+* Starting with the March 2025 release, Windows 7 and Windows 8.0 support has been retired.
+
 * Starting with the June 2020 release, this library makes use of typed enum bitmask flags per the recommendation of the _C++ Standard_ section *17.5.2.1.3 Bitmask types*. This is consistent with Direct3D 12's use of the ``DEFINE_ENUM_FLAG_OPERATORS`` macro. This may have *breaking change* impacts to client code:
 
   * You cannot pass the ``0`` literal as your flags value. Instead you must make use of the appropriate default enum value: ``CNORM_DEFAULT``, ``VALIDATE_DEFAULT``, or ``MESHLET_DEFAULT``.
