# On Windows, we explicitly request MSVC compilers (as GitHub Action runners have

# MinGW on PATH that would be picked otherwise), switch to a static build for

# runtimes, but use dynamic linking for `VCRUNTIME140.dll`, `VCRUNTIME140_1.dll`,

# and the UCRT. This avoids requiring specific versions of `MSVCP140.dll`, while

# keeping shared state with the rest of the Python process/extensions.

API Changes for 3.9.2

Development

Windows wheel runtime bundling made static

In 3.7.0, the MSVC runtime DLL was bundled in wheels to enable importing Matplotlib on

systems that do not have it installed. However, this could cause inconsistencies with

other wheels that did the same, and trigger random crashes depending on import order. See

`this issue <https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/28551>`_ for further

details.

Since 3.9.2, wheels now bundle the MSVC runtime DLL statically to avoid such issues.
