From 0ce9b08c10d043307d125709032a897d05c80bdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Huth Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 08:39:58 +0200 Subject: docs/about: Update the support statement for Windows MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Our support statement for Windows currently talks about "Vista / Server 2008" - which is related to the API of Windows, and this is not easy to understand for the non-technical users. Additionally, glib sets the _WIN32_WINNT macro to 0x0601 already, which indicates the Windows 7 API, so QEMU effectively depends on the Windows 7 API, too. Thus let's bump the _WIN32_WINNT setting in QEMU to the same level as glib uses and adjust our support statement in the documentation to something similar that we're using for Linux and the *BSD systems (i.e. only the two most recent versions), which should hopefully be easier to understand for the users now. And since we're nowadays also compile-testing QEMU with MSYS2 on Windows itself, I think we could mention this build environment here, too.
