Hi all,

in preparation of the upcoming release, I renewed the test installers:

There is still the ugly Adwaita theme.
I didn't and I won't play with themes. If someone wants a specific
alternative theme included and enabled and there is some general
agreement, I'm fine with it.

But I noticed a new bug:
with each start of Geany, the messages window will be shown a little
lower and at some point it is finally hidden because its position is at
or below the status bar.
No idea what is causing this, GTK3 is always surprising as it seems.

We should decide soon whether we want to use GTK2 or GTK3 based Windows
release binaries.

I would say that if there aren't any advantages of the GTK3 build (and in contrary, there seem to be some issues), it's better to stick with GTK2.

Similarly I'll make GTK2 binaries for the macOS version for the upcoming release too. There are still bugs in GTK3 which make the resulting binary annoying to use (Scintilla scrollbars not updated correctly, menus selectable by mouse only when entered from the bottom - not when the mouse enters the menu from the top).

Cheers,

Jiri
