From 8b30360322d4de6687e17ab267a856db4e3c78a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Carlton Gibson Date: Fri, 28 Feb 2020 12:39:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fixed #31032 -- Updated admin browser support FAQ for 2020. Following web standards, the modern _evergreen_ browsers are all supported. This applies equally to mobile platforms. Assuming current trends continue, this should be a sustainable policy. Microsoft deprecated all versions of Internet Explorer. IE 11, the last version, is described as a "compatibility solution" rather than a web browser. Whilst it will receive security updates for the lifetime of Windows 10 it's use is actively discouraged. The IE 11 downloads page makes it clear: "We recommend you use the new Microsoft Edge". --- docs/faq/admin.txt | 16 ++++++++++------ docs/releases/3.1.txt | 6 ++++++ docs/spelling_wordlist | 1 + 3 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/faq/admin.txt b/docs/faq/admin.txt index 1e96def9a9..ea9690bbe6 100644 --- a/docs/faq/admin.txt +++ b/docs/faq/admin.txt @@ -94,14 +94,18 @@ presentation by editing the CSS stylesheet and/or associated image files.
