Blender compatibility

No row, because the source did not name one of the Blender versions this site tracks: 4.2, 4.5, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2.

A “works” row means the vendor named that version, or a range that includes it. It is not a test run on this desk. Blender 5.2 is marked LTS because the Blender download page called v5.2.2 LTS. The date of that build was not on the page.
