  • wrong label for "Alternate 1 QNH Arrival" infobox

7.5.1

• Android edge-to-edge rendering support
• Fixed PCX64 Version

7.5.0

Anouncement

This version of LK8000 is the last compatible with Windows CE (WinCE).

Why this decision?

Windows CE is an old operating system that has not been maintained by Microsoft for many years.
Maintaining WinCE compatibility now represents:

• A significant maintenance burden
• Technical limitations hindering code evolution
• Increasing difficulties with compilation and testing tools

All this while there is no longer compatible hardware available on the market.

To continue evolving LK8000, improving performance, and adding new features, development is now focused on actively supported platforms.
