Alpha 5 is out and includes now DLL creation and the x86 (32-bit) version for Windows ! It also includes newer import libs for Windows on both x86 and x64 so if you needed to import newer Windows functions, it should now be recognized. The 32-bit linker has been as well updated and now support newer lib formats. Don't hesitate to test as usual, the C backend should be good enough for a wider trial.

Sneak peak into new CPU support for C back-end
I just finished the x86 (32-bit) support for the C Back-end on Windows and it barely took a week to do. Most of the time was spent on upgrading the build chain (linker, windows static libs, packaging the 32-bit version of gcc etc.), it was very very fast. Next step is to work on a ‘real’ new architecture, probably ARM M1 for OS X, looks interesting !
