As part of this process we will be very soon dropping support for any version of Visual Studio prior to 2012. If you feel strongly about needing support for these older versions, please speak up now with an offer to maintain these legacy build systems. We are also investigating moving to using chocolatey as a new system to manage dependencies on windows instead of maintaining the build for all our deps ourselves. It is also possible we will drop support for the 2012 build system in the not so distant future. Could the community chime in here as to what their needs are, and what they are willing to do to help support the windows builds so we can determine what we plan to support going forward.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks</div><div class="">Mike</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://chocolatey.org/" class="">https://chocolatey.org/</a></div><div class=""><a href="http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx" class="">http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2013-community-vs.aspx</a></div></body></html>
