Hi Judie and Milan, As others have mentioned in 2.x we officially dropped VS6.0 support. The motivation for doing this is two fold:
1. Fixes to compile under VS6.0 entails modify code so its less clear than proper Standard C++ code, items like the for loop variable scope being one classic example, or oddities in headers. 2. The number of developers using VS6.0 was getting smaller and smaller to such an extent that few VS6 users were ever contributing fixes prior to releses, in fact for a numbers of years its been the case that often no VS6.0 users would test pre releases/dev versions, only waiting till after a release to chip in there was a problem. Item 2 is the killer. If people on niche platforms ignore the calls for testing then its really down to them if support for them is patchy. Now if you guys are willing to start using SVN and the dev releases and consistently get build fixes to use then perhaps we could start thinking about putting VS6.0 support back in. However, this needs to be a real commitment, you can't expect others to pay in time for the luxury of you using an outdated and broken compiler. Robert. Robert.
