OS support?[edit]

In the text it is said it is for "GNU/Linux/Unix" platforms, and the infobox says "Linux and MacOSX". However, on the website I cannot find any reference to other OS-es (the site is quite confusing though), and it mentions only Linux and Linux framebuffer. Therefore, if someone doesn't know better, it seems to me that every other OS reference should be removed from the article (actually I think GNU can be removed anyway because DFB doesn't really has anything to do with its software layer).

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on DirectFB. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.directfb.net/
Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20141018073321/http://directfb.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_DirectFB to http://directfb.org/wiki/index.php/Configuring_DirectFB
Added {{dead link}} tag to http://www.directfb.net/

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Abandoned project[edit]

In 2021 there has not been a new release since +6 years. It should be mentioned in the main article that the project is no longer active, IMO. 2A02:8388:1604:F600:3AD5:47FF:FE18:CC7F (talk) 22:15, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
