Hm, that might be because I disabled use of a certain CPU instruction
set (SSE2) for one of the libraries, after seeing that the
"noncrashing" GTK Windows builds have it disabled for 64bit as well.
Obviously it did not help, since we still get crashes.

Just out of curiosity, can you put a finger on what exactly feels
sluggish? Redrawing of certain interface elements? Opening windows
(compose, preferences, etc.)? Something else?

"Win32" is just a platform name here, like "Linux" or "FreeBSD".

Thing is, my "beta" releases are just betas in name of the
installation .exe file, nothing else. Windows applications have rather
constrained formal versioning - x.y.z-r, where each of the four have to
be a whole number. So there is no place to put an information about a
"beta" build there. Previous version was 3.15.0-1 (Claws Mail 3.15.0,
Windows package first release), and eventually there will be 3.15.0-2
(Windows package second release).
