Hi! The original mail said nothing about 5.12.2. And I would remove support for both compilers in 5.13. Any 32 bits is an outdated platform. Best regards, Jesús From: Jani Heikkinen Sent: 06 February 2019 12:54 To: Jesus Fernandez; Maurice Kalinowski; Simon

Hi, As Simon already wrote this is affecting only prebuilt binary packages we deliver and nothing else. It is true that we usually haven't touched (at least removed) those in patch level releases but I don't see any big issue with doing this now; UWP x86 msvc 2015 isn't that widely used and
