As a happy user of the 32-bit version of Sylpheed on my old machine with Windows XP, may I ask you why a 64-bit binary is requied? Is there a situation where the 32-bit one does not work?
Is that a joke?
x86
is an ancient ISA, we have x86-64
, x86-64-v2
, x86-64-v3
, and x86-64-v4
, which each allow the compiler to optimize for more modern instruction setsNo, it is not a joke. I shall be grateful if the 32-bit binary shall continue to be provided. On the other hand, I doubt Sylpheed will gain any visible performance improvement because of the more optimal machine code. It will not be checking mail faster... If, however, I am wrong and your request will solve or at least widen someknown performnce bottlenecks, then I am all for it!
It's 2023, a Win64 bin build should really exist, and be prioritized over the Win32 one.
