Re: [Wesnoth-dev] C++11 support

I can get behind that. Both Debian oldstable and CentOS are so notoriously 
behind in terms of software updates that anybody using them as a desktop OS 
probably very well understands what that means for them regarding package 
availability.

Hi,
Reading the referenced list, it looks like we'll drop support for Debian oldstable (LTS) and CentOs stable, visual studio prior to 2013 (I don't understand the implications of that, in terms of limitations on operating systems for developers) and OS X 10.6 on our development branch.
Do we think C++11 support is worth dropping support for those platforms?
Thanks!
Kind regards,
Andreas
Are we happy
