It seems like v0.4.4 is the very last one that still supports Windows 2000
Could you add a note somewhere? Especially as a release note to https://github.com/jrfonseca/drmingw/releases/tag/0.4.4

I don't recall what changed afterwards that broke Windows 2000. Anyway I'm not interested in maintaining Windows 2000 compatibility (keeping XP support is already hard enough). So I've updated the release notes as you suggested. Thanks

Just a follow up on what changed after 0.4.4:

  • 0.5.1 started to require AddVectoredExceptionHandler in KERNEL32.dll
  • 0.6.5 onwards also requires a newer dbghelp.dll (W2k got dbghelp 5.0)
    As they started to make use of these functions:
    • EnumDirTree (since dbghelp 6.2)
    • EnumDirTreeW (since dbghelp 6.3)
    • EnumerateLoadedModulesW64 (since dbghelp 6.6)
    • SymSetScopeFromAddr (since dbghelp 6.8 which doesn't run on W2k)
