Dropping Windows 2000 and VS 2008

Postby raspopov » 03 Apr 2012 16:43

I planning to drop Windows 2000 support in next release and also Shareaza sources will be compiled only by VS 2010. So, kevogod, what about daily builds on VS 2010?

In next release or after it? It might be best if the last Win2k release had the new features we've gotten in the past months (like DHT support for BitTorrent, for example).

What do you mean? I was serious about this... (Maybe you got me wrong?)

Well, then we should at least release a new version for Win2k users before switching to VS2010 to give them the most possible advantage as well as a version that is clearly labeled to be the last version for Win2k...

Like this we were to release an (overdue) next version and inform Win2k users that we are to drop their operating system before actually doing so. This is what should be part of good information policy.

Give me at least a month, and I will figure something out. Thanks.

Looks like i made some workarounds to save VS2008/Win200 support without loosing new Win7 features...

Why should we keep supporting Win2000? When will VC9 folder get removed?
