+Supported platforms
+-------------------
+
+Cowboy is tested and supported on Linux.
+
+Cowboy has been reported to work on other platforms, but we make no
+guarantee that the experience will be safe and smooth. You are advised
+to perform the necessary testing and security audits prior to deploying
+on other platforms.
+
+Cowboy is developed for Erlang R15B+.
+
+Cowboy may be compiled on earlier Erlang versions with small source code
+modifications but there is no guarantee that it will work as expected.
