Remove the experimental Windows 7 build
Drop the unsupported Windows 7 x64 portable build and everything that existed only for it: the windows7 workflow, packaging script and docs/windows7.md; the windows7 feature and the win7-target cfgs (plain cfg(windows) now); the Windows 7 print transport (printing/windows7.rs); the glow renderer path; and vendor/windows-link, the patched crate only that build used. NOTICE, README and the living docs no longer describe it; dated change-history rows are left as they were.

- Placed documents' bitmaps on screen: when a bitmap made in the background is ready, the desktop app renders the canvas again only where the objects that show its file are, when the frame shown was rendered on the UI thread and that part is at most half the canvas. Bitmaps drawn or made since a frame began are kept for that frame past the 512 MiB budget, up to 2 GiB, so a view showing more than the budget does not make them again in every frame. A bitmap that would take them past 2 GiB is not kept, and its file draws exactly at that zoom. A bitmap that can't be made (the file can't be read and there is no preview) shows the light placeholder and is not asked for again. Each ready bitmap used to render the whole canvas again, and bitmaps past the budget and bitmaps that could not be made were asked for again in every frame (`crates/render/src/tests/placed_document.rs`).
|
||||
- Linked PDF and `.ai` pages: File › Place with Link (the default) places a page of a PDF, `.ai` or `.ait` file read as PDF pages as a placed document, as it links an image, the page and its box (`crop`) kept with the link: Links check, update and relink it, Break Link and Object › Expand give the group placing it without Link gives, every output draws the page's vectors, and Package copies the file. Without Link, or with a password or `textAs: "outlines"`, the page is embedded. EPS and PostScript `.ai` files are still embedded (`crates/engine/src/tests/placed_document.rs`).
|
||||
- File › Place with Bounding Box (`file.place {crop: "bounding"}`) measures the art that shows, with its strokes and effects, as an export does: hidden objects, guides and template layers do not count, a group whose only part on the page or artboard is hidden is not placed, and symbol instances are measured by their art, for `at`, `rect`, the place cursor and `file.place.info` (`crates/engine/src/tests/place.rs`).

- Desktop print transport uses `craft-print` for CUPS and modern Windows. Sheet composition, copies, separations and colour management remain in VectorCraft; Windows 7 retains WMI and the installed PDF viewer. The Print dialog's Media list also carries the Japanese papers — JIS B4 257 × 364 mm, JIS B5 182 × 257 mm and JIS B6 128 × 182 mm beside the ISO B4/B5 (250 × 353 and 176 × 250 mm, kept so settings and presets saved before them keep their paper), and はがき 100 × 148 mm, 往復はがき 148 × 200 mm, 封筒 長形3号 120 × 235 mm, 長形4号 90 × 225 mm, 角形2号 240 × 332 mm, 角形3号 216 × 277 mm and 四六判 127 × 188 mm; the JSON id or the dialog label names a paper, any case and spacing (`B5 (JIS)` or `b5jis`) (`crates/pdf/src/print/settings.rs`, `crates/pdf/src/tests/print.rs`). The print-preview and physical-device fidelity gaps remain, so print scores and hours are unchanged.

- A PDF, PDF-compatible `.ai` or `.ait` opened from its pages or its editing copy opens with the File Info that its XMP packet and its document information dictionary give: the author, description, keywords, copyright status, notice and URL, and the created and modified dates, the XMP packet's value where both give one; the title is not changed (`crates/pdf/src/tests/file_info.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests/fileinfo.rs`).
|
||||
- PDF export and PDF-compatible `.ai` and `.ait` saves write the document's File Info created date as the file's creation date, or the time of writing when the document has none, and the time of writing as its modification date; the page information mark still prints the time of writing (`crates/engine/src/tests/fileinfo.rs`, `crates/pdf/src/tests.rs`, `crates/pdf/src/tests/marks.rs`).
|
||||
- PDF export and PDF-compatible `.ai` and `.ait` saves write File Info's copyright notice, URL and status to the XMP packet (`dc:rights`, `xmpRights:WebStatement`, `xmpRights:Marked`), so a PDF or `.ai` opened from its pages keeps them (`crates/pdf/src/tests/file_info.rs`, `crates/engine/src/tests/fileinfo.rs`).

# Windows 7 x64 compatibility build (experimental, unsupported)
|
||||
|
||||
Windows 7 is not a supported platform. This build is experimental and community-maintained,
|
||||
and the VectorCraft maintainers have not verified it on Windows 7.
|
||||
|
||||
This separate build targets **64-bit Windows 7 SP1**. It uses OpenGL instead of wgpu,
|
||||
and omits the native AccessKit accessibility adapter. Printer discovery supports the
|
||||
PowerShell version included with Windows 7, and printer setup opens Control Panel.
|
||||
Printing retains the PDF viewer's Print/PrintTo verb on this build: Windows 7 has no
|
||||
Windows.Data.Pdf renderer. The win7 target excludes `craft-print` from its dependency
|
||||
tree; normal desktop builds use the shared spooler. The `windows7` feature and dedicated win7 target must be selected together; the
|
||||
existing compile-time guards reject mixing this feature with the ordinary Windows target.
|
||||
The normal desktop and web builds retain their existing defaults. A vendor graphics driver providing **OpenGL 3.3 or newer**
|
||||
is required; the Windows built-in generic display driver is insufficient. GPU selection
|
||||
in Preferences and `WGPU_POWER_PREF` do not control this OpenGL build.
|
||||
|
||||
## Build or download
|
||||
|
||||
In your GitHub fork, open **Actions → Windows 7 x64 compatibility → Run workflow** (it
|
||||
also runs weekly and on pull requests changing the compatibility path).
|
||||
When it succeeds, download the `vectorcraft-windows7-x64-portable` artifact, extract the
|
||||
contained portable ZIP, then run `vectorcraft.exe` on Windows 7. The CLI is included.
|
||||
No MSI is provided: the existing installer remains for modern Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
To build locally, use a **Windows 10/11 build computer**, with Rust/rustup and Visual Studio
|
||||
2022 C++ build tools (x64 compiler and Windows SDK). Open an **x64 Native Tools Command
|
||||
Prompt for VS 2022**, change to your clone's repository root (the directory containing
|
||||
`Cargo.toml`), and run:
|
||||
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File packaging/windows/windows7.ps1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Add `-Test` to also run the app and CLI tests on the build computer.
|
||||
|
||||
Output: `dist/release/vectorcraft-windows7-x64-portable.zip`. The script installs the pinned
|
||||
nightly compiler and `rust-src`, rebuilds the standard library for
|
||||
`x86_64-win7-windows-msvc`, and links the C runtime statically. It never installs Rust on
|
||||
the Windows 7 machine. The optional `CRAFT_FONTS_DIR` setting works as in the normal build.
|
||||
Without it, install fonts for the languages you need on the destination machine.
|
||||
|
||||
The Windows 7 target matters: modern Rust's ordinary `x86_64-pc-windows-msvc` target
|
||||
requires Windows 10, including standard-library and random-number APIs. Selecting OpenGL
|
||||
alone or changing an installer version check cannot fix that.

||||

and [Windows baseline change](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/02/26/Windows-7/).
|
||||
|
||||
The packaging script checks x64 PE headers, the subsystem version, and known incompatible
|
||||
imports (including `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime`) before creating the ZIP. This is a
|
||||
regression check, not an exhaustive audit of every Windows API.
|
||||
|
||||
The small vendored `windows-link` patch routes `CoTaskMemFree` to its documented
|
||||
`ole32.dll` export on the Windows 7 target; the newer binding otherwise imports
|
||||
`combase.dll`, which is absent on Windows 7. Only this script uses it: it passes
|
||||
`--config "patch.crates-io.windows-link.path='vendor/windows-link'"` to Cargo, so every other
|
||||
build, including the normal Windows one, keeps the checksum-verified crates.io crate. Cargo
|
||||
records the patch in `Cargo.lock`, so the script resolves once, fails if anything other than
|
||||
windows-link's source changed, builds with `--locked`, and then restores `Cargo.lock`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime validation
|
||||
|
||||
The contributor reports that a user ran the portable x64 compatibility build on Windows 7 SP1
|
||||
with an NVIDIA graphics card. Their original build failed at startup with
|
||||
`GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` missing from `kernel32.dll`; the compatibility
|
||||
build resolved that failure. The tested build was based on upstream commit
|
||||
`1f7873273b67007b0aefc63313e0d34a39f45453`. The exact GPU/driver version and completion
|
||||
of every checklist item below were not recorded, and the maintainers have not reproduced it,
|
||||
so the build remains experimental and unsupported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Runtime acceptance checklist
|
||||
|
||||
A successful build on the Windows 2022 CI runner does **not** prove Windows 7 runtime
|
||||
compatibility. Before declaring support, test on a Windows 7 SP1 x64 machine and record
|
||||
its GPU, driver version, Windows updates and any missing-DLL/entry-point error:
|
||||
|
||||
- Start `vectorcraft.exe`; verify a visible canvas, resizing, minimize/restore and exit.
|
||||
- Draw a shape, save a `.vectorcraft` document, close and reopen it.
|
||||
- Open `examples/dusk-poster.vectorcraft`; export PNG and PDF and inspect both.
|
||||
- Exercise native Open/Save dialogs, clipboard text/images and drag-and-drop.
|
||||
- Change a preference, exit and verify it survives restarting.
|
||||
- Run `vectorcraft-cli.exe --version` and a headless export from a Command Prompt in the
|
||||
extracted application folder.
|
||||
|
||||
This build is experimental until that checklist passes. New dependency versions can add
|
||||
newer Windows imports, so retain Cargo.lock and repeat runtime QA after dependency updates.
