For the general motivation, please refer to the detailed explanation at OpenMPT 1.27 and libopenmpt 0.3.0 remove support for old Windows and Wine systems and old C++ compilers

OpenMPT 1.28 has removed support for:

• Wine 1.6, Wine 1.7; thereby removing support for the default Wine version on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Debian 8 (see https://bugs.openmpt.org/view.php?id=1041)
• GCC 4.8; thereby removing support for Wine Integration on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (see https://source.openmpt.org/browse/openmpt/trunk/OpenMPT/?op=revision&rev=10572&peg=10572)

libopenmpt 0.4 has removed support for:

• Clang 3.4, Clang 3.5; thereby removing support for FreeBSD 10 (see https://bugs.openmpt.org/view.php?id=1098)
• Android NDK 11 (GCC 4.9, libstdc++), Android NDK 12 (GCC 4.9, libstdc++), Android NDK 13 (Clang 3.8, libstdc++), Android NDK 14 (Clang 3.8, libstdc++), Android NDK 15 (Clang 5.0, libstdc++) (see https://bugs.openmpt.org/view.php?id=1046, https://source.openmpt.org/browse/openmpt/trunk/OpenMPT/?op=revision&rev=9835&peg=9835)
• emscripten older than 1.38.5: thereby requiring a modern emscripten with native WebAssembly support (see https://bugs.openmpt.org/view.php?id=1029)

For OpenMPT 1.28 and libopenmpt 0.4, we were additionally considering removing support for the following platforms:

• GCC 4.8 (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, CentOS 7)
• GCC 4.9 (Debian 8)
• Visual Studio 2015

We decided to not remove support for these platforms.
