Sorry can you hold off using these. I think I compiled 'DEBUG' versions by mistake and the speed is crippled.

Will update and announce soon.

Jim.

These are the dll files needed to run Lucas's compile.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/5047625/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll

I recompiled my binaries again for v 4.0.1. I still wasn't happy with the speed.
These are much faster :)

These were compiled from the latest src code just pulled from the repo.
Revision: 272

Message:
new windows compile
redid both linux and windows compile, also accounting for the last functional patch, so increment to 4.0.1

No functional change
signature = 7217665
What was the bug ?

Jim.

Just going by what Lucas said in the first post:

This is a release candidate, so I'd like to know about bugs primarly, so I can fix them and make a 4.0.1 release with less bugs and so on.

Just like to say this is more a discussion to establish and fix bugs, especially related to portability. So testers, please don't spend your CPU time on DiscoCheck yet :wink:

Jim's compile is functionally correct: it has the right node count. But I find it a bit slow (although I don't know what computer he's using). He gave me some detailled advice in the programming forum, and I'll try to do some cross compiling, and see if I can get fast executables for Windows.
Theory and practice sometimes clash. And when that happens, theory loses. Every single time.

Please let us know when we can start testing the new version with confidence. :)
