Windows build

Any idea when next stable windows build be out ?

ask to KDE windows team...

ask to KDE windows team for kde windows installer version.

digiKam

So there will be no

So there will be no WinInstaller from your site, Gilles? I liked it very much, because it just install what is needed for digiKam. Hope the KDE win installer will be updated in the near future. It's a pity that this excellent software is not yet available on windows in it's full functionality.

Anyway, thank you very much for your great work. I really love the software.

make NSIS installer take a while.

In fact i use my KDE windows installation from my laptop to make NSIS installer.

Currently, I updated my KDE windows to last stable, and all is broken...

Crash on Startup

Thank you! I moved up to 1.8 early because 1.7 was crashing on start up...yeah that didn't help. I am happy to see so many crash on start up bugs fixed. Looking forward to downloading 1.9!

Is this the last version

Is this the last version before 2.0?

yes...

... It's last 1.x version. We are focused to 2.0 now.
