Building several versions and putting them up to download is a bit like a "double sided knife", you're avoiding possible damages by downloading binaries from untrusted sources, without verifying its authenticity, but you're also making people delay temporarily (or possibly permanently) updating to current, up to date versions with bug fixes, new functionality and stability improvements.

I was only considering doing some 0.92 builds for offline signing. It's the last version with x86 support and can sign for 0.93-4-5.

0.91 is a goner, there is just no way someone could get that online on consumer hardware. It was already locking up for most users around block #240k.

As for updating, people will have to if they want to use the segwit and BIP32 wallets (when that comes =P)
Hi goatpig,

Is there any foreseeable reason 0.93.3 will ever stop being able to receive transfers or sign transactions due to a Bitcoin Core version update, or for some other reason? If this version will eventually become obsolete to the point of being unusable, would that be months or years from now?

Will all future versions of Armory allow for exporting key lists so that private keys can always be kept safe in case of hard drive/wallet backup failure?

Thanks for your time.
