Since Go 1.21, Go drops support for Windows 7, 8, Server 2008 and Server 2012. See https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.20#windows.

As for this project, v1.16.x is the last release that will run on those old Windows versions. Please note that we only release new versions to fix bugs.

This issue is used to track the v1.16.x releases.
