+* Starting with the March 2025 release, Windows 7 and Windows 8.0 support has been retired.
+
 * Starting with the July 2022 release, the ``bool forceSRGB`` parameter for the CreateTextureEx and CreateShaderResourceViewEx functions is now a ``CREATETEX_FLAGS`` typed enum bitmask flag parameter. This may have a *breaking change* impact to client code. Replace ``true`` with ``CREATETEX_FORCE_SRGB`` and ``false`` with ``CREATETEX_DEFAULT``.
 
 * 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:
