Hi Everyone,
This is related to "Sunset support for older platforms and gear",
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cryptopp-users/JBphj5FlXfY/zs54JenSiiUJ.
The best I can tell, we are somewhere around this line:
NO: MSVC 5.0, MSVC 6.0, GCC 2.9
----- C++03 -----
YES: MSVC 7.0+, GCC 3.0+
We might be able to draw the GCC line at 4.0. But GCC 4.0 is probably
non-negotiable because we've gotten reports for a need to support GCC 4.0
due to Cent OS 5 (circa 2005/2006) and 4.1 due to OpenBSD (circa 2006/2007).
Just because a rough line exists, it does not mean we are going to
deprecate for the sake of deprecation. The existing code base still has
some issues, and the active issues will be tended to before deprecations.
We recently removed some MSVC 6.0 support because it was causing problems
in the code. We knew it was causing trouble because analysis pointed
directly to it. But there is remaining MSVC 6.0 code that's not causing
trouble, so removing it is a low priority.
