The latest precompiled FET version for Windows use the latest Qt version.
With Qt 12.0 the old 32-bit compiler was removed. So FET is now precompiled for 64 bit only.
In fact FET itself doesn't need 64 bit. You can still compile with a 32 bit compiler.
But the new 64 bit compiler is fine. It optimize the code a bit better and so it speeds up generating a bit.

Since a few users still use a 32 Windows I decided to compile the latest FET versions with an 32 bit compiler.
I use Qt 5.9-x for this, since this is a LTS version. It will be supported one more year from now.

The official mainstream support (by Microsoft) for Windows 7 ended already on January 13, 2015. The extended support will end on January 14, 2020.
I will compile the latest FET version with Qt 5.9.x up to that date.

If you are still running Windows 7, you should think about using an other OS soon.
