[Bf-committers] Promoting MSVC 2015 builds as official
Hey everyone, We've got MSVC 2015 libraries and buildbot for quite some time now. While there are some compilation errors time to time on buildbot, they don't seem to be MSVC 2015 specific at all. Is there any reason NOT to make MSVC 2015 a default one for Blender? This will include: - Removing MSVC 2013 builders from buildbot. As a benefit users wouldn't be confused whether they should go with 2013 or 2015 builds. - Moving focus to MSVC 2015 libraries, which will save us time form maintaining and testing MSVC 2013 libraries. - If nobody from community steps up for the 2013 libraries maintenance those libraries will fade out naturally as it happened when we switched from 2008 to 2013. Any thoughts? -- With best regards, Sergey Sharybin ___ Bf-committers mailing list Bf-committers@blender.org https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers

Am not at all a windows specialist, but on a general point of view, I totally agree that maintaining a single build env for windows will help everybody save time for more interesting things, reduce occurrences of libs version mismatch between build env, and… use a more modern and standard-compliant compiler afaik. So unless we do have any serious known issue with MSVC2015, I see no reason not to switch to it and deprecate (fade into oblivion) MSVC2013. ;) Just my two cents Le 02/12/2016 à 14:21, Sergey Sharybin a écrit : > Hey everyone, > > We've got MSVC 2015 libraries and buildbot for quite some time now.

I totally agree to switch to MSVC2015. I moved to MSVC2015 last week and the compile time is shorter, so as I haven’t found any issue, I will never back to MSVC2013.
