Yeah, DM5 is a very special piece of s... err... software.

Yes, 4.6.2 will hopefully go out today.

It's funny, I can't stand translated UIs, either, but our data tell us
that more than half our users indeed use translated UIs...

Excellent. So we have a workaround.

Building under Windows is incredibly painful. Lubomir was the only person
who every got it to work reliably, and I think even he ran into problems
lately. There is a file packaging/windows/mxe-based-build.sh that should
allow you to cross build a Windows installer under Linux. Read the file
for some of the setup you need to do to make this work. Even on a fast
system, the first run through takes quite a while - but it gets better
once all the libraries are built.

I would love to see another developer with Windows background (and an
interest in Windows as their main platform) start contributing. As it
happens, almost all of the developers run Linux or Macs as their platform
of choice, and Lubomir, our main Windows developer (without whom there
really wouldn't be a functional Windows version) is actually not a diver
and only does this for the love of programming...
