Hello!
the latest version of fet use: MinGW 5.3.0. and the axecutable of this version is smaller than the previous version.
I think we need more information about MinGW 5.3.0.
thinks
Qt from 5.6 above does not need the 3 icu dll-s, so they are omitted from the FET archive. So indeed FET executable for Windows is much smaller.
MinGW is the gcc compiler adapted for Windows (minimalist gcc for Windows I think it is). It comes with Qt.
Probably, FET will not be better with Qt 5.7.0 instead of Qt 5.6.1, but anyway I prefer to use the latest.

what do you mean by that expession? if I understand the speed will be affected!

It is an updated compiler, gcc 5.3.0 instead of gcc 4.9.2. This does not necessarily mean that FET will be faster. You can do comparisons, if you want (start with the same random seed the old and the new FET).
