• Interesting, but from a quick look at the repository at SF.net it seems only ffmpeg, perl, webp, and qemu are available...

FTR, JohnTHaller stated (https://www.portablefreeware.com/index. ... mment30059) that the last XP compatible Libre Office version is v5.4.3(?)...

According to the changelog, as of version 2.0.x Passmark OSFMount (https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2056) no longer supports XP -- thus making v1.5.1018 the last one compatible

So the correct answer is here, too, LibreOffice 5.4.x maintains compatibility with Windows XP. LibreOffice Portable 5.4.4 didn't work on some Windows XP machines due to missing libraries. LibreOffice Portable Still 5.4.5 works on a clean Windows XP SP3 install even without those libraries as they are bundled with the app. PortableApps.com will continue to update and support this Still channel through June 11, 2018 when LibreOffice Still 5.4.7 is retired and the Still track moves to 6.0.x and Fresh moves to 6.1.x. On June 11, 2018, LibreOffice will no longer have a secure, maintained version for Windows XP.

According to the 'readme.txt' for v5.0.3 noting a crash fix, SwiftSearch (https://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=2954) still supported Windows XP.

Not surprising as XP is 0.2% of Steam usage and they're likely switching to a modern compiler.
