Hi,

I've built new Windows installers from current GIT master.

Downloads can be found here:
http://download.geany.org/snapshots/

Please note that these are test builds from the current development
version, don't expect release quality.
You have been warned :).

After you installed the snapshots, you can also use the nightly
builds again on Windows (i.e. copy the archive contents over the
installation).

Any feedback is welcome.

Hi Enrico,

seems to be working fine here.

One idea: wouldn't it be good to package the grep binary to the installer (and if possible somehow set the preferences to the location where it was installed) so find in files works out of the box? Right now the message you get when trying to use find in files is:

search_find_in_files: spawn_with_callbacks() failed: CreateProcess() failed: The system cannot find the file specified.

which isn't the most user-friendly message and I guess many people will interpret it as "find in files doesn't work on Windows".

Cheers,

Jiri
