Isn't the Gtk requirement of 0.44 the same as for 0.43? I thought it was a concious decision to drop Win95 in favour of stability and bug fixes only available in later versions of Gtk..
The requirements for 0.44 and 0.43 may be the same, but Win 9x was dropped back in 0.43:
I see.. So.. is it different from the requirements of 0.42 (or whatever version did run win95)? ;-)

Quoting: "Due to issues in GTK 2.8 beyond our control this version of Inkscape will not work on Windows 95/98/ME."
I still find it odd to blame gtk 2.8 when inkscape only requires 2.4(?). From the earlier discussions about running inkscape on older linux distros it was decided to only slowly raise the gtk requirements. Why so quickly on windows?
Anyway, if there will be no more win95 versions of inkscape I will be happy to stop duplicating my code (for both ansi and wide windows api).
