Problems with the daily TinderBox builds took the better part of two weeks to get the initial commit for this issue tested. I had to ask to have it pushed down on the -3-6 build for testing because there has not been a viable Windows build of master complete in close to a month, Tinderbox 16 does not count as it is a minimal build. Seems that if we are going to solicit more testing and bug reporting against the Windows builds of master the MSVC and MinGW TinderBoxes need to be more closely monitored and assistance rendered to assure viable testing can occur. Stuart </blockquote></div> Either way, this have to be addressed ASAP. I need the 3.6 series for accessibility tests with Freedom Scientific JAWS and others. The testing is related to usage scenarios for members of the Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted, so it's important. -- Olav Dahlum PGP key ID: 0xA6BD1795
