Tinyproxy 1.6.4 was released recently, after a gap of nearly 4 years since the last release. It contains several bug fixes and current users are encouraged to upgrade to it.
For those who haven’t heard of Tinyproxy, it is a light-weight HTTP proxy daemon for POSIX operating systems, written with special consideration for users with low resources such as embedded applications. It can be modified easily too.
I’ve been working on getting Transmission up and running on Windows. After a ton of patching, it now builds and works to an extent under Wine. There are still some bugs in the libevent and I/O code which need to be ironed out. However, I don’t have the mojo to complete it in a hurry. Debugging issues under Windows sucks. And doing things differently for Windows sucks.

On a related note, it’s easy to build a GCC cross compiler under Linux to build win32 apps. One can build GTK+ apps and make installers for them, all from the comfort and elegance of Linux. However, an up-to-date document of the process and some gotchas to help the programmer would be helpful and I’ll post a link to such a document shortly.
