# Release notes for version 3.5 {#news}

[TOC]


## New features {#features}

### Unlimited mouse buttons {#unlimited_mouse_buttons}

GLFW now has an input mode which allows an unlimited number of mouse buttons to
be reported by the mouse buttton callback, rather than just the associated
[mouse button tokens](@ref buttons). This allows using mouse buttons with
values over 8. For compatibility with older versions, the
@ref GLFW_UNLIMITED_MOUSE_BUTTONS input mode needs to be set to make use of
this.


### EGLConfig native access function {#eglconfig}

GLFW now provides the @ref glfwGetEGLConfig native access function for querying
the `EGLConfig` of a window that has a `EGLSurface`.


### GLXFBConfig native access function {#glxfbconfig}

GLFW now provides the @ref glfwGetGLXFBConfig native access function for
querying the `GLXFBConfig` of a window that has a `GLXWindow`.


## Caveats {#caveats}

## Deprecations {#deprecations}

## Removals {#removals}

### Windows XP and Vista support has been removed {#winxp_vista}

Support for Windows XP and Vista has been removed.  Windows XP has been out of extended
support since 2014.


### Original MinGW support has been removed {#original_mingw}

Support for the now unmaintained original MinGW distribution has been removed.

This does not apply to the much more capable [MinGW-w64](https://www.mingw-w64.org/),
which remains fully supported.  MinGW-w64 can build both 32- and 64-bit binaries, is
actively maintained and available on many platforms.
