Hi all,
I've seen a few mails on this list lately about some backwards incompatible changes coming to VTK (TextAnalysis move, vtkstd::) and it got me wondering...
What is the minimum Mac OS X that VTK should support? Can we increase the minimum? There's a lot of cruft in there to support old versions, and the need to support old versions prevents (or complicates) using newer API.
Here's a little table to help us decide...
10.4 - release Apr 2005
10.5 - release Oct 2007 - last to support PowerPC hardware
10.6 - release Aug 2009 - last to support 32bit Intel hardware
10.7 - release July 2011 - requires 64 bit Intel hardware
10.8 - release summer 2012?
Cheers,
--
