SubjectANNOUNCEMENT: Release candidate Csound installer for Windows 64 bit CPU architecture
I have uploaded to the SourceForge at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound6/Csound6.07/ a
new release candidate Windows installer for Csound, with all
components built for 64 bit CPU architecture:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/csound/files/csound6/Csound6.07/Setup_Csound6_x64_6.07.0rc1.exe/download

This includes Csound itself, the Csound shared library and header
files, CsoundQt including the HTML features, csound.node along with
NW.js to run it, interfaces for Java, Python, and Lua, examples,
tutorials, and manuals. New features in this release:

-- NW.js is included in the Csound binaries for running csound_editor
or other HTML programs using csound.node. This makes it easy to
develop and package stand-alone installations or applications for
visual music, sound art, audiovisual animations, or whatever using
Csound with all features of HTML5.
-- Steven Yi and I have created a new build system for the
MSYS2/mingw64 toolchain that should make using, extending, and
maintaining Csound on Windows much easier going forward.

Improvements:

-- The -j command line option for running Csound with multiple threads
for greater performance now provides better speedups with more
different kinds of pieces.

Bug fixes in this release:

-- CsoundQt no longer crashes on exit and no longer leaves zombies.
-- NW.js no longer leaves zombies.
-- Csound environment variables are set for SYSTEM, including
OPCODE6DIR64, PYTHONPATH, LUA_PATH, and LUA_CPATH.

Although only lightly tested, all prior features of the earlier
Windows installer for 32 bit CPU architecture appear to be working,
with the exception of CsoundVST.

Please enter at https://github.com/csound/csound/issues any problems
that you find with this installer or with this build of Csound and its
components.

Regards,
Mike
