Would it be possible to build 1.1.x with MSVC2005EE? That way people
can compile their plugins on windows with the *recommended*
compiler (see: Development Guide) and use them with the 1.1.x releases.

Funny you should ask. I installed Visual Studio 2005 Professional
Edition on the Windows buildslave a couple of days ago, so switching
shouldn't be a problem. (I don't think Express Edition isn't adequate in
this case because it makes it difficult to create PortableApps and U3
packages.)

However, Visual Studio 2008 is out. Should we focus on making _that_ our
recommended Windows compiler instead?

If at all possible can we look at replacing adns as well, as it doesn't seem to be maintained any more. There was some discussion about it a while ago.

That was talk about c-ares as replacement for adns. It came out on top of my preference list (further candidates: UDNS and posadis). I have had no time to investigate this any further, let alone start design/implementation.

Thanx,
