For a patch release? I'd understand dropping support in major release and possibly minor releases, and adding support in minor releases, but I would think nothing would change, in terms of supported platforms, between patch releases. Not that there would be a problem with adding support in patch releases also; just seems like a distinguishing factor between minor and patch releases. > I don't know of any > others. Are there any that we'd like to add? Maybe AIX 6 if > and when we get it. I noticed Intel C++ 10.1 is not on the list. That brings up another related issue. Do we need to identify the exact version numbers? Or does HP C++ 6.16 for example mean that any other versions of the 6.x compiler are intentionally NOT supported? Brad.
