Re: Website known system issues page

 

I'm guessing we should add a caveat that the known system issues apply
to the 5.1 release or later unless there is a reason to keep the
information around for older releases.  Since we no longer support the 5
branch and older, I cannot think of a reason to keep the obsolete
information.

We still have the legacy canvas on 5.1 windows builds which is not an
issue so maybe that section should be moved from "All Platforms" to "Linux".

Since we now refer to the GAL canvas as the modern canvas, we should
avoid using the term GAL.

Maybe but we are probably no worse off leaving it in for users who
prefer older stable Linux distros and still build from source.
