I have no control over the old source forge site and will be making the
first official release at the end of the month window s binaries will be
provided at that time. Some Linux distros have adopted pre-release testing
versions so you've probably seen these. 1.8 is the next official release.

@Michael : Awesome news! Thanks for the heads-up!

Good news!
I am also very interested in getting binaries for MS Windows of the latest KDiff3. It seems that Version 1.81 has already been released. Could you provide a link where the builds have been published or could you also upload a pre-built version for Windows?
