[WLANware] [ANNOUNCE] Gluon v2020.2.x End of life

[Andreas Ziegler]

The Gluon framework's v2020.2.x branch has reached its end of life.
We have stopped maintaining it and will not create a release based on
this branch anymore.

Updating to the v2021.1.x release series is the recommended course of
action, please read the release notes of all releases starting with
v2020.1 carefully as some deprecated features have been removed. We also
introduced ways to deal with these feature removals.
Also note, that updates from before v2018.2 to v2021.1.x are not supported.
You really need to do an intermediate update to a release based on the 
v2020.2.x branch, if you're still on firmware based on a older release 
than v2018.2.
Keep in mind that this also applies to devices that may not have been 
updated yet because of being offline or so. A solution may be to ship a 
new autoupdater-path with the v2020.2.x based release, so that older 
firmware releases will always do a two-step update. There are also 
communities using a new path for each major release to work around 
similar issues.

You can find documentation about the release life cycle of the Gluon
branches on the GitHub Wiki:
