<br>
Does anybody care about Mac OS X 10.6 support anymore?<br>
<br>
There are no longer any dashboards testing it automatically, and there are some burdensome workarounds in the codebase to support it.<br>
<br>
Anyone object to its removal?, as per this patch:<br>

<br>
(Apple no longer even releases security updates for 10.6, so using it is a bad idea in general.)<br></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Yeah, Apple dropped support for it about 5 years ago... we upgraded our last 10.6 machine around a year ago, and have been using a deployment target of 10.7 since then.</div><div><br></div><div>I mentioned it in the MR, but I'll mention it again here: a reason why people might not want to upgrade a Mac past 10.6 is that PowerPC apps will not run on later versions of OS X. It was awesome to be able to run old PowerPC apps on an Intel Mac, I had a nice little viewer that I had to retire when I upgraded.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div><br></div><div> - David</div></font></span></div><br></div></div>
