Join us in our [![Matrix](https://img.shields.io/badge/Matrix-%23rust--windowing%3Amatrix.org-blueviolet.svg)](https://matrix.to/#/#rust-windowing:matrix.org) room.

The maintainers have a meeting every friday at UTC 15. The meeting notes can be found [here](https://hackmd.io/@winit-meetings).

## Usage

Winit is a window creation and management library. It can create windows and lets you handle

events (for example: the window being resized, a key being pressed, a mouse movement, etc.)

produced by the window.

Winit is designed to be a low-level brick in a hierarchy of libraries. Consequently, in order to

show something on the window you need to use the platform-specific getters provided by winit, or

another library.

## MSRV Policy

This crate's Minimum Supported Rust Version (MSRV) is **1.73**. Changes to

the MSRV will be accompanied by a minor version bump.

As a **tentative** policy, the upper bound of the MSRV is given by the following

formula:

```

min(sid, stable - 3)

```

Where `sid` is the current version of `rustc` provided by [Debian Sid], and

`stable` is the latest stable version of Rust. This bound may be broken in case of a major ecosystem shift or a security vulnerability.

[Debian Sid]: https://packages.debian.org/sid/rustc

An exception is made for the Android platform, where a higher Rust version

must be used for certain Android features. In this case, the MSRV will be

capped at the latest stable version of Rust minus three. This inconsistency is

not reflected in Cargo metadata, as it is not powerful enough to expose this

restriction.

Redox OS is also not covered by this MSRV policy, as it requires a Rust nightly

toolchain to compile.

All crates in the [`rust-windowing`] organizations have the

same MSRV policy.
