I am thinking about removing RTAS support from WDL-OL and setting minimum OS to macOS 10.7 and Windows 7. Projects for visual studio 2017 and Xcode8+. This means we can move to c++11.
Why remove RTAS? Is it a dead format now? Is AAX replacing it?
Pro Tools 10 was the last version to support RTAS, PT is now at 12.8, so it is a dead format, and many vendors dropped support for it a while back. I've already removed the code from my fork of WDL-OL, same for 32bit support which removes all the annoying if/else for OSX Carbon code.
I think that c++11 is a must, thought I still haven't switch to it in my fork.
RTAS should go, but can we remove 32bit on mac too? I am building universal binaries only on mac and nobody complained so far...
What is very confusing to me if this thing with setting target os vs using older sdk. As far as I understand we can use latest sdk and target 10.7 without a problem. Right? Can we be safe doing that?
I always am sitting on the fence about RTAS. I still provide it and once in a while someone thanks me for doing it, but it would be nice to be able to have my dev system up to date.

comments please!
Most of your suggestions are fine with me but I hope that you stay with the Xcode 8 version requirement on the last version that is supporting El Capitan (instead of Sierra) because older systems can't be updated to Sierra (what is a shame that Apple decided so). I have never compiled RTAS, and my first steps were to set the projects to 10.7+ and c11.
