Platform Support

Support for testing different platforms (build “targets” and operating systems) is governed by the Platform Policy.

Tested platforms can be thought of as “guaranteed to work”. Automated testing ensures that each tested platform builds and passes tests after each change to the upstream binaries.

The following table contains the set of testing platform configurations that binary providers can make use of as part of their own workflows.

“End of Support” dates are the latest currently-known date after which the platform will be removed. These dates are subject to change.
