For reference, the commits and dates when each machine-type was added are below: machine commit commit date release release date pc-0.10 e8b2a1c6 Jul 8 2009 v0.11.0 Sep 22 2009 pc-0.13 95747581 Jul 22 2009 v0.12.0 Dec 19 2009 pc-0.12 2cae6f5e Jan 8 2010 v0.13.0 Oct 14 2010 pc-0.13 d76fa62d Feb 15 2010 v0.13.0 Oct 14 2010 pc-0.14 b903a0f7 Nov 11 2010 v0.14.0 Feb 16 2011 pc-0.15 ce01a508 Dec 18 2011 v1.1.0 Jun 1 2012 pc-1.0 19857e62 Nov 7 2011 v1.0 Dec 1 2011 pc-1.1 382b3a68 Feb 21 2012 v1.1.0 Jun 1 2012 pc-1.2 f1dacf1c Jun 11 2012 v1.2.0 Sep 5 2012 pc-1.3 f4306941 Sep 13 2012 v1.3.0 Dec 3 2012 pc-*-1.4 f1ae2e38 Dec 4 2012 v1.4.0 Feb 15 2013 pc-*-1.5 bf3caa3d Feb 8 2013 v1.5.0 May 20 2013 pc-*-1.6 45053fde May 27 2013 v1.6.0 Aug 15 2013 pc-*-1.7 e9845f09 Aug 2 2013 v1.7.0 Nov 27 2013 pc-*-2.0 aeca6e8d Dec 2 2013 v2.0.0 Apr 17 2014 pc-*-2.1 3458b2b0 Apr 24 2014 v2.1.0 Aug 1 2014 pc-*-2.2 f9f21873 Jul 30 2014 v2.2.0 Dec 9 2014 pc-*-2.3 64bbd372 Dec 5 2014 v2.3.0 Apr 24 2015 pc-*-2.4 5cb50e0a Apr 23 2015 v2.4.0 Aug 11 2015 pc-*-2.5 87e896ab Sep 11 2015 v2.5.0 Dec 16 2015 pc-*-2.6 240240d5 Nov 30 2015 v2.6.0 May 11 2016 pc-*-2.7 d86c1451 May 17 2016 v2.7.0 Sep 2 2016 pc-*-2.8 a4d3c834 Sep 7 2016 - - --=20 Eduardo
