+# This how-to is out of date
+
+We have switched to MS Visual Studio 2019.
+
+We don't use MSVS 2013 any more. At the moment we are in the process of creating new pre-built dependency bundles
+and updating this document. In the meantime, you will need to compile the dependencies yourself
+[the same way as before](#building-the-dependencies-package-yourself)
+except with CMake generators for MSVS 2019 instead of 2013.
+
+Thank you for understanding.

 ### Dependencies
 
 On Windows PrusaSlicer is built against statically built libraries.
-We provide a prebuilt package of all the needed dependencies. This package only works on Visual Studio 2013, so if you are using a newer version of Visual Studio, you need to compile the dependencies yourself as per [below](#building-the-dependencies-package-yourself).

 The package comes in a several variants:
 
-  - [64 bit, Release mode only](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-64.7z) (41 MB, 578 MB unpacked)
-  - [64 bit, Release and Debug mode](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-64-dev.7z) (88 MB, 1.3 GB unpacked)
-  - [32 bit, Release mode only](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-32.7z) (38 MB, 520 MB unpacked)
-  - [32 bit, Release and Debug mode](https://bintray.com/vojtechkral/Slic3r-PE/download_file?file_path=destdir-32-dev.7z) (74 MB, 1.1 GB unpacked)
+  - ~~64 bit, Release mode only (41 MB, 578 MB unpacked)~~

 When unsure, use the _Release mode only_ variant, the _Release and Debug_ variant is only needed for debugging & development.
