I'm about to pull the trigger on a large patch series that (finally) removes all support for the original devices Rockbox was created to support; namely the old Archos models:
Archos Player/Jukebox/Studio
Archos Recorder
Archos FM Recorder
Archos Recorder v2
Archos Ondio SP
Archos Ondio FM
Going forward, there will be no more daily builds or any further
consideration given to continuing to maintain the Archos platform and
the infrastructure that exists solely to support it. This includes the
entire sh architecture, non-bitmap LCDs, buttonbars, HWCODEC support,
and the many, many special cases littered all over the codebase and
hosting infrastructure.
In practical terms, this doesn't really affect any users as the Archos
targets have been not seen any new feature developments for some time.
Indeed, the Recorder v1 hasn't been buildable since the end of 2013!
However, past releases continue to work as well as they ever have, and
will remain available for download indefinitely, both via the web site
and the rockbox utility.
It's the end of an era. I feel we should have some sort of ceremony or
something...
