Does 3.3.2 work under XP? If no, which last version worked?

[martinrotter]

BTW, bug is fixed, but note that internal web browser (QtWebEngine module) will not work under Windows XP. This OS is not supported. You must compile RSS Guard with USE_WEBENGINE=false switch for Windows XP.

Does this mean you're going to start compiling a special version for XP or are you planning on dropping XP support?

[martinrotter]

I will probably not compile special version for XP, I am not entirely decided. RSS Guard now should run on XP without any problems with given WebEngine switch. I do not plan support Windows XP anymore, but I expect that current and future RSS Guard versions will work on XP.

So you will probably have to compile RSS Guard by yourself with USE_WEBENGINE=false switch. You need to have Qt 5.6+ and Visual Studio (I recommend 2013) installed. Then you need to read Wiki section, which gives some info on compilling.

I am really not sure If I will compile both versions, but maybe I will.
