Hi,
I tried to $subject, and ran into small problems.
First, geany_private.rc now includes geany.exe.manifest, but the 1.23.1 bzip lacks this file. Maybe the gzip archive has it, I havent tested. Copying a manifest from the current git works fine. It has the geany version set to 1.24.0.0 though.
"C:\MINGW\BIN\windres.exe: can't open file `geany.exe.manifest': No such file or directory"

Second, both the mail announcement for 1.23.1 and the archive files are dated after May 05, but wscript lacks the code which alters the C compiler detection under Win~1. So waf properly detects msvc on my system, and Geany fails to build. Speaking of which, it'll be a good idea to change the C++ compiler detection as well - I don't think a mix of gcc-compiled Geany sources and msvc-compiled Scintilla will work.
If we don't want to release 1.23.1.1 (or 1.23.2) ASAP, I'll change and test the compiler detection under Win~1 tomorrow.
