Because almost none of my 6 or 7 guinea pigs gave me much feedback about its behaviour and because I've been otherwise busy. If it is uniformly better that's great! The Qt/Win Free people have made a bunch of other changes since then, so I'll make up a fresh .dll in the near future. I'll also backport some of the Win32 usability fixes that are now in the LyX 1.3.7 tree. > I was going to edit the Wiki myself, but realized I lacked > answers to two questions.

His name is Christian, actually, and he doubles as one of the Qt/Win Free developers. The .dll backports all mouse handling from the official Qt4 sources which is a huge change and is why we both wanted some heavy testing before releasing it to a wider audience. > The other is whether www.lyx.org is the server you > want the masses pounding on when they become aware of it. No. I'll shove something on the wiki in the near future. > I noted that there's a line on the Wiki about it: "... we?ll make > the new qt-mt.dll available."
