Re: [Maxima-discuss] Announcing 5.47.0

[Viktor T. T. <vt...@vt...>]

Dear Wolfgang,

Well, I suppose it depends on how much trouble it is to build a 32-bit installer. The few folks who still download it presumably appreciate its availability, letting them run Maxima on older hardware or less capable VMs.

But if it is too much trouble then I believe dropping it is not an outrageous thing to do, considering the limited number of downloads.
