+> Since we needed to upgrade electron this version drops support for windows 7, 8 and 8.1
+> https://www.electronjs.org/blog/windows-7-to-8-1-deprecation-notice
+> If you are using DC on these platforms you have the following options:
+> - Keep using 1.40.4
+> - update windows to 10 or 11
+> - switch to linux (or dual boot it) 
+> - contact [email protected] if you have money and want to sponsor the development of a special legacy build of deltachat desktop 1.42 for windows 7/8/8.1.
+>
+> - Core is now built on Debian 10: now requires glibc 2.28, so ubuntu 18 is not supported anymore.
