This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Comp.arch (talk | contribs) at 11:06, 9 April 2018 (a) SableVM is "Unmaintained" so I put such discontinued in italics and also: b) Kaffe has slightly newer 1.1.10-pre" (but do not update as prerelease), with NEWS file 10 years old so I declare it "unmaintained" to: https://github.com/kaffe/kaffe c) "After almost fifteen years I have decided to quit working on IKVM.NET. [..] I hope someone will fork IKVM.NET and continue working on it." JAmiga is probably dead to, at least for Amiga platform,didn't look into "their" github from WP). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.
