But, there's been a new version. It's called 2.6. It has no official Windows build. You know 2.6b1 is, to all practical effects, identical; I know it, too. But a random prospective user who hits the Bazaar homepage for the first time does not. How hard is (for people used to it and with the building environment already set up) to fire the building process and pack a new release? > Anyway, the commitment to Windows is of no interest to me; Perhaps not to you, but for me, it is because I fear the time when a serious bug raises its ugly head and no one is willing to fix it, or fixes it and nobody bothers to update the Windows binaries. As I said, I like Bazaar much, *much* more than git. But it is hard to shake the feeling that it currently stinks of death. J
