<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>Hi
all,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN
class=015544420-11042008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>I made another
windows pre-release build for testings:</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN
class=015544420-11042008></SPAN></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>1. the help
section still doesn't work. I'm quite sure that it's not a *package* or *build*
problem, but only a source code error. Also Jürgen had this problem on his MSVC
build. It's strange, because on 0.92rc1 help section worked
fine!</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>2. while in the
last 0.92rc1 windows package the python plugins didn't work, now I figured out
how to let them work in a self-contained package. Only the mapserver plugin
seems to report errors, but I'm quite sure that they don't depend on missing
python files in the package, but that they are generated by errors in python
source code.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>3. I made a big
work on packaging. Instead of *following* the previous release *architecture*, I
preferred to package the files tracing all the system calls, thus including
the really needed files only. That resulted in a package with approx the
same *weight* of the previous ones, even if I added more that 13 MB of python
files (not previously included, but needed to let python plugins
work).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>4. this release is
based on rev8336; but changes is still on the way (for example, Jürgen Fischer
an I are working on some improvements on GRASS toolbox).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN class=015544420-11042008>5. the installer
still needs some improvements, maybe, but it already does its work, and install
all the files correctly, registry keys and (optional) sample dataset inlcuded.
Feel free to report suggestions on it.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

now, the installer: <A
