We are planning to **remove** the workaround completely after Themis 0.9.6 reaches end-of-life in December 2020. Please use this time to migrate existing data if you have been using Themis 0.9.6. To migrate the data, decrypt it and encrypt it back with the latest Themis version.

- <a id="0.13.0-big-endian">Themis is known to be broken on big-endian architectures</a> ([#623](https://github.com/cossacklabs/themis/pull/623), [#592](https://github.com/cossacklabs/themis/pull/592)).

Themis has never committed to supporting machines with big-endian architectures.
However, it was expected to accidentally work to some degree on such machines,
with certain compatibility restrictions on interaction with little-endian machines.

Recent changes in Themis Core are known to introduce compatibility issues on big-endian architectures.
