I'm considering moving our default Windows build to 64bit - it's 2020 after all. Some studying of the information I can get from the people who have enabled the update notifications tells me that we still have at least 50 users running Windows on actual 32bit hardware - so below 1% of our Windows user base (but the number could be higher if a lot of 32bit Windows users have disabled the update check).
Either way, I think that's too many to completely drop having a 32bit binary, but it certainly seems to make it reasonable to switch to 64bit by default. One thing that is triggering this is that I am having problems getting a working libmtp build on a 32bit MXE build. It's entirely possible that that's simply my own fault, but oddly the moment I tried a 64bit build it worked... Of course we only need libmtp (so far) for the brand new Garmin Descent Mk2/Mk2i, and the likely overlap between people with a $1200+ brand new dive computer and a 32bit Windows machine is... small. Curious to hear people's thoughts. /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
