Latest version of QB64PE or QB64 compatible with Windows XP (32-bit)?

I think that's misleading, the `2.0` major version bump was because of the recursive function change. Windows XP support was 'officially' dropped in `2.0.1`, but was also accidentally broken in `2.0.0`. That said I still make a distinction between the `2.0.0` "broken" and my `3.5.0` change because in `2.0.0` it was just specific functionality related to fonts, where-as in `3.5.0` it's every program and unavoidable. There's also a specific XP-compatible `2.0.1` release that could be used.

Does QB64PE need Windows 10 & newer, or would it run on Windows 7 or 8?
Currently we target Windows 7 and up. It's possible we work on Vista but I believe something is broken on it.
