Hi all, I've noticed that the build configuration for DirectX11.1 has been removed. Why is that so? Now the default for Windows 7 is DirectX11.0. However a subset of DirectX11.1 is available also for Windows 7.

Most importantly, Direct2D 1.1 and other D3D features cannot be used from Windows 7 anymore.

Would it be possible to reintroduce a DX 11.1 build configuration for W7? Or is it still possible to target DX11.1 in some other way from W7?

As DirectX11.2 is a superset of DirectX11.1, you should be able use it from Windows 7, but you just can't use features introduced specifically for 11.2.
