Apache Ozone is an alternative for an object store running on top of Hadoop. Maybe someone who has experience running this in a production environment can comment on it.

Does this version support Windows 7?


They haven't announced supported platforms. They probably won't though. Windows 7 exited extended support more than a year ago, so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped 7.


Text on the website is a combination of SVGs and real characters which are then transformed using CSS. Assets are from /assets/doodles.json which contains information on how they can displayed and animated on a canvas through WebGL using a custom engine from /assets/js/engine.min.js.


I honestly think this is a pretty important part. Why isn't it talked about in the article? Can someone shine a light on this?


Windows 7 support is also dropped in this release. https://bugs.python.org/issue32592


Windows 7 still has 25% market share, apparently, at least according to https://netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.asp... (no clue if that's a reasonable source or not, but probably not TOO ring). Seems a little premature to drop support?


Yeah, but how many of those are developers? I'm sure there are some, but nowhere near 25%.


Windows 7 EOF was January 14, 2020


Windows 7 is supported until 2023.


No, that's Windows 8.1. Windows 7 is toast. See here:

No, Windows 7 is still supported until 2023. At at minimum for all companies that are paying for windows support automatically.

As a consumer, I have an old Windows 7 laptop that I use once a month or less (don't need to travel much lately). I can tell you that it's been continuing to run windows updates all year long after the EOL. It's a major issue for me to use the laptop because it's running updates for hours whenever it's taken out of storage :(


Sucks for some individuals, but I guess those companies paying for support for Windows 7 can do the same for python support if they require it. At some point those volunteering their support probably want move on.
