| 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. | |

| 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. | |
