New Windows Release

[cdrnet]

Is there any chance to get a more up to date release for windows? I'm affected by quite a few issues and crashes of dot.exe which are supposedly fixed or at least improved since 2.38 (which is the latest Windows release, from early 2014)

Building myself on Windows is not trivial, and even if I would manage to compile myself, the users of my software still need a stable version. Thanks!

I'm working on a more up to date version of Graphviz for Windows, but I'm doing this in my spare time so please be patient.

If you have access to Visual Studio Community, then building it yourself should be doable, I tried to make to process as easy as possible, instructions can be found here.

I understand that a stable version is preferable, I hope to release this soon.

Thanks a lot for putting effort into this! I'll have another go at trying to build myself, and provide feedback if I run into reproducible issues.

Do make sure to pull the most recent changes from, it includes some fixes for the Windows build.

Thanks for your work on this, @ErwinJanssen. Very excited to be able to build from source on Windows with CMake. Will make things a lot easier.
