--- Comment #25 from Norbert Thiebaud <nthieb...@gmail.com> --- It is not about machine... The machine that do the 4.1 release is the same that do the 4.0 release... It is a question fo SDK support and requirement... Requiring 10.4/10.5, which are not supported by Apple, is a pain and is blocking development. We decided that 4.0 will be the last version that we support, that support 10.4/10.5... and for 4.1+ we bump the SDK requirement to 10.6. So no, this is not a hardware consideration (although it would become one rapidly, since finding Mac that can do 10.4 build is getting quite problematic... The release box is 5 years old already.. and will die someday) But a practical design choice... We dropped support for Windows 2000, Win95 and OS/2 too mind you... we just can't afford to support platform for-ever... Some volunteer recently worked on back-porting 4.1 to 10.5 PPC... that is most welcome, and patch in that direction will be regarded favorably... if there is a community that want to take on the burden, more power to it... We just will not continue to provide binary for it as part of our normal release, nor continue to impose restriction on our devs wrt to compatibility with 10.4/10.5 iow if someone were to pick up the challenge, that someone would need to expect breakage, as master will not try to use API that are backward compat up to 10.4 anymore.... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
