Supporting only OS X 10.8 and newer is reasonable IMO.


There are many good and usable Apple computers that will unfortunately live on OS X 10.8 until they die.

Anything older than this can never be updated to OS X Mavericks 10.9

could QTBUG-46143 possibly be added to the list of blockers? it is a P1
bug in qt3d/qt5.5, as it does not build against the macos10.8 sdk.
A day later than promised...

I presume that the patch also takes care of building against earlier SDKs, at least as far as this particular issue goes?

What is the earliest OS X version on which 5.5 is supposed to work, officially?

For Qt3D, 10.8 is the oldest version handled by the CI. Given recent OS
X updates are free do you really need support for anything older?

Cheers,

Sean
