Thanks for the update! :)

no problem.
There's a few 32-bit crash bugs that have just been fixed, we will be updating these builds soon.

* Added support for 'single face' arch-glass.

Is the normal direction of this plane relevant somehow?!

Glass thing is really cool!

What are the pros/cons of using the single face arch glass? Is it faster but gives less realistic results?

Well, it was basically added so that pre-existing models that use only a single face for glass will render correctly. For example, a lot of the models in the SketchUp 3d warehouse use just a single face for glass (for car windows etc..).
If you are creating the model, you will want to use the usual two-face glass. It will give more realistic renderings when the camera is closer to the glass (you will see double reflections etc..).

I just tested it. its a little bit faster, but only has single reflections, while glass with a thickness has two reflections, and a slightly shifted look (dependent on thickness of Glass).

I prefer the basic glass with volume here...

Which by itself it's quite of a feature! Models by the thousands, working out of the box without any hassle! I say a neat feature if you ask me! ;)

I've tested again and when I hit render button first time everything works just fine. At the second time Indigo crushes down again. Also when I use Skindigo scattering I get this message:

An error occurred while SkIndigo was exporting the scene.

Is this SkIndigo build only available bundled with Indigo?!

Can you give any more details about this crash?
What is the exact sequence of steps to replicate it?
Does it happen on any scene? What about with the example test scenes?
