Revision as of 05:55, 9 December 2022

(This is a work in progress that will be made into a proper wiki page at some point. It exists to record features Dolphin has removed, why they were removed, and when was the last version they were in Dolphin, in order to aid anyone who wants to explore an old feature for whatever reason. Feel free to use my discussion for any suggestions or help you'd like to give! Also it is not sorted in any particular order just yet, I need to figure out what order I want it to be in by default. For now I'm just focused on getting data in my spare time.)

(Problems - final version column does not sort correctly)

This is a list of major features and support that Dolphin has been dropped. It for those who want to revisit and explore legacy features that we have moved on from.
