What about putting it into "News" on home page?
BTW, updating 3rd party tools to new versions in late beta looks a bit late to me.
I will try to test all my projects with new beta in next 7-10 days, and I hope most of U++ users will to this too, so the final 2008.1 can be considered at least as stable as 2007 was.

Hi,
I am having problem with mingw.
At the end of the compilation signals a ld.exe error and appear the usual windows message asking to inform microsoft. No executables is produced.
I tried my app and helloworld example with the same result.
Is it the effect of the new compiler?

Strange, I compiled all examples and tutorial with new mingw and everything was ok. However ld and ar are upp replacements. Maybe in your case they fail. Could you post here your package so I could test it?

I went on the mingw site and downloaded their installer. Then I choose a candidate version to install in c:\upp\mingw.
I compiled and everything was ok but my app from 3.4 mb is now 3.8. The previous upp I used was a 2007.12. I do not know if my app became bigger because of the new 2008 version or due to the new compiler (5.1.3)

IMO, you have just witnessed that "uld" is more than just faster
