    We've always skirted on this, but it'd be useful for anyone building to define what are minimally supported versions of dependency libraries. This should probably be a new file in doc/, as it is not specific to any one platform. Also checks in configure.ac would need to be added to check if these versions are present.

    Ref: Bump minimum required Boost version #8875

    Known minimums:

    • Compiler: gcc 4.7+, clang 3.3+ (source: 0.13.0 release notes)
    • For QA tests: Python 3.4 (source: 0.13.0 release notes)
    • Boost 1.47 (after #8920)
    • For GUI: Qt 4.7+ or 5.?+ - to be researched, do we have a minimum 5.x version?
    • Wallet: BerkeleyDB 4.8 (5.x and 6.x works too)
