Well, 25.03 works. At least IDE itself. I haven't tested built-in compiler, because I use different one.
Is it healthy for project not to have regular stable releases?

If you're using a build compiled to work with UCRT then you need to install an update to enable UCRT in Windows 7.

Is one of the builds (https://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries/#imagesoswindows48pnglogo-microsoft-windows)
compiled to work with UCRT then?
(I haven't installed that MS update).

One of my PCs is still running Windows 7, so I'm still using a C::B build myself with the old MSCRT runtime library.

If you want to build that version, you can fork a repo from my github repo, and modify the build script (suppose you want the official SVN head version, not the one I have my own patches), and later use the github action to build a new C::B.

See here:

If some piece of memory should be reused, turn them to variables (or const variables).
If some piece of operations should be reused, turn them to functions.
If they happened together, then turn them to classes.
