32bit support for rel 9.x ?

[cancunia]

Apologies if it's been asked / announced elsewhere, but just wondering if there's likely to be a release of 9.x for older 32bit platforms? I have Moode on my Pi ZeroW, version 8.x works fine but am wondering if I'll start to miss features if I have to stay on 8.

Thanks.

32-bit support was deliberately dropped with Moode 9.x. You either have to stay on version 8.3.9 (which is still working perfectly fine) or replace the hardware to get the new features. The Pi Zero 2W could be a good replacement in your case (same form factor but with 64-bit support).

Regards,

Yes 32-bit releases were discontinued for the 9 series but the decision was not arbitrary. The project simply does not have enough manpower to develop and maintain 32-bit package and image builds along with the 64-bit builds.

If a dev with experience in various compile and make technologies, deb packaging and pi-gen, and an interest in maintaining and supporting 32-bit builds wants to take on the challenge then there is a chance :-)

Thanks, I thought support overhead might be the case. Ver 8.x works fine on my Pi ZeroW and also my original 1B. If I happen to see a Zero 2W for a good price, I'll check out the latest versions.
