<p>Let's go for it.<br>
As <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/elextr/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> said, at some point we need to switch and it won't get easier.</p>
<p>If I read <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B14" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B14</a> correctly, C++14 is supported since gcc 5 and this one was released five years ago.<br>
I think it is reasonable to require a compiler from 2015. Users who compile Geany themselves and use systems which are older than this, have to stick also with an older version of Geany.</p>
<p>I'm not completely sure what <a class="user-mention" data-hovercard-type="user" data-hovercard-url="/users/elextr/hovercard" data-octo-click="hovercard-link-click" data-octo-dimensions="link_type:self" href="https://github.com/elextr">@elextr</a> means by "mainline becomes LTS". I would not vote for maintaining a LTS release.</p>
