# Unsupported Platforms

Platforms listed for v6.3.x-v6.5.x should also work with v7.0, but we did not receive explicit confirmation of such at the time this list was compiled. We include these here to let you know that these platforms could be supported if given some attention.

At the time of publication, the following platforms have not been tested for v7.0 or v6.5.x:

There are a few platforms which have been attempted and which have been reported to not work with the standard distribution. Others listed here do not provide sufficient library support for an attempt.
