@ -216,3 +216,19 @@ NufxLib and DiskImg libraries use narrow strings for filenames. The libraries
are expected to build on Linux, so converting them is a bit of a pain. At
some point it may be necessary to support Unicode fully. v4.0 did a lot of
code reorganization to make this easier, as did NufxLib v3.0.
4. Windows XP support. The default Visual Studio 2013 configuration creates
executables that do not work in Windows XP. CiderPress uses a compatibility
toolset and packs about 5MB of additional DLLs (mfc120u.dll, msvcr120.dll) in
the install package to keep things working. At some point it may not be
possible to support WinXP, or building for WinXP will prevent something from
working. The good news is that, for the current round of tools, it's
possible to build a single binary that works fully on WinXP and later systems.
5. Installer magic. Security improvements and changes like the Win8 "Metro"
launcher affect the way apps are installed and launched. So far the only
impact on CiderPress was to the file association handling (the stuff that
allows you to double-click a file and have CiderPress open it), but it's
likely that future OS changes will require matching app changes. The use
of DeployMaster is helpful here, as it has been kept up-to-date with changes
in Windows.
