Hi all,

some ffeling on
our user base.
In November we had following Mac Users visiting our pages (total of
187.059 users):
01. Macintosh Intel 10.15 57,41 %
02. Macintosh Intel 10.13 14,01 %
03. Macintosh Intel 10.14 9,43 %
04. Macintosh Intel 10.11 5,41 %
05. Macintosh Intel 11.0 4,15 %
06. Macintosh Intel 10.12 4,01 %
07. Macintosh Intel 10.10 2,11 %
08. Macintosh Intel 10.16 1,14 %
09. Macintosh Intel 10.9 0,89 %
10. Macintosh Intel 10.6 0,54 %
11. Macintosh Intel 10.7 0,50 %
12. Macintosh Intel 10.8 0,30 %
13. Macintosh PPC 10.4 0,02 %
14. Macintosh Intel 10.5 0,02 %
15. Macintosh Intel 11.1 0,02 %
16. Macintosh PPC 10.5 0,01 %
17. Macintosh Intel 10.4 0,01 %
18. Macintosh Intel 10.0 0,01 %
19. Macintosh Intel 0,00 %
20. Macintosh PPC 0,00 %
21. Macintosh (not set) 0,00 %
22. Macintosh PPC 10.11 0,00 %
23. Macintosh PPC 10.6 0,00 %
(The 0% entry means one occurence)
Overall we have visitors of
11 - 10.9 = 98,58%
10.8 - 10.07 = 0,8% (This is about 1500 users GA tracked)
10.7 and lower = 0,62%
Interesting that some PPC users still visit.
All the Best

Hi Jim,

Up to now, we've held 10.7 as the oldest version of OS X AOO is supported on.
Even with 4.2.x this is still the case.
However, if we allow for 10.9 to be the "oldest", we can help include some capabilities
that we can't right now. For example, our support of RTTI and _si_class_type_info is pretty meager
on macOS, due to that only being available starting w/ a 10.9 SDK and this impacts "our"
full support of UNO.
So I am wondering if maybe we should, to go along w/ CentOS7 as our base community
builds, "upgrade" to 10.9 for our macOS ones.
I agree. We only lose a few Mac hardware versions from around 2007-2008 by
dropping 10.7 and 10.8 support.
I found a good listing on this page:
https://jimmytechsf.com/what-system-software-can-my-mac-run/
BTW - only one model that supports 10.9 cannot be upgraded to 10.11 (A MacPro
4,1 (Early 2009))
So, a minimum version of 10.10 is nearly the same as a minimum version of 10.9
and it is possible to download Yosemite, but Mavericks is unavailable.
Some earlier Macs can be hacked to support 10.7, but it requires either a new
Intel chip or more memory.
I think that 4.1.8 can be offered anyone who cannot upgrade to 10.9 or better.
Alternatively, we could produce 2 macOS packages: one for 10.8 and older and
one for 10.9 and newer. In fact, I even noticed that the download page still
has the *logic* for 2 macOS DMGs to be available...
It’s really hard to keep around a 10.7 machine to test. (At least for me.) All
of the browsers stopped working properly on the iMac that I was holding back
on. So, I had to upgrade our iMac8,1 to 10.11 (as far I could go.)
I have an older Mac in storage. Next time I can I’ll retrieve it to see what OS
X is on it. I think it is 2004 era …
Regards,
Dave
