Hi, I wanted to test the room on requiring C++11 in Avogadro 2. We have optional fallback to Boost right now, and some macros to make things work for the limited subset of C++11 we use. We cannot really take advantage of things like auto, lambdas, and move constructors easily. There are also things like atomics, threading features and regex.
With things like docker containers, and the fact that Windows has Visual Studio 2013 community (not sure Open Babel compiles there yet, but we should be able to help) are there good reasons to stay away from a hard requirement of C++11? I think if we continue the current pattern we have to use new features in fairly limited forms (made sense in 2011, not sure it does in 2015). Thoughts?
