Mac OS X version min requirements
Posted: 20.09.2006, 15:42
Until now, I've tried to keep the OS X version of Celestia backward compatible up to OS X version 10.2.
It's been over 4 years since the release of OS X 10.2 however, and I'd like to move the minimum required version of OS X, for Celestia, up to at least 10.3.9.
Hopefully I don't need to explain that 10.2 is well, ancient, not only in terms of age but also in terms of OpenGL support.
One thing I would like to know however, is do schools still routinely run OS X 10.2? I have no idea, but it'd be useful to know.
Note for users compiling their own versions:
For anyone interested in compatibility with 10.3.8 and older, I'll leave around legacy build targets. However, the main release build targets will be migrated. Universal builds will no longer require the 10.2 SDK when building, but will still produce apps that run on 10.3.9, 10.4.x, and hopefully 10.5.
