Explanation of values for the “Status” column:
- Removed: No longer available in the current version (or the version indicated).
- Deprecated: Should no longer be used and will be removed in a future major version.
- OS: Depends on officially deprecated OS technologies (e.g.: PICT format). Status is the same as Deprecated, but an OS could remove the support before we do.
