Hi, all,
Several people have been asking me to make additions and changes to the library bundle before the release. Since there are so many, I would like to try it incrementally rather than everything at once. This would make it easier to pinpoint a problem.
So first I've added Cairo 1.5.6 and Poppler 0.6.4. Here is the lib bundle: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32libs/devlibs-2.12-080131.7z and a "full debug" build made with it is here: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0801311945-fulldbg.7z and a regular build: http://inkscape.modevia.com/win32/Inkscape0801312227.7z
People who have had problems with PDF import recently might want to try these.
Gtk 2.12 and the "C++ exceptions not crossing DLL boundaries" thing are next, I guess. And probably that libxml2 security fix, too (bug in parsing unicode escapes).
