Proposals:Dropping Support for Visual Studio 6.0
From KitwarePublic
It has been suggested that ITK should drop support of the Visual Studio 6.0 compiler.
http://www.itk.org/pipermail/insight-users/2008-May/025838.html
Motivation
- Lack of support for template partial specialization
- The compiler is about 10 years old
- It is out the market (Microsoft doesn't sell it anymore)
User's Opinions
Please add your opinions here:
In Favor of Dropping Support
- Hans Johnson: My vote has stayed the same for many years now. I think that the need to support partial specialization is critical for future of ITK. Dropping support for VS6 will allow us to move the toolkit forward.
