I didn't update G-P yet which I would do if we want to use the newer base image version.

Would probably be good.

Will do tomorrow.

Done in geany/geany-plugins#1399.
In case you are going to test it, until this PR is merged, you need the Geany build from this PR and the G-P build from the above mentioned PR (and ignore the Geany build included in the G-P build).

Maybe one dependency you might consider is shared-mime-info - I use it for the macOS build too. It allows to determine the right icon for a file type based on its mime type. This then works e.g. with the file browser plugin (but the result also depends on the used icon theme if it provides corresponding filetype icons).

Alright, I just added it. But as you know, I can't test it :).

The good thing is, I can finally burn down that Windows 7 VM. The only reason for its existance is gone :).

The bad thing is that I would become the only guy around with working Windows, making me "the official Windows tester" ;-)

I don't think so.
Your workload is already big enough I guess.

I think I will finally look for a new Windows maintainer. And until one is found or even if not, the quality of the Windows releases might decrease. IMO this is OK as there are probably more users on the other platforms and maintaining the Windows build isn't that easy due to the nature of this system.

Just wondering, have you tried https://reactos.org/ ? I haven't but if you manage to get it running, it might offer a more usable environment than the old Windows 7.

To save you some time, I just tried it but the default build is 32bit only and doesn't even allow starting the msys2 installer. There seems to be a 64bit nightly version at

https://iso.reactos.org/livecd/

which I haven't tried but I think 64bit is still experimental and possibly not stable.

Ha, noticed the same two hours ago :).
The 64bit variant should not yet be used and even if, it doesn't provide the 32bit compatibility layer and so our 32bit installer can't be used.
At least, the installer works fine on the 32bit variant of ReactOS.

On a side note, in theory we could generate the installer as a 64bit exectuable. Though I didn't find yet a way to also make the included uninstaller 64bit.
