Title: Bitcoin Core 0.11.3
Post by: tzofeolam on May 09, 2016, 11:26:30 PM
Hi,

I've noticed there are several commits in the 0.11 branch with version 0.11.3 in the commit descriptions. The last commit in the 0.11 branch was done in March 31. Is Bitcoin Core 0.11.3 going to be released? It seems like a forgotten release.

I know there is 0.12.1 already, but I'm still interesting in 0.11.x builds.

It probably won't be released. It was never tagged. If you want it yourself, checkout the branch and build it yourself.

Is there any Howto about how to build Bitcoin Core from the source code on Windows? I can't find any as yet. There is a build-windows.md file that explains how to build Windows version on Ubuntu but not on Windows itself. Quote from that file:

Building on Windows itself is possible (for example using msys / mingw-w64),
but no one documented the steps to do this. If you are doing this, please contribute them.

I'm not sure how up to date this is, but this thread may help: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149479.0. Currently it is all done through cross compilation because compiling on windows is a pain in the ass.

Compiling Bitcoin Core on Windows is an always was possible, because Satoshi Nakamoto used Windows. But now, Bitcoin Core is build on some Linux, for the reason that quality and security can be checked and deterministic builds that allow anybody to check if correct source code was used.
