So that link is not up to date ? current OF apothecary lib support
Well, if it's relatively easy to compile and have multiple version of VS installed, wouldn't it make sense to support all the version people are likely to have ? I'm thinking of people who cannot use the free version for licensing issue or have a pro license for whatever reason and wouldn't be able to upgrade to the latest VS. Last time I tried to compile the things myself it took me a day and I ended up with half broken libraries here and there. And I kind of knew what I was doing; someone less experienced would be utterly lost. (well, if people in this situation are a really small minority, I understand why it wouldn't make sense though...)
Bottom line: I'm probably stuck with vs2013 and I'll compile the libs if I have to and share them with whoever needs them (with no warranty that it won't blow up in a mysterious use case I haven't met...)
