[1] At this point having pulled the plug on XP and Vista, should we push forward at 6.0 and instead set the minimum supported Windows OS to 7 SP1 with "Platform update (MS KB2670838)" [2] applied and supporting use of the "new" DWRITE enumeration/syntax and DirectX 11.1? [3]. Guess we have to keep the old enumeration/syntax for 5.4, and backport to 5.3, but would this help for eventualy moving rendering away from GDI, and also for refining OpenGL rendering? =-ref-= [1] <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj710196(v=vs.85).aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj710196(v=vs.85).aspx</a> [2] <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2670838/platform-update-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1">https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2670838/platform-update-for-windows-7-sp1-and-windows-server-2008-r2-sp1</a> [3] <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd368118(v=vs.85).aspx">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd368118(v=vs.85).aspx</a></pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
