I have decided to stop releasing and distributing Windows binaries of Gnumeric.
The main reason is that I am uncomfortable with crash reports I see --
crashes that are unlikely to be the fault of Gnumeric, but rather
something in Gtk+ and lower. I haven't observed these crashes myself
(not that I use the Windows builds much) thus making it very hard for
me to debug.
A side reason is that no-one in the Windows world has ever stepped
forward with skill and time. I really have very little out of
creating these binaries, so unless it mostly can take care of itself
then I am not terribly interested.
Volunteers are welcome to pick up where I left it. All source code
and build scripts needed are in the git repository. This is not for
the faint of heart.

Hey Morten,
Thanks for the windows builds you did create over the past years. On
occasion, they did help me help others: when confronted with other
user's windows machines and once, via WINE, on a Mac. There's something
to be said for the single file format of distribution where all
dependencies are bundled in---heavy but particularly effective and
noninvasive.
Anyhow, thanks again,
~adrian
