(original) (raw)
They're all similar in features support.
The long range of dates is just because they're better at long term support than we are. :-)
Different distros will have different dot versions, but they are essentially the same for our purposes (c++ support).
Cheers,

+1 from me.But which version of 4.8.x? 4.8.0 was released in March 2013 while 4.8.5 is June 2015 (see https://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html) Thats an awfully long time between those dates, so i can’t imagine everyone being on 4.8.5, but shouldn’t we aim for the highest possible one if we’re bumping versions anyway?Looking at Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=gcc-4.8), appears that 4.8.4 is available for many platforms, so if possible that might be a good version to do.

increase the minimum required GCC to 4.8.
Fine with me.
