So this means we're waiting on gtk to make a later windows version? Or on updating geany's windows build scripts to another version of gtk?

We need to make windows builds using a version of GTK newer than 2.16 so we can advance the oldest version we support. But the situation is that the GTK project has few resources for windows problems, and general responses on the GTK MLs have indicated that after version 2.16 there were various problems up until 2.24 when some more resources have resulted in an acknowledged better release. So given the large jump in versions, a build on windows using this later release should be made and tested a bit before it becomes the "official" version. Note Geany uses 2.24 no problems on Linux, but that unfortunately doesn't guarantee no windows problems.

I can't tell you what is actually involved in making the build system change for windows, but as I said it needs to be tested first. Note that for windows there are versions that include GTK with Geany to ensure that the correct version is available and used, the build system for these also needs updating.

I was just wondering if someone was still working on switching the file modified windows to those inline warning windows instead of popups. I just got the popup and closed it before I read what I had done :-)

RTFMessage :-)

Nobody has moved the windows build to a newer version of GTK, so that the oldest supported GTK can be upgraded to the one that supports the non-intrustive notifications. Nobody wants to do the alternative with lots of #ifdefs for one version of GTK.

Oh, as a side note, I thought when I type a number and hit enter on the GOTO field on the toolbar, it would go to the entered line, but it's not. I have to manually hit the Jump To button. I don't see a bug for it on sourceforge, so I guess I'll report it.

Works for me on it version, which are you using?
