Platform support changes:
* 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.
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
* For the 3.0 branch, please note: * The Windows XP/2003/2003R2 support for VLC is now on a best-effort basis: it should work, but not without limitations. libVLC support for Windows XP is deprecated. You _really_ should upgrade to a more modern Windows version! * Windows Vista (all versions) without Platform Upgrade is not supported. * 64bit version of VLC for Windows is recommended. * Linux support requires now a kernel newer than 2.6.26. * Mac OS X 10.6 support is now removed. You need OS X 10.7.
