To cut a long story short, we are extremely pleased – albeit wary – to announce a very first official pre-alpha development snapshot for 64 bit Windows. Eventually we became confident that the lack of Windows maintainership might be solved. Like some people before he managed to compile darktable on Windows and offered us the patches he had to do, but other than what we had seen before he stuck around, helped fix bugs and was open to suggestions how to solve things in a better way. Not just for the moment until all the patches got merged but for the foreseeable future.
The gist of it was that the real blocker for a Windows release isn’t so much a technical one but the lack of a person (or several) dedicated to maintaining it.
Then two years ago there was yet another post regarding Windows. While I still stand by what I wrote six years ago, the times they are a-changin'. A long time ago there was a post about why we don’t have a Windows port.
