-===== For Windows (32-bit x86) ===== +===== Static Analysis =====
-  * Latest successfully built code (nightly): ''[[ftp://bbs.synchro.net/Synchronet/sbbs_src.zip|sbbs_src.zip]]'' +
-  * Latest release (v3.16c) ''[[ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/ssrc316c.zip|ssrc316c.zip]]''+
  
-===== For Linux ===== +The Synchronet project is statically-analyzed for defects nightly (using a Linux-x64 build). See http://scan.coverity.com/projects/synchronet for details.

-  * Latest release (v3.16c) ''[[ftp://vert.synchro.net/Synchronet/ssrc316c.tgz|ssrc316c.tgz]]''+Windows binaries are built targeting 32-bit x86 ("Win32") and are intended to be compatible with PCs (or VMs) running Microsoft Windows XP (SP3) and later. We use a combination of Microsoft Visual Studio/C++ (for the majority) and Borland (for a few GUI components) build/make systems.

 +===== UNIX ===== 
 +All non-Windows systems supported are UNIX-Like (e.g. Linux, FreeBSD) operating systems running on 32-bit or 64-bit Intel/AMD-compatible x86 processors and some 32-bit or 64-bit little-endian ARM processors. We use GNU Make as the build system though some included (and built-from-source) 3rd party libraries (e.g. cryptlib and libmozjs) might use more complicated build systems, e.g. requiring Perl or Python.
