Hello everyone,
We've generated some new work, and while I was at it, I implemented the plan class changes I alluded to in discussion with a few users who were trying to use Windows 7 to run xoroshigo.
Python does not support Windows 7 anymore, hasn't since Python 3.8 back in 2018. 3.9 made breaking changes for Windows 7 and will not run on Windows 7.
To remedy the issue, we've implemented "win-modern" and "lin-modern" as plan classes we can use if our apps won't run on older OSes.
Put simply, on linux if your GLIBC is older than 2.27, you won't get work for xoroshigo2 (or any other app that requires lin-modern - which is likely to be all of our work in the future.)
On Windows, your windows version must be 8.1 or higher.
Let us know if you run into any issues running our apps. Happy crunching!
