FYI it sounds like protobuf is looking at making C++11 a requirement for building and using the library. This shouldn't cause a problem on Linux or OS X. However, this would effect Windows. We would need to drop Python 2.7 support if this change occurred. If this will affect you, please weigh in on issue ( protocolbuffers/protobuf#2780 ).

The protobuf team has decided to require C++11 support in 3.6.0. The 3.5 branch will support pre-C++11 and receive bug fixes only. As such Visual Studio 2008 will not be supported for 3.6+, but will be supported on 3.5. Would be good to keep this in mind for any pinnings we select as well.

We have updated the pinnings to use protobuf=3.6 and the new compilers all support C++11. So the issue is then only with VC 2008. protobuf=3.5 was not yet rebuilt with the new compilers. Is this something we plan to act on?
