This reminds me of a question I had:
# Known toolset versions, in order of preference. .known-versions = 14.0 12.0 11.0 10.0 10.0express 9.0 9.0express 8.0 8.0express 7.1 7.1toolkit 7.0 6.0 14.1 ;
We put 14.1 last; is this what we want in the release, or was this a temporary measure until the issues with 14.1 are sorted out, as they appear now to have been?
The latter. Because traditionally, we place the newest version first; and on a VS 2017
installation with both 141 and 140 toolsets, the above will (as far as I can see) pick and build with 14.0 if no toolset is given, which may be surprising.
And it was because of that reason that I put it last :-) Didn't want it picked as the default if it wasn't ready. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
