v1.0.0b1 not available on the win-32 platform

[spencerkclark]

cftime was recently updated to version 1.0.0b1. The updates have appeared on conda-forge for all platforms except win-32, which is still on version 1.0.0a3: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/cftime. Did something go wrong in the updating process?

@ocefpaf - any ideas?

[msarahan]

Conda-forge no longer supports win-32. No new builds will include win-32. I can't find any sort of official announcement, but I know the decision was made. Try asking on the gitter channel if you need more explanation.

@spencerkclark your best bet is to ask AnacondaInc to add cftime in their roster of stables packages, they do support Windows 32. Conda-forge cut Win32 in order to double its Windows 64 package capabilities. The advantage highly surpassed the disadvantage there, sorry.

OK, fair enough.

But can we remove the out-dated 1.0.0a3 version from conda-forge? I don't think we want win-32 users to inadvertently update to these prerelease versions.

Done.
