 ## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 ### What are the minimum requirements to compile the library and tools?
-For GWB version 1.0.0 only a C++14 compiler and CMake version higher than 2.8.12 are required to compile the library tools. Note that for some optional features (such as certain wrappers and unity build) a higher version of CMake and other dependencies may be needed (e.g., a Fortran compiler to compile the Fortran wrapper).

 ### What do I do when I have a question or want to request a feature?
 If you have a question about the code and you can not find the answer easily in the documentation or the question is not already raised as an [issue](https://github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/issues), please let us know by opening an [issue on github](https://github.com/GeodynamicWorldBuilder/WorldBuilder/issues/new). This is also the preferred method for asking for new features for GWB.
