Indeed the 3.0.x branch will contain the last releases running on: - Windows XP, Vista, and the servers equivalent of those Windows versions - macOS 10.7, 10.8 & 10.9, iOS 7 & 8 - Android 2.x, 3.x, 4.0.x & 4.1.x - Compilers before gcc 5.0 and clang 3.4, or equivalent * 3.0.x will be maintained as a LTS (best-effort basis, mostly for security) that will be the last working version for quite a few systems.
