Hi!
So I've been looking at the Otter browser for a little while now, I'm also now using it in a Haiku OS VM that I recently installed on my computer. When I looked at Otter earlier on my other computer I only saw a version 1.02 Win64 build which the SF site still points to. There is a 1.03 build but it's Win32 for XP. There is a version 1.03 directory but it's only a few megs large and not the whole release.

When I tried upgrading the 1.02 Win64 to 1.03 on my other laptop it didn't quite work out. There are also no good instructions how to upgrade to 1.03 x64. There is only a 1.02 x64 build which is outdated by now.

I'm wondering are there any plans to further upgrade the Win64 binary or is it going to be stuck on 1.02? I don't want to use an old insecure version nor am I particularly thrilled in using an x86 browser built for XP.

So yeah I'd like to try out Otter on my main computer but the Windows release is all sorts of confusing. :(

I'd like #1685 to be merged. :-)

@Jon-guy30, you can use that "XP" build too, it's simply built in a way that allows it to still run on Windows XP, should work just fine on 64 bit Windows (works fine on 10).
This situation is caused by lack of progress on reviving the build machine, but as noted by @Frenzie, that PR could at least partially solve that issue too.

Thanks for the clarification. So there's currently no x64 build of 1.0.03?

At least the sourceforge "Download Latest Version" button could point to the latest 1.0.03 build so that people don't download the old one.
