There is already GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC-11-g6a39192.
Any problems with build creation appeared?
It's possible, that new version of GD will release without testing (by ordinary users) on it main user group, i.e. Linux.

I just updated the Portable Linux version to GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC-154-gc7cc9e4. However, I strongly recommend you to try first the Linux packages available for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE and other distributions at viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2333#p10362. This portable version only caters to users of Old Linux distributions.

On some computers there are old distributions and no I-net (most people on computer with I-net uses search engines directly in browsers instead dictionary programs). Number of this builds is a proof for this.
For example, I use portable builds on such computer with OpenSuse 11.1.
So Your builds is very actual. Thanks.

Igorvach, what about update (therefore even though it'll be with well-known existing bugs)? Is open desktop (for GNU/Linux and MacOS) GD project still alive, or only commercial (for Android/Linux) version would be continuing?
I'll upload the collection of thousand En-Ru, En-En, Ru-En, Ru-Ru dictionaries with portable GoldenDict version without indexing requiring (for example, Wikipedia from this collection requires for it's indexing up to 7 GB for goldendict process and many days for FTS). But existing last portable version is too old (doesn't support FTS, zim dictionaries and many other things).


Thanks in advance.
