New beta build, 7.8.292:
http://pike.ida.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/7.8.296/Pike-v7.8.296.tar.gz
Changes since yesturdays build are:
o Fixed overzealous filtering of the value returned from Stdio.File()->mode(). This bug caused Stdio.nb_sendfile to always run in blocking mode.
You are encouraged to upgrade just for this fix since the bug can cause supposedly nonblocking actions to block and hang the script.
Windows build also available today:

It starts, not tested much beyond that. Has GTK2, GL, Mysql, Postgres and SQLite support, but lacks SDL, Freetype and JPEG support.
Kick it a bit and see if it remains standing.
