selectively copy them.

YY.MM is a common versioning method.

Considering this project has a nightly build I would have expected a different version numbering system. Does that mean there are 31 different versions called "20.04"?

I think I'll stick with 17.12 in that case, unless there's some glaring flaw with using an old version like that.

@stahta01: Night builds are only 64bits and probably suffer the same problem. Don't recommend them to people when they doesn't work.

@VCSMaster: You can make the new version work if you use some parts of the old version. See here for details: http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,23770.msg162076.html

GCC-generated binaries are linked to msvcrt. There are misfits with default msvcrt on XP and contemporary gcc+Mingw-w64 libs. In general, these misfits might be avoided by forced link against unicrt (and by  installation of the unicrt on XP PC).
