We test both their released and preview versions on a daily basis so that we can maintain functionality of our compilers and compiler integrations. The continous daily testing watches for all updates to their OSes and Integrated Development environments. If there is a break in our software due to a Microsoft or Apple update, support for these newer versions will come in a future release of our compiler. This does not happen often but it can occasionally happen. Any updates major, minor or patch, that comes out after our release has the potential to break our compiler or our integrations to Visual Studio or Xcode. In the time span between our releases, both Microsoft and Apple release their own updates to their software. With these versions, we ran testing and validated that these versions of Windows and Visual Studio and macOS and Xcode passed our tests and are therefore officially supported. “ Validated” means that at the time we began building, packaging, and testing our compiler for an upcoming release, these were the versions of Windows and macOS officially released and supported at that point in time, and the supported and released versions of Visual Studio and Xcode available to us at that point in time. This lists the compiler releases and updates and show which versions of Visual Studio and Xcode were tested and validated with each release and update of the compilers. This article catalogs validated version of the Intel® Compilers integrations into Microsoft Visual Studio* and also our integrations into Apple Xcode*.
