I thought about trying to compilefrom source, but after looking at the mingw page was too intimidated by figuring out what to download to try compilingsource. We generally don't worry about point releases too much unless there's a pretty serious bug, so it'll probably take a while. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone building nightly binaries. This is something we should think about doing, especially for windows... -- Jim C.

If the bug is serious enough to warrant cutting a generally distributed binary for, it's worth making a release for, IMNSHO. The Windows packaging team usually follow up a release with a package very quickly indeed. cheers andrew

If there was a nightly build, the bug reporter could use that for development until an official release came out. The only reason I even suggested this is because setting up a windows build environment is substantially more complicated than building on unix. If he was on unix, he could easily just cvs up on the appropriate branch and build it himself. -- Jim C.
