normal font: compatible
[archived]: this version of Tobago is archived and not under active development
[retro]: use the JDK 1.4 retro version (available for Tobago 1.0.41 and before)
[ext]: add the tobago-facelets extension
[int]: since Tobago 2.0 and JSF 2.0 Facelets are integrated in JSF
[tbd]: to be defined (this information is unsettled and may change)
[lim]: these old browsers are generally supported, but may have weak appearance
[facelets only]: it works with facelets, but not with JSP, because JSF 1.2 requires JSP 2.1
[other servers]: other servers should work, when they are compliant to the named specifications
[latest]: all browser supported by Bootstrap 4 are supported, these are usually the latest, stable releases
[other browsers]: other browsers should work, in their actual version, when they are standard compliant to HTML 4 and CSS 2.1
[no release]: Using Tobago 1.5 with JSF 1.1 is currently not part of the release, but can be build from the sources with mvn -Pjsf-1.1
[disable vh]: Tobago 1.5 works with JSF 2.0 when you are disable the Facelets ViewHandler from JSF 2.0 and using the original Facelets:
