In preparation for the upcoming release, I tried running the windows builders. I'm seeing lots of issues with msvc-10.0, -11.0, and -12.0.
I know there has been some traffic about pushing forward changes that break compatibility with older compilers...I'm guessing this is what is happening, but wanted to double check.
1. Are these errors due to removing compatibility in some library(ies)? 2. Is the expected result of this compiler errors (vs. libraries that just refuse to build)?
With the assumption that these are fine, I'm preparing to drop those three versions from the build for this release.
I think that it's time to thank msvc-10.0, 11.0, and 12.0 for their service and retire them. :-)
