Which program triggers the problem? Specify the filename if possible.
Triggered by old dev team losing interest, being lazy, or being incompetent.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Exist
2. Install gdipp
3. Be a loyal committed long term user and patiently wait for a new version 
which still hasn't came out in 2 years

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of gdipp (including renderer)? On which operating system?
All versions of all operating systems.

Please provide any additional information below. Screenshots always help.
Solution: Step down and get a new dev team.

Come on! It's not that easy taking out time for an open-source project when 
you've got a full-time job, and a family to look after. We should be thankful 
this project was created and made open-source in the first place.

Devs, don't worry about this. We love what you've done till now, and whatever 
you in the future will just be a bonus. However, will be great to see some 
fresh blood step in and push for faster releases and regular maintenance. C++ 
and Windows Dev isn't my forte, otherwise, I would've volunteered myself.

PS: As an alternative, MacType is quite good and supports most applications. 
Only drawback: it isn't as accurate as gdi++.  I reckon it uses a different 
architecture and renders differently.

Well said, however I was under the impression that gdipp was developed and 
maintained by one person - not a group of 'devs'.

I believe MacType is based on the old somewhat 'hacky' gdi++ code, where as a 
gdipp is a far more elegant implementation.
