With vs2013 there is not an xp target. With some work I think one could be
added.
OSX 10.7 is no longer an SL target.

Quote for a user:

Firstly great job on the new NT viewer, running great on Arch Linux with
nVidia v352,21

One minor issue I noticed in the console on start up is:

Fontconfig error: Cannot load default config file


This occurs on my Fedora 22 installation also.

Getting some great FPS figures with Advanced Lighting Model enabled and dd
at 256m .. 35 -50 FPS on my home sim.

Thanks for all your hard work, good luck with the new viewer, please let me
know if I can be of any further help.
