Dear community,

During recent development, the need for bumping the minimum version of GCC from 
version 7 to version 8 surfaced. The only supported platform affected is Ubuntu 
18.04. This means that if we move on to deprecate GCC 7, it will not be 
possible to build the opm-simulators and opm-upscaling repositories from git 
with the default compiler on Ubuntu 18.04. Packages from the latest releases 
will still work. While we are in the process of bumping the version, we should 
also consider skipping GCC 8 and move directly to GCC 9. This will only affect 
the old Debian stable, which is using GCC 8. In practise it means that we will 
need to upgrade our Jenkins server to the latest Debian stable.

If moving to GCC 9 or later creates problems for you, please voice your 
concern. If no concerns are voiced, we will publish a date for the transition 
to give developers and users at least two weeks to upgrade their distribution.

Best,
Alf
