As always, thank you for your work on this. I have been hoping for a while that you, or someone else, would get the official builds going again, so please keep at it :) Unfortunately, there are still a few bugs in the windows and mac backends that have keep me from switching my project to Gtk

It's very discouraging to see every one trying to step up and take part of that being turned down. Its not just happening with the windows port, patches for the linux are being ignored also. this is an open source, under-funded, under-manned project. if you want to change that, then finding

Hi Andy, I think it would be useful to continue to provide installers If we just provide official .zip archives, for the .exe being available somewhere else (even on a personal blog e.g.) would be quite confusing. I bet some people will use it and start complaining to GTK core even if it's

OK, as a majority of people seem to be interested, here is what I will do : 1) Produce binaries of following GTK+3 versions : - 3.4.1 stable (http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libgtk-3-0, Debian Wheezy provides 3.4.2 so we are safe) ; - 3.6.4 development (last one). 2) Package them as .zip

hi; you're operating under a bit of a misunderstanding, so I hope I can clarify it for you: there is no way, for any of the people listed on the website, to stop or prevent other developers to work on GTK on different platforms. you also don't need any validation from any of the people on that
