@ -53,17 +53,8 @@ For external malloc replacement with musl, musl 1.1.20 is required. However,
there will be custom integration offering better performance in the future
along with other hardening for the C standard library implementation.
Major releases of Android will be supported until tags stop being pushed to
the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). Google supports each major release
with security patches for 3 years, but tagged releases of the Android Open
Source Project are more than just security patches and are no longer pushed
once no officially supported devices are using them anymore. For example, at
the time of writing (September 2018), AOSP only has tagged releases for 8.1
(Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Pixel C) and 9.0 (Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL).
There are ongoing security patches for 6.0, 6.0.1, 7.0, 7.1.1, 7.1.2, 8.0, 8.1
and 9.0 but only the active AOSP branches (8.1 and 9.0) are supported by this
project and it doesn't make much sense to use much older releases with far
less privacy and security hardening.
For Android, only current generation Android Open Source Project branches will
be supported, which currently means pie-qpr2-release.
