That's a good question, I am not sure. MinGW has the big advantage that you can cross-compile from GNU/Linux or Mac OS X. I am also quite close to getting configure.ac and makefile.in working on MinGW, so that means one build system for all platforms. (I have Pd compiling with configure.ac and makefile.in, but the portaudio stuff doesn't work yet).

MSVC is most likely a fair amount better at optimizing for Windows. Anyone have any test patches for this?

Quick question - how does mingw compare with MSVC in terms of run-time efficiency? If it's comparable I should switch over...

This is a big Windows release, and a bugfix release for GNU/Linux and Mac OS X.

What's new:

• The Windows release is now compiled with MinGW and has all of the

same patches to the core as the other two.

• Preliminary international character support. It seems to work fine

in comments, not yet in objects and messages.
