Outdated Leptonica version

How do you explain the fact that we got reports from people that downloaded your installer and now have Tesseract 5.3.0 and Leptonica 1.78 according to 'tesseract -v'?

I had to look that up myself because I had forgotton the details of the build process from December.

The Tesseract installer for Windows is built using the latest msys packages.

That's not the full truth. I planned to do so, but had little time when building in December and decided to use the old build environment which uses outdated packages from Cygwin and an old self-compiled package for Leptonica.

So the correct statement should be: The next Tesseract installer for Windows will be built using the latest msys packages.

Yes, you have liblept-5.dll while msys2 has libleptonica-6.dll.

I just finished a new installer for Tesseract 5.3.1 which is now using recent packages for all dependencies.
