No final release today. The disk in my virtual Windows machine broke. Fixing that took up time that should have been used for testing, so you will only get some completely untested builds.
Pike 8.0.222 release candidate:
https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.222/Pike-v8.0.222.tar.gz
Windows build:
https://pike.lysator.liu.se/pub/pike/beta/8.0.222/Pike-v8.0.222-win32-oldlib...
Changes since Pike 8.0.182 (release 2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------
New features ------------
o Roxen.http_decode_string() now decodes UTF-16 surrogate pairs.
o Protocols.HTTP.Query now always sends a content-length header.
o Report feature flags for System.FSEvents and System.Inotify.
Bug fixes ---------
o The machine code generator on ia32 now aligns the stack on a 16 byte boundary. This makes it possible to call code that uses SSE2 instructions.
o Exceptions thrown in GTK signal handlers no longer cause segfaults.
o The SSL client code now interprets the RFCs more leniently.
o Multiple fixes for the handling of accelerated Filesystem.Monitor monitors, which could sometimes lose notifications.
o Improved handling of response content-length in Protocols.HTTP.Query.
o Fixed case where unfinished programs could lose their parents.
o Fixed "Invalid service"-error from connect() on Fedora Core 4.
o Fixed next_result() in Sql.sql_array_result.
o Fixed sizeof() in Array.Iterator, Multiset.Iterator and String.Iterator.
Building and installing -----------------------
o Multiple fixes for building on Solaris.
o Improved scanning for Odbc header files.
o Fixed some issues with --with-abi flags not propagating correctly to the modules.

I've spun this up in a couple of Windows VMs (XP and 7), and it appears to be broadly functional. Not a thorough test, but it's something.
The only issue I'm seeing is that it's still packaging old libraries. I can't recommend this to my users while it ships GTK 2.12.11 :( Is there anything I can do to help out there?

Well. GTK+ used to be available as an all-in-one package for Windows with a readme file saying
"This is a bundle containing the GTK+ stack and its dependencies for Windows. As such it is nothing more than a combination of the individual packages it consists of. For a list, see share/doc/gtk+-bundle-2.12.11-20080707/components.lst. Both run-time and developer packages are included."
I _think_ that is discontinued. If you can figure out a place to get a working build environment for compiling with Visual Studio that would help a bit. If you can find a place to get something that works with VC9 it would help even more.
