GtkHtml causes Windows build to crash

[Phil Longstaff]

I did test the win32 release as far as installing it, running it, creating a new file, but did not test reports.  Anyone want to write a sanity test spec?

Yes. That's unfortunate and it was unexpected. The blame isn't on you but rather on the missing part of the release process where we don't test the resulting windows binary at all...

Yes, but I guess that's the current way to at least get back into a working version. I propose we revert back to webkit, and in order to distinguish the newly working windows build from the broken 2.3.9 build we already switch to a release version 2.3.10.

You can revert, increase the version number, and tag right away (I'm away from SVN access currently).
