Quartus II 13.1 CPLD device support

Since this info is in the same vein, I'll post it inline (I received this yesterday)

Dear Altera University Program Member:

We are writing to provide some important information about the released versions of Altera's Quartus II software, and whether these versions support the Altera University Program Development and Education FPGA boards that are used by many universities.

Quartus II version 13.0sp1 supports all Altera University Program FPGA boards, which includes: DE0, DE0-Nano, DE1, DE2, DE2-115, DE3, DE4, and DE5-Net. Although new versions of the Quartus II software will be developed and released each year by Altera, Quartus II V13.0sp1 will continue to be maintained and updated for the foreseeable future. Universities that are using the DE1 and/or DE2 boards should continue to use Quartus II V13.0sp1, as explained below.

The Quartus II software starting from version 13.1 does not include support for the Cyclone II family of FPGAs, which are used on the DE1 and DE2 boards. This is the reason why universities that are using the DE1/DE2 boards should continue to use Quartus II V13.0sp1. As mentioned above, Quartus II V13.0sp1 will continue to be provided, updated, and maintained for the foreseeable future, and will thus continue to provide full support for the DE1 and DE2 boards. (Note that the DE2-115 board uses the Cyclone IV family, and so is not affected.)

Finally, we would like to inform you that starting in Quartus II version 14.0 there will no longer be support for 32-bit computers (Quartus II V14.0 can only be used on 64 bit computers), and also there will no longer be support for the Cyclone III devices (used on DE0 boards), and Stratix III devices (used on DE3 boards). Users of the DE0 and DE3 boards should continue to use Quartus II V13.1, or earlier.
