+## MSRV
+
+The `naga` codebase's MSRV is 1.43. However some newer versions of our dependencies have newer MSRVs than that. Here are a list of all known MSRV breaking dependencies and the versions that hold to MSRV.
+
+- `bitflags`: `>1.3` have an MSRV of 1.46. `<=1.2` has an MSRV of 1.43 or earlier.
+
+If you want to use `naga` with `1.43` add the following to your Cargo.toml dependency list even if you don't use bitflags yourself:
+
+```toml
+bitflags = "<1.3"
+```
