Obsolete Implementations

NOTE: Due to the long gap after draft-04, many projects that implemented that draft became inactive by the time draft-06 was published, or are looking for new contributors to move forward. Such projects are listed here

For implementations supporting (or actively working towards) draft-06 or later, see the main Implementations page.

Projects supporting only draft-03 or earlier are no longer listed.
