The list of issues with my main programming computer has increased slowly in recent months, but tonight I started having some Blue Screens on my machine, and the symptoms look like they're due to a failing hard drive rather than something that would just require a reinstall. I am currently running a maintenance tool on it to see if there is a verifiable drive issue, and afterwards am lifeboating (removing the contents of the drive through a USB OS) the files and trying to get a stable OS on there.
Odds are this will take the weekend to get a definitive diagnosis.
In terms of RTools, there aren't any outstanding issues in the 2.1 build, so there's nothing immediately at issue here. Thankfully, I store the programming files on a Dropbox folder, so I have auto-backup on my code and don't need to worry about that. In terms of when the next updates will occur, the first BSOD actually occurred right after I branched the 2.1 code into a 2.2 branch, so work will be in the down-low rebuilding which I have planned once I have a windows system back up and running.
