 standards<CodingStandards>`. To enforce this language version, we check the most
 popular host toolchains for specific minimum versions in our build systems:
 
-* Clang 3.5
-* Apple Clang 6.0
-* GCC 5.1
-* Visual Studio 2019
+* Clang 5.0
+* Apple Clang 9.3
+* GCC 7.1
+* Visual Studio 2019 16.7
 
 Anything older than these toolchains *may* work, but will require forcing the
 build system with a special option and is not really a supported host platform.
