XP support dropped
Might be worth noting here that XP support has been officially dropped as of this version.
System requirements will also need to be updated on the official page.
It Works
FileZilla 3.8.1 works just fine on Windows XP. The publisher just removed it from the supported OS list as many publishers will do now that Windows XP has been end-of-lifed.
For now
I figured it would still work, but one of these days it may not.
I assumed it would be better to let people know it may not work, before it actually doesn't.
Everything
The same applies to every piece of software whether or not XP is listed as supported. Now that Windows XP is end-of-lifed and generally only used on outdated PCs, publishers will be discontinuing app support bit by bit. Some will continue to list XP as supported but stop testing and/or bug reports. Some will de-list XP as supported but continue to use a toolset that supports it so the app runs without issue.
We de-list an app as supporting XP here when it actually stops working on XP. There's no reason to do it before. Same as we did when Windows 2000 was end-of-lifed. Once Windows XP is sufficiently well-and-truly dead, we'll de-list it site-wide as we are doing with Windows 2000 now.
