[Bf-committers] OSX 32bit builds

Hey everyone, For quite some time now building of 32bit binaries for OSX is no longer happening [1]. Additionally; - We don't do official releases for 32bit OSX for quite some time now - OSL and OpenCollada are already simply disabled in the buildbot So does it make sense to keep trying to

Re: [Bf-committers] Windows XP support

Hi, first of all, I think it is up to Martijn, as he maintains the Windows platform. :) On the other hand, we dropped XP several times in the past already, because it failed somehow on users systems or e.g. Martijn said it's taking away too much of his time to keep it working. And now we again

Hi Sergey, I would think that since apple only produced a very limited number of machines that x64 based and not x86-64 capable the cost of keeping this working could be better spend on other things. Martijn On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 9:39 AM, Sergey Sharybin wrote: > Hey

Hi, I am an avid user of blender and recently upgraded my PC. Now that I have another configuration (i.e Windows7 64-bit) I tried downloading the relevant installer (.msi) file from your website. I use mobile internet for downloading stuff so you might be knowing how difficult it is to wait for a

[Bf-committers] Windows XP support

Hey everyone, There are some difficulties in maintaining Windows XP and additionally there are some glitches in the toolset needed to compile Windows XP compatible binaries. So proposal is: make 2.77 a last release which officially supports Windows XP and for the further releases switch to

Re: [Bf-committers] Windows XP support

HI Matijn, It's ok to drop xp for 2.8. It would be good to keep everyone on board for 2.7x but if it's really to much hassle, I think everyone can understand. Bliblubli on BA did a xp compatible build of latest master with OpenVDB. Maybe you can join forces? Mat On 29/01/2016 09:50, Martijn

There are only md5sum files for the source directory currently. I'm sure we could verify a checksum if he was so inclined as to provide us with one though. Dan On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at 10:49 AM Knapp wrote: > Is there not an md5 he could check? > > On Fri, Jan 29, 2016 at

Re: [Bf-committers] Windows XP support

"I am happy to continue providing builds but I would really like to discontinue support after 2.77" I think would be the most optimal solution. I don't know how the current distribution is, but I seem to recall last time this was brought up that a lot of XP downloads (and there was a

Re: [Bf-committers] Windows XP support

What newer APIs do we want to use but are being held back by XP? I know the jump from Win 2000 to XP was because of the RawInput API for keyboard and 3D mice. I'm not making the case for keeping XP support forever, just want a clear case for dropping it now instead of during 2.8. Thomas Dinges

Re: [Bf-committers] Windows XP support

HI Mike, We could switch to PSAPI version 2 when targeting vista or above. I am sure there are others as just this one could have been handled without creating the **_xp variants of the toolchain. For me personally I think switching to mdvc 2015 is more important ( I know vc140_xp exists but
