OK. So let me check Crypto++ history and see if there's any precedent. (There probably is, I just don't recall off the top of my head). Open question: what versions of Visual Studio should be supported? > > It would be nice if VS 2005 would be supported but I guess we don't have > to (let it stay untested?). > Well, the project files are VS 2008. That ship has sailed. > I think VS 2008 should be supported. > Yes, definitely. Looking to the future, this may change. For Crypto++ 5.7 or 6.0 may switch to VS2010 or VS2012. We have to be careful how far we leap forward because those tools are expensive, and I don't want to create barrier for entry as a Crypto++ user. That is, if an average developer has VS2010 (but not VS2012 or VS2015), I want them to be able to download a run with it. > I also think that VS 2010, VS 2012, VS 2013 and VS 2015 need to be > supported (-> no warnings during compilation at standard W3, 5.6.2 did this > on all supported versions (up to 2012)). > Someone else asked about this, so we are going to improve the library under VS2012 and VS2015 (after the 2008 conversion). I have VS2012 and will be getting VS2015 just for this testing. If someone wants, say, VS2013 tested, then we will need to look at our options because I am not going to buy both VS2013 and VS2015.
