Canoeboot has been discontinued, replaced by the new RBoot project. Same zero-blob policy, and the same maintainer, but with new design goals. For example, it standardises on use of EDK2 UEFI payload for most boards. It is a clean, legacy-free fork of Canoeboot.

Canoeboot’s website and source code archives of releases shall be preserved for historical purposes, ditto Git repositories.
