Given that these changes are handled correctly by all newer compilers \(including MSVC9 and likely MSVC8 as well\), it's probably safe to drop support altogether for this outdated compiler. In all likelihood, MSVC70 is also unable to compile these files, so it can be dropped as well. Additionally, all versions of MSVC have been unable to compile since revision 36007, as all of their project files continue to refer to the now nonexistent backends\saves\compressed\compressed-saves.cpp. }}} {{{#!div style=""font-size: 75%"" Ticket imported from: !#2600794.
