Other

  • The wiki page about supported platforms has been updated, as it had been neglected for a while. Notable changes:
    • Debian 11 was added, kicking out Debian 9 (no policy changes)
    • The CentOS/RHEL support policy was changed, since there no longer are matching CentOS and RHEL regular releases. This means that RHEL support cannot be guaranteed and the only CentOS version that is officially supported is CentOS Stream (and CentOS 8 until it will be EOL on December 31st)
    • Ubuntu 21.10 was added and Ubuntu 18.04 was removed (no policy changes)
    • FreeBSD 13.0 was added, kicking out FreeBSD 11.x; 12.x versions older than 12.2 are unsupported (no policy changes)
    • macOS 10.15, 11 and 12 have been added, kicking out macOS 10.13 and 10.14. GCC (latest version installed through Homebrew) is also supported as an alternative to Clang shipped with XCode. The total amount of supported versions has been increased from 2 to 3.
    • The currently supported OpenBSD version has been updated to 7.0 (no policy changes)
    • The currently supported NetBSD version has been updated to 9.2 (no policy changes)
    • The currently supported Raspberry Pi OS version has been updated to 11 (bullseye). The supported distribution is now labeled Raspberry Pi OS, rather than Raspbian, following the official naming.
    • Windows 11 21H2, Windows 10 21H2, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server v.20H2 and Windows Server 2022 were added. No policy changes but a note was added to discourage running Hercules on Windows on production servers.
