D indicates a version that is still supported, but is deprecated.
1 The use of IE with PhixFlow version 7.0 onwards (i.e. with the Javascript GUI) is not recommended. The GUI has full functionality in this browser, but does not perform as well as in Chrome and Firefox.
From From PhixFlow version 8.3.0, Microsoft Edge Chromium is supported instead of IE.
2 We support all versions of Chrome and Firefox released in the 2 years prior to the release date. The versions tested at the time of each release are listed here. Should you have any problems with an earlier version than that listed, but within 2 years of the release date, or a later version than that listed, please contact the PhixFlow support desk.
3 Adoptium Temurin is the new name for AdoptOpenJDK; see Adoptium - Open source, prebuilt OpenJDK binaries.

5 MS SQL Server 2016 no longer has mainstream support. 2017 will stop receiving mainstream support at the end of 2022. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/end-of-support/sql-server-end-of-support-overview?view=sql-server-ver16#lifecycle-dates
