rust9x-1.76-beta-v5

rust9x-1.76-beta-v4

Installation notes

Fixes:

• Fix console input relying on a Vista-and-up flag. This flag is now fully disabled on 9x/ME, but still used on NT. If the call fails indicating that the flag is not supported, it is retried without the flag. (#18)

rust9x-1.76.0-beta-v2

Installation notes

Fixes:

• "Fix" assertion failure on 9x/Me when writing UTF8 characters to console that Windows/unicows didn't know about yet. Emojis are too new for those ol' systems!
  • It now allows for unknown characters to just be dropped or replaced with replacement characters when writing to the console.
  • On 9x/Me, unicows actually implemented the CP_UTF8 codepage conversion.
• "Fix" #13 - For now we're just hoping that console writes of up to 8KiB are always fine :^) A proper fix is tracked in #14.
  • The workaround only applies to non-Unicode Windows (9x/Me)
