Erik,
The trunk version is a stable version. We on mingw-w64 are using
rolling releases. Which means our trunk is in general stable. New
features are prepared in our experimental tree and first after making
sure that they are stable enough, we merge new features to trunk.
Additionally I would recomment for newer gcc versions then 4.5.x to
use in general trunk version. On trunk we addressed some specific new
features available.
Hi Kai,
Thanks for your information. I'll use the trunk branch from now on. Once
the new packaging guidelines are approved I'll prepare a new set of
packages based on the mingw-w64 trunk branch and publish them in the
testing repositories.
Kind regards,
Erik van Pienbroek
