[LiPengfei19820619]

HI, when will the download of win64 version be available?
Thanks a lot.

[egamma]

LiPengfei19820619 we have a zip install only (see the May plan). The May plan has several limitations like no auto update. We have therefore decided to not make it available yet. More work is needed in June.

Closing - 1.13. has been shipped
