------------------------------ Dear community, I hope you are doing well in these special times. As you probably know, building and packaging QGIS for windows is connected with a bigger workload than all other platforms. Especially when updating the complete dependencies stack (Qt, GDAL, GEOS, psql,...), this becomes a mammoth task that Jurgen takes care of. Now double the architectures, and he gets double the fun... Based on the user survey, discussions with key developer/users and trend observations, we decided to phase out 32-bit support on Windows. tl;dr QGIS will drop 32-bit support on Windows after the QGIS 3.16 release when we update our Qt dependencies to Qt 5.15. The Plan QGIS will drop 32-bit Windows support in the next few months. QGIS 3.16 LTR will still be available for 32-bit systems. 32-bit support will be dropped during the process of updating Qt to version 5.15. Due to the complexity of the involved tasks, there is no fixed date for when this update will happen. [....] ------------------------------ AFAIR I've raised the same question for our winGRASS 32bit binaries in the beginning of this year. :-) so it may be a good chance to do the same announcement in our channels that winGRASS 32bit binaries will phase out in the next couple of months. any opinions? ----- best regards Helmut -- Sent from: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Grass-Dev-f3991897.html _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list grass-dev@lists.osgeo.org https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
