XCSoar on Windows CE will be discontinued next year. This operating
system has been obsolete for many years. The XCSoar team has been
providing support for it, which took a good amount of time. Our
interest in pursuing it has been fading away, five years after XCSoar
has been ported to Android.

What will happen:

- the upcoming version 6.8 will drop support for PPC2000 (and maybe
  PPC2003), but will still run on WM5

- the following release (probably 7.0) to be released in 2015 will
  drop all remaining Windows CE ports (including WM5 and Altair)

If you are still using a legacy Windows CE/Mobile/PocketPC device, you
may switch to Android, Kobo or other Linux variants.

(If you disagree with dropping Windows CE, why don't you volunteer and
continue to provide support? XCSoar is free software made by
volunteers in their free time, after all.)
