[Development] Dropping of MSVC 2013

[Lars Knoll]

Hi all,

here are the promised numbers:
Version

Compiler

Commercial

Version

Compiler

Opensource

5.10.0

MinGW530

22 %

5.10.0

MinGW530

25 %

5.10.0

MSVC2013_64

14 %

5.10.0

MSVC2013_64

15 %

5.10.0

MSVC2015

20 %

5.10.0

MSVC2015

18 %

5.10.0

MSVC2015_64

20 %

5.10.0

MSVC2015_64

18 %

5.10.0

MSVC2017_64

24 %

5.10.0

MSVC2017_64

24 %



So MSVC 2013 is now the least used compiler by both our customers and the community, and seems to be dropping fast. Given that 5.11 is still some months out, download percentages for this compiler would probably be in the single digit range by then.

So my proposal is to drop MSVC 2013 support from 5.11 and onwards.

Cheers,
Lars

Sorry, no. As mentioned during the contributor summit, this decision is
tabled until we have the 5.10 download figures.

   Any numbers now?
