ChakraCore releases will be unavailable after 5/31/2024

[atulkatti]

The storage infrastructure for the ChakraCore releases is going away. As a result, the ChakraCore release downloads will not be available after 5/31/2024.

See details here: github.com/microsoft/ChakraCore-wiki/blob/master/Roadmap.md

Thank you for this notification - I actually had assumed (without checking) that Microsoft would have taken down those releases some time ago.

@ppenzin FYI, if we want them for reference we should save copies of the last official CC releases within the next month.

There are still some projects using the legacy download structure.
We could download the binaries and attach them directly to the GitHub Releases.
(Including a deprecation warning)

This sounds like a good idea; I suppose we should also inform those projects.

@ppenzin maybe we could combine this action (re-hosting the last MS release and telling people who use it) with announcing a forthcoming non-MS release?

[ppenzin]

I think we should do that, though not sure how many releases we need to download

[ShortDevelopment]

Only the last 2 seem to be still available

FWIW you can ignore the one in neoSphere - the engine hasn't been able to compile against 1.11 for a couple years due to needing top-level await support (ReportModuleCompletionCallback). I need to get rid of that makefile target and just direct people to build CC themselves.
