+• رفع باگ "binary i686 ویندوز روی Windows 7 ۳۲ بیتی load نمی‌شه" ([#318](https://github.com/therealaleph/MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST/issues/318)، [#323](https://github.com/therealaleph/MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST/pull/323)): از Rust 1.78 (می ۲۰۲۴) std `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` (Win8+) رو به‌جای `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime` (Win2k+) کرد، و این نیاز کرد binary ویندوز ۳۲ بیتی از kernel32 یه export که تو Win7 وجود نداره use کنه. binary v1.7.7/v1.7.8 با خطای `the procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciseAsFile could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll` روی Win7 SP1 بسته می‌شد. **Fix:** فقط target `i686-pc-windows-msvc` رو در workflow CI به Rust 1.77.2 (آخرین stable Win7-compatible) pin کردیم. سایر targets روی stable می‌مونن. این یعنی artifact `mhrv-rs-windows-i686.zip` در v1.7.9 روی Win7 SP1 ۳۲ بیتی load می‌شه. ممنون از @Im-P3dro برای گزارش

+• Fix "i686 Windows binary fails to load on Windows 7 32-bit" ([#318](https://github.com/therealaleph/MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST/issues/318), [#323](https://github.com/therealaleph/MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST/pull/323)): Rust 1.78 (May 2024) raised std's Windows MSRV from Win7 to Win10 by switching `std::time` to `GetSystemTimePreciseAsFileTime` (Win8+ in kernel32) instead of the older `GetSystemTimeAsFileTime`. The v1.7.7 and v1.7.8 i686 Windows binaries failed to load on Win7 SP1 with `the procedure entry point GetSystemTimePreciseAsFile could not be located in the dynamic link library kernel32.dll`, defeating the entire reason that target ships (legacy Win7 32-bit boxes per #272). **Fix:** pin only the `i686-pc-windows-msvc` CI matrix entry to Rust 1.77.2 (the last stable that targets Win7); every other target stays on `@stable`. The `mhrv-rs-windows-i686.zip` artifact in v1.7.9 once again loads on Win7 SP1. Thanks @Im-P3dro for the report.
