[TiLP-devel] Beta release of TiLP: v6.58

[Romain L. <rom...@wa...>]

Hi,

Win32 port with GTK+ 2.0 has been finished ! It has been quite easy.
A beta of TiLP/Win32 should be released soon...

Tijl: the registry file has been moved to $(prefix)/share/tilp according to
our previous discussion. This should make you happy !

There is currently no deadline about an official release.

roms.
