6 (P)NaCl Deprecation Announcements | |
7 --------------------------------- | |
8 | |
9 We recently announced the deprecation of Portable NativeClient | |
10 as well as the deprecation of | |
11 `Chrome Apps | |
12 <https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.html>`_ | |
13 outside of ChromeOS. | |
14 As a result, in the near future, PNaCl will no longer be supported in Chrome. | |

15 And NaCl will be supported only in the context of ChromeOS and Extensions. | |

17 We appreciate the investment you've made bringing native code to the Web | |

Done.

18 with these pioneering solutions, but have now refocused our efforts | |
19 on the cross browser `WebAssembly <http://webassembly.org>`_ standard | |
20 in order to bring similar functionality to the Web in general. | |
21 While WebAssembly currently cannot match all of (P)NaCl's capabilities, | |
22 we are working to expand its capabilities in tandem with other | |
23 browsers, and believe most use cases will soon be covered. | |
24 | |
25 | |
26 Toolchain Migration | |
27 ------------------- | |
28 | |
29 For the majority of (P)NaCl uses cases we recommend transitioning | |
30 from the NaCl SDK to `Emscripten | |
31 <http://webassembly.org/getting-started/developers-guide/>`_. | |
32 While direct support for NaCl / Pepper APIs in not available, | |
33 we've attempted to list equivalents. | |
34 Migration is likely to be reasonably straightforward | |
35 if your application is portable to Linux, uses | |
36 `SDL <https://www.libsdl.org/>`_, or POSIX APIs. | |

41 API Migration | |
42 ------------- | |
43 | |
44 We've outlined here the status of Web Platform substitutes for each | |
45 of the APIs exposed to (P)NaCl. | |
46 Additionally, the table lists the library or option in Emscripten | |
47 that offers the closest substitute. | |
48 | |
49 We expect to add shared memory threads support to WebAssembly in 2017, | |
50 as threads are crucial to matching (P)NaCl's most interesting use | |
51 cases. Migration items which assume forthcoming threads support | |
52 are marked below. If your application's flow control relies heavily on blocking | |
53 APIs, you may also find threads support is required for convenient porting. | |
54 | |
55 While we've tried to be accurate in this table, | |
56 there are no doubt errors or omissions. | |
