I think it's time we did this, so there's a new snapshot 1.9 of z88dk uploaded to Sourceforge. There's quite a few bug fixes in this release, there's quite a few changes, mostly improvements and bug fixes:
- [z80asm] Supports -I and -L directives to specify library and include paths
- [z80asm] the # include identify is no longer required
- [z80asm] Bug fixes for rabbit support
- [sccz80] Support for alternate assemblers
- [zcc] Support for alternate assembler/linkers
- [z80nm] Improvements and bug fixes
- [lib] MSX: Many improvements including lib32
- [lib] TRS80: New target
- [lib] Galaksija: New target
- [lib] CPC: Better handling of firmware calls and graphics support
- [lib] C128: Improvements
- [lib] strlcat and strlcpy are now available
- [lib] Many other improvements and bug fixes
...and probably a lot more things that I've forgotten.
As usual, documentation of the features supported by the various targets can be found on the wiki (http://www.z88dk.org/wiki)
z88dk v1.9 released
That's way we can't resist by adding new features day by day so our offcial releases are rare 
Linux supporters noticed it and use to freeze a snapshot for their package releases.
You could get the latest nigtly snapshot, which in this moment is in a quite healthy state... ot it is the Windows installer you miss ?

I understand that you want to add new features daily so there are no new official frozen versions anymore.
On the other hand, having no official releases means that I have very little reasons to write my code beyond 1.9. I can never be sure if I, or other people can (re)use the code some time later.
Trying to introduce z88dk to new people is also much more difficult. I've shared a z88dk/sp1 demo program before on the WoS forum. Getting other people to try it by asking them to download and install z88dk and sp1 turned out to be a nightmare.
Note that I'm not asking any of you to do a new release or a new install executable. I'm very happy with 1.9, and the newer features won't offset the experience of installing and up-keeping of a moving version.
Thank you for reading.
