Hello,

I am compiling curl-8.22.0 with visual studio 2026 (v145) and I get the
following errors:

This manual configuration requires MSVC 2010-2013 (IDE Project builds)

I found it is because of the following lines in config-win32.h:

#if !defined(_MSC_VER) || _MSC_VER > 1800
#error This manual configuration requires MSVC 2010-2013 (IDE Project
builds)
#endif

I changed it to the more lax check:

#if !defined(_MSC_VER)
#error This manual configuration requires MSVC (IDE Project builds)
#endif

After that all compile correctly. Should I be concerned with that change?
Is there a reason to restrict the version of MSVC?

Thanks,
