The current wording conflates the new minimum required compiler versions, which require support for C++11 and newer, with the C++17 requirement that is relevant only for this tutorial page (although it is still recommended over using C++11). Most of these compiler versions Clang 3.8 and VS 2015 do not support C++17.

Suggest moving the list of "minimum required compiler versions" into a separate note into the "Compatibility" page and referencing that page within the existing "Pre-C++17 Configurations" note below.

- `CMake <https://cmake.org/>`__ v3.15 or later
- `pkg-config <https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/pkg-config/>`__
