I think this is unlikely to be caused by the Rust compiler. The most likely explanation would be the crate you're using has switched from winapi to windows-sys.

But I don't understand why this happens in version 0.26.0.

[ChrisDenton]

You would have to ask them that.

Damn. Alright, I think that this issue is not relevant. I close it.
