#QUPZILLA ENDED XP SUPPORT FREE#XP svc pack 3, Zonealarm free 13.3 (newer versions do not work properly on XP) Avast Free 11.1 (Works on XP) Would have been nice to have known it wouldn't work (Probably just on XP?) before updating. The browsing area just flickers, that's it. Cannot input to search, nor type in address bar for a new web page. However, even the start page flickers and does nothing. Browser opens and I have to configure it to show toolbar, tabs not on top (apparently it's configured like Chrome out of the box but at least can be changed!) Also can configure other items. #QUPZILLA ENDED XP SUPPORT WINDOWS#Hi, after updating to Qupzilla 2.0 on Windows XP the program opens after saying my profile is not compatable with the new version, and backed it up as a. I imagine anyone actually updating to 2.0 will need to remove that D3D compiler however, and start anew with a profile compatible with the new version. (anywhere you see a backup or old file and a current one.) old or backup to browsedata.db, also you can do the same with session data etc. delete the current browsedata.db and rename the. db: Open the profile folder from your file explorer. Note for Windows XP: You may see warning popup messages on startup, it can be fixed by removing D3Dcompiler_47.dll in directory where you installed QupZilla.ĭon't know if this resolves the problem, but also was getting the same notice about profiles on the 1.89 version now, did NOT remove that file, however, I restored the old settings in the profile folder and that fixed it: Hence a real show-stopper would be the Go team hitting some roadblock which would just require some kernel feature not present in Windows XP.Ī good example was some difficulty with SEH handling on Windows 2000 which eventually led to dropping support for that OS.Update: AFTER uninstalling and re-installing 1.89 I found David's post: Hence, unfortunately, if there is no interest in supported Go on Windows XP coming from some "powerful entities"-such as corporations-the best you can do is to actually work towards still supporting this by yourself, FWIW.Īlso note that even after the support is officially ended, you still might have success building newer Go releases from the source (which is reasonably simple since Go 1.5 as Go is now built using (an older release of) Go). To Windows XP, a fix for it would have to be tested on XP anyway. This platform must be supported on autobuilders which are part of the Go release / QA process.Īn autobuilder must be supported by someone.īugs specific to a platform must be fixed and tested.įor instance, that issue refers to #23375 which happens only on Windows XP (SP3).īut even if a bug was specific to Windows in general-as opposed The most active Go-on-Windows developer, Alex Brainman, Someone who has access to it, and an incentive to work on it That means until January 2019 Īs to supporting Windows XP, there are both technical and non-technical reasons. Note that even if 1.10 is the last version to support XP, you'd get bugfix backports until 1.11 is out, and security backports until 1.12 is out. Is it already known when it will no longer be possible to run golang compiled exes on Windows XP because of technical limitations or if certain methods will fail because they can no longer work because of missing APIs on XP ? Then I thought that the revoked support for Windows XP only applies to the development toolchain but even that can still be executed on Windows XP:Īs you can see the main go binary still runs on XP too. I compiled my application with 1.11 and tried to execute it on a Windows XP SP3 virtual machine. Later support for previous versions of these operating systems has #QUPZILLA ENDED XP SUPPORT WINDOWS 7#OpenBSD 6.2 or later, macOS 10.10 Yosemite or later, or Windows 7 or In 1.10 it was announced that XP will no longer be supported and 1.11 confirms this in the release notes:Īs announced in the Go 1.10 release notes, Go 1.11 now requires Nonetheless I have to provide an application that can also run on Windows XP and I do so using Go. First of all: I know that Windows XP is end of life, insanely insecure, a big risk and that everyone still using it will be doomed for ever.
