Comment 43 for bug 179988

@bulia:

Actually, we have moved on to 1.5.10, which Carl released soon after. He just released 1.5.12 over the weekend, too. (Feb29) But I haven't tried that one yet. I really need to read the release notes to see what changes are in each Cairo release before grabbing the latest copy like an addict. :)

For those who are not on the dev list, I uploaded another "devlibs" library bundle on 1 Mar, with the latest Gtkmm/Glibmm/Cairomm/Sigc++ stuff in order for them to be in sync with the current Gtk libs. It is here:

http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/devlibs-2.12-080301.7z

We really need 2 things:
    1. Some linux box that can host a copy of the cross-compiler and devlibs, so that people without win32 boxes can test their submissions. Being linux, it will be easier to build dependent libs like Cairo or Gtk, for when we need updates or we need our own patches.
    2. Svnserve, serving a versioned tree of the devlibs. This uploading and downloading monolithically is nuts. We need something that can handle incremental diffs and versions. Any dev should be able to cd into his devlibs dir and just do "svn up" to get the latest stuff. Svn does binary diffs, so it should be able to handle this efficiently. Something like Portage would be better later, but we need something like this now.
