This section in the documentation is about language standards and reference to those standards. hsafoundation.com literally has been dead for a while, and there is not (evident) other location where the standard appears vailable. Also, wasn't the latest version 1.0.3 whereas our doc snippet still referred to 1.0.1. > Given the state of HSAIL, the front-end is probably not very useful > either and so we may remove it in near term too, but it seems to still > mostly work and causes no trouble, so at least for now it stayed. > > Can you please revert this? A simple revert does not appear appropriate, but if you have a strong preference and see a benefit for our users, we surely can put something back in again. In that case, should the version updated to 1.0.3? Apart from that and the defunct web site, what are other changes compared to the status pre commit 7e999bd84f47205dc44b0f2dc90b53b3c888ca48 ? Can you propose some text / changes taking into account the deprecation and related developments? Can be rough, and I'll take care of the patch. Gerald
