Description |
Reasons to deprecate Windows XP support:
- cacerts.pem maintenance (0003267:0018459, 0003954)
- Windows XP § End of support (English Wikipedia)
- According to Blzut3, "at some point it will probably become a hassle to update OpenSSL and certainly by the time we switch to Qt 6 (which sadly only supports Windows 10/11)." (0003954:0021973)
- Technically Visual Studio 2017 is the last compiler from Microsoft to support Windows XP officially, although we have moved to support MinGW primarily or solely a long ago.
