Thanks for these fixes.
> 4) Follow-up the discussion regarding which platform we should support for johnny upcoming release for binary packaging and source testing on john-users. So far, I asked again if users had other requests but didn't get other answer since last week(OS X mavericks and up and Windows 32/64). I'll give it another try and make a brand new thread on the list with another title to get people attention this week.

I think we should lock in at just OS X and Windows redistributables. There were no other requests and I also don't think we can handle more than just that. I'm also inclined to think that if we do a good job, distributions will pick up Johnny "on their own" for inclusion in the main repos, without us having to prepare and maintain deb's and rpm's that might or might not work on various distros and the rapid release schedules that most follow nowadays.

Let's stop at this in regards to new features development.

Continue with this yes.

I found out that exiting with CTRL_C or 'q' isn't working with the windows command line(and also with johnny) (see http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2015/06/15/4 <http://www.openwall.com/lists/john-users/2015/06/15/4>). I'll keep an eye on this discussion because if CTRL_C makes john crash, CTRL_C_EVENT will make it crash too so it'd be interesting that johnny support cygwin build AND mingw build.
They are quite different. While it might be interesting, let's leave the MinGW consideration for the future.
I'm done with the public release of Tarsnap GUI (https://github.com/Tarsnap/tarsnap-gui), wouldn't hurt to browse it for a bit. Much juice there in regards to Qt/Johnny. I should be able to return to the previous levels of availability, now that I'm over this release.
Thanks for the good work,
Shinnok
