Exactly, and every reference to Windows.h is with W. AFAIR, it was > always like this.

I misunderstood the intent of what you we're saying. Whatever commits do, whatever MinGW does, fact is that Windows.h is capitalized (and always has been).

Your "always" doesn't go far back enough. It's capitalized in VS2005, and I have no earlier versions here to check, but my memory tells me that there was a time it wasn't. Borland 5.5.1 doesn't capitalize it, and windowsx.h is not capitalized in the Platform SDK. Plus, all Windows programming examples and books I remember used #include , without capitalization.

Yes, as far as I remember (AFAIR), which is the context of "always". My English has "always" been a bit broken. All in all, this is a non-issue on Windows, and I failed to catch the problem before it reached master with my CI. It is good that this has been caught before the release. Does anyone cross-compile for Windows on Travis? Raffi
