 ## Compatibility
 
 * Compilers:
-  - rustc 1.82+ (as part of the Rust toolchain, available at [rustup.rs]);
+  - rustc (as part of the Rust toolchain, available at [rustup.rs]). The officially supported version is the most recent stable. Older versions may work, but we don't guarantee that.
   - any reasonable C/C++ compiler, such as GCC or Clang (for tests & examples).
