Re: [Gretl-devel] observations limit

I understand that current GTK contains a workaround that may fix
this issue. The trouble is that GTK 2.8 and higher depend on cairo
and don't run on win9X -- so gretl currently uses the GTK 2.6
runtime. I think there are still people using gretl on win98, and
I'm reluctant to try supporting two Windows packages for gretl.
Well, of course it is impossible to support two different Windows packages.
But on the other hand, improvements of gretl can not be halted just to
maintain support for obsolete operating systems.
I suggest that gretl 1.6.x continues to use the GTK 2.6 runtime, but that
gretl 1.7.x changes to a later version of GTK (I think that GTK 2.10 is the
latest version). And thus that gretl from version 1.7.x on no longer
supports win9x.
