Thanks, Allin. Maybe it's useful to let general users know that some of the changes mainly concern internals, but that one of the main reasons to switch to GTK3 (instead of 2) is to automatically obtain a "sharper" display of fonts and maybe also icons on modern high-resolution monitors and laptop displays. Have I forgotten other directly user-visible effects?This may be of interest to users of gretl on Windows. There's a new snapshot in place with departs from our "traditional" packages in two main ways: the GUI toolkit is GTK3, not GTK2, and we link against the "new" Microsoft C library, UCRT (which has been supplied with Windows since the first release of Windows 10). Several other components of the package have also been updated.
Side remark: Downloads of the snapshots from sourceforge have been quite slow for me for some time.The snapshot can be found at https://sourceforge.net/projects/gretl/files/snapshots/gretl_install-win64-ucrt.exe
Our plan is to replace the previous 64-bit version of gretl for Windows with this one as of the next release. However, we'd be grateful if people could test it before then and report any problems.
Everything's looking good so far!
thanks
