[section Notes for Windows users]
Boost.WinAPI has been updated to target Windows 7 by default, where possible. In previous releases
Windows Vista was the default.
Boost.WinAPI is used internally as the Windows SDK abstraction layer in a number
of Boost libraries, including Boost.Beast, Boost.Chrono, Boost.DateTime, Boost.Dll, Boost.Log,
Boost.Process, Boost.Stacktrace, Boost.System, Boost.Thread and Boost.UUID. To select the target
Windows version define `BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION` to the numeric version similar to `_WIN32_WINNT`
while compiling Boost and user's code. For example:
[pre
b2 release define=BOOST_USE_WINAPI_VERSION=0x0501 stage
]
The list of Windows API version numbers can be seen on
[@https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6sehtctf.aspx this] page.
