RFA 8.1 C 32bit

Hi, I thought 32bit C++ API was removed in RFA 8.0 but I see it is back in RFA 8.1. Is that a one-off for MiFID II or a reversal of strategy to allow people more time to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit C++ API?

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply, but it doesn't answer the main part of the question which asks whether the reintroduction of 32bit support will a one-off or whether 32bit support is also planned for following releases.

Hello @GregB

Maintenance releases will be made for 32 bit as well as 64 bit libraries when necessary e.g. bug fixes, but no new features will be introduced.
