When will it appear in the binaries (I see that the release version is still 8.1.3)? I thought about trying to compile from source, but after looking at the mingw page was too intimidated by figuring out what to download to try compiling source.We generally don't worry about point releases too much unless there's a pretty serious bug, so it'll probably take a while. Unfortunately I don't know of anyone building nightly binaries. This is something we should think about doing, especially for windows...
What for? The only binaries we should be letting out are for declared releases. If the bug is serious enough to warrant cutting a generally distributed binary for, it's worth making a release for, IMNSHO. The Windows packaging team usually follow up a release with a package very quickly indeed.
