (compability, performance, dependencies, whatever) with using 32bit binaries on 64bit platforms, I'd like to keep it this way. Or anyone else steps up to provide the Windows release support. >> - The known slow webkit plugin loading issue, it took 30-60 seconds here Too bad, for me it felt faster but obviously not. >> - In the installer for GP, the "configure components" page, the >> description for Dependencies checkbox is very long and the window isn't >> resizable so the text gets cut off. Yes, known issue (exists for multiple releases already) but I don't know a solution. Maybe this gets better when upgrading to NSIS 3.x. > Oh also, and this will probably be done before release anyway, but the > copyright date is still 2016 on the installer .exes and the geany.exe > when you look in the Properties->Details tab in Windows. Thanks for the pointer, fixed.
