I normally use release versions of MinGW-w64.

However releases are not so often.

I got a case (https://github.com/brechtsanders/winlibs_mingw/issues/208) of a missing file which does exist in master.

So my question is: what is your release schedule or when can we expect the next release after 11.0.1 ?

There really isn't a planned release cycle. I normally start one when development is relatively quiet. I'll check with the others if there are still working on anything.

Thanks.

Do you normally consider master to be stable enough for production?

Yes, there aren't any major breaking incompatible changes in the master branch, the project is already quite mature.

Most changes are backports from wine header declarations to support newer Windows APIs and support for newer GCC versions rather than on the C startup code itself. mfmediaengine.h was added in November 2023 but 11.0.1 was released in April 2023, it is safe to use the master branch if you want the newer APIs.

Looks like there are still some patches that the developers are working on to include for the next release.
