Perhaps we should also add a list of those softwares still being
developed of which the latest version _does_ still work under XP - for
example:

IrfanView (32 bit) 4.44
Everything (32 bit) 1.4.1.877
Brother's Keeper 7

The list would be immense. I have hundreds of programs on this
computer, all the latest version, all working fine.
Sometimes I download an update to a software I like and the
installer says "your OS is no longer supported". So it's more useful
to know which was the last version that worked.
Sometimes it's just a compiler switch the developer was too
lazy to include and/or a few minor adjustments (case of FFmpeg).
Sometimes the developer has to complete re-write the software to cater
for the likes of Win 10, in which case I don't blame them for not
maintaining a separate version for XP.

I've never heard of any of the software on that list, so I guess I'm not
missing anything. One exception is Palemoon, which I'd never try again,
because some years back I installed a suitable for XP version and it
caused my whole computer to lock up. I dont remember all the details, I
only remember it was a huge pain in the ass to get rid of it, and it got
added to my list of "software to avoid", with a comment that I added
saying "dont even think of installing this system crashing piece of
****".

silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in
silencing mankind. -John Stuart Mill, philosopher and economist (1806-1873)

The trouble with "not officially supported' means it might
crash on some vital mission.
If you do run into any problems, please update the thread.
Funny thing, the audacity site now lists v 2.06 as the "last
one to support XP".

"For Windows 98, ME 2000 and XP see Legacy Windows Downloads."

https://www.audacityteam.org/download/legacy-windows/

When I downloaded 2.13 it listed XP as a compatible OS.

Palemoon 26.5.0 - the standard version crashed immediately.
The XP/Atom version has never crashed (I corrected the list above).
Major bother was FreeDownloadManager does not work with
Palemoon.
I replaced it with DownloadThemAll, have done about 600
downloads, but can't figure out how to save the file/URL history to a
text or html file. It stores all the data in encoded files
(dta_log.txt and dta_queue.sqlite). It's getting slower and slower to
load.
DTA version 2.0.16.1 in case anyone is interested. Last
version to work with Palemoon XP.

There is a new XP compatible version of Pale Moon called "New Moon", and it
installs ok, but I had those Secure Connection blocking issues on a couple
of sites, just like I did with Pale Moon version 26.5 (but not 26.4). But
I've also noticed that Pale Moon sometimes has a few other issues in
rendering web pages on a few other sites, so maybe it's best to stick with
Firefox.(JMHO). Too bad, as I really preferred Pale Moon.

I'm not too concerned with TLS 1.3. I never do any online
shopping or banking. Even if I did, all the local banks are TLS 1.1
and TLS 1.2
Palemoon works fine so far. If I ever have to update (because
ordinary sites start enforcing TLS 1.3), I'll probably just boot into
Linux (use Devuan).
The New Moon project looks interesting. I'll wait for it to be
more thoroughly audited though, before I try it.
Thanks for the tip.
