Hi newbie question, I'm afraid, but I have just downloaded Gambit via Chocolatey (Windows 10) as advised on the Downloads page, but when I open the REPL I see that the version is 4.6.6, from 2012 apparently, and some 10 years old, is there any way I can get the latest version (4.9.4) or close to it, or am I stuck with 4.6.6 because I am on Windows?
I don't work with Windows, and I'm not sure of the complete workflow, but I can suggest something to try.
Each git check-in is accompanied by a Continuous Integration (CI) build, which, if successful, builds artifacts for Mac OS, Windows, etc.
For example, the page
https://gitter.im/gambit/gambit
reports that on April 12, "CI run 2157769059 passed", with a link to the result
https://github.com/gambit/gambit/actions/runs/2157769059
From the bottom of that page you can download the various built artifacts; you may be interested in gambit-win-msvc-x86_64 or gambit-win-mingw-x86_64. This would be the latest, greatest development version.
Maybe you could give it a try.
