However, critical security vulnerabilities in dependencies or other unanticipated circumstances may arise which necessitate breaking compatibility earlier. + +We intend to continue producing .deb packages for Debian 9 (Stretch) and Ubuntu 16.04 (Xenial) through the transition period. + Removal warning --------------- @@ -12,6 +124,15 @@ are deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
