# Items to be removed from future curl releases
|
|
|
|
If any of these deprecated features is a cause for concern for you, please
|
|
email the
|
|
[curl-library mailing list](https://lists.haxx.se/listinfo/curl-library)
|
|
as soon as possible and explain to us why this is a problem for you and
|
|
how your use case cannot be satisfied properly using a workaround.
|
|
|
|
## Nothing
|
|
|
|
Nothing is currently scheduled to be removed.
|
|
|
|
## winbuild build system
|
|
|
|
curl drops support for the winbuild build method after September 2025.
|
|
|
|
We recommend migrating to CMake. See the migration guide in
|
|
`docs/INSTALL-CMAKE.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Windows CE
|
|
|
|
Windows CE "mainstream support" ended on October 9, 2018, and "Extended
|
|
Support" ended on October 10, 2023.
|
|
|
|
curl drops all support in November 2025.
|
|
|
|
## VS2008
|
|
|
|
curl drops support for getting built with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 in
|
|
November 2025.
|
|
|
|
The only reason we kept support for this version is for Windows CE - and we
|
|
intend to remove support for that Operating System in this time frame as well.
|
|
Bumping the minimum to VS2010. VS2008 is a pain to support.

|
## Windows XP
|
|
|
|
In January 2026, curl drops support for Windows XP and Server 2003. Their
|
|
"mainstream support" ended in 2014, with final updates on May 14, 2019.
|
|
|
|
Making the new minimum target Windows version Vista / Server 2008.
