Wondering if there's a chance that you might have a Windows 32-bit version available somewhere for my ancient Vista machine. Or can the CI create one somehow? Beautiful program, thank you for creating this, and thank you for Sauerbraten!

I'm sorry, I removed support for 32-bit a while ago. While the code could probably be made to run on 32-bit still without too much trouble, it be quite a bit of work to reintroduce it.

I understand, it's the way of things. Do you perhaps have an archive of older releases?

I haven't.. though if you have visual studio installed, you should be able to check out commit 7b30199cbef49dbdb6f7b10f0fecea3c008e76ec from 2019 which is the last commit before I changed things over to 64-bit.

Note that also requires compiling wxWidgets according to the README.md in that commit, which is incompatible with my current install, otherwise I would have done it for you.

Actually I was able to find an old version via the Internet archive:

I took a stab and got a version from July 2011 going, then worked forward and ended up with a version from August 2 2019, which may be the version you're mentioning.

I appreciate that you would have compiled it for me! I would like to give it a shot myself some day.
