[ANNOUNCE] ATS v7.0.0 will require gcc 4.8.1 (or later / compatible) for C++11

[Leif Hedstrom]

Hi all,

as discussed on the mailing lists before, we are going to require C++11 for 
v7.0.0 and going forward. This means that for some platforms, e.g. CentOS6, you 
will need to use a newer developer toolset. For example, devtoolset-[34]:

        https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-3/
        https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/devtoolset-4/

(or, you can of course manage your own build tools).

We have changed the CI for CentOS6 to use devtoolset-3 for master and going 
forward. It’s a little unclear yet what this means for Ubuntu-12.04, hopefully 
there’s a PPA that can provide similar tools there as well.

Cheers,
