Bram - any comment on finally dropping 95 support? As in Win32s
(ah, happy days) - I can no longer do builds or run them so cannot
check the effect.
My opinion on that is to drop support for Windows versions older 2003,
since those are out of support for a very long time (except for 2003,
which went out of support this year).
A couple of years ago I proposed upping WINVER to at least 0x0500
(Windows 2K!) since this enabled extra OS calls and features to be
supported but at the exclusion of Win95/98/ME/NT4 support. A couple of
people piped up saying they still used such platforms and wanted VIM
builds on them so it didn't change. Perhaps this the time for another
survey of the older versions of Windows VIM still needs to support.
Windows XP most likely is the main older version to still support based
on recent installation surveys.
This could be done with the upcoming 7.5 release.
I see a bandwagon gaining momentum ;)
