Hi,
so we've got (at least) two people using Windows 32 bits and not
planning to migrate near term, so let's keep the 32 bits Windows for now.
As a side note, Windows 11 exists only in 64 bits, and Windows 10 will
be end of life Oct 14, 2025 [1][2] (server editions have dropped 32 bits
support since longer [3]), which will as well be the latest end-of-life
for rdiff-backup 32 bits (assuming we've got toolchain support until
then, e.g. Python etc, else it'll be dropped sooner).
KR, Eric

Hi,
one more survey for you (with one or two questions), to ask you if you
still need the 32 bits version of rdiff-backup. I'd like to get rid of
it, but wouldn't do it if people still need it.

The migration date question is because I don't expect the next version
of rdiff-backup to come that soon, based on past experience, so you
might already be on 64 bits as the next release of rdiff-backup would be
out (and, no, I don't really expect a specific day :-), just be sensible).
Thanks, Eric
PS: support for Linux 32bits will follow the support by
https://github.com/pypa/manylinux so no need for a survey.
