23.4 for Mac OS 10.14

[Marc Iwaniec]

Hi, I have a Mac under OS 10.14 and I don't update the 10.14 version. The old widows are OK, is the 10.14 version of 23, 4 and future's can be downloaded ?

No sure to which old widows you refer to. All releases can be found following the "All releases" link on stellarium.org.

I find windows versions for w 7 32 & 64 and 10+, for Mac only 11+

I see that Stellarium 23.3, 23.2 are too for OS X 11+, have you changes anything, because I work actually with Stellarium 23.3 with no problem.

By curiosity I gone to download Stellarium-23.3-qt6-macOS.zip and… surprise it don't works, message needs OS X 11+ ????

I think that it is qt6 and when I had dowloaded the 23.3 ( what date ??? ) it was qt5 perhaps.

Had tou changed anything like that ?

From what I can see macOS 10.14 was declared dead by Apple in late 2021, when we had 0.21.2 out. From the package notes of Stellarium 1.2 I can read "Stellarium-1.2-x86_64.zip: Stellarium 1.2 (v0.22.5) for macOS (x86_64; macOS 10.14+) based on Qt 5.12.12 (AppleClang 11.0.0) with media support.". There is apparently no information about 23.1-qt5-x86_64.zip and later, but you can just download and see what happens. 

Of course we are changing things. Sometimes there are technical reasons for system requirements, like your system manufacturer introducing new CPU architecture. If you keep an old computer going, you are sometimes excluded from latest versions.

Yes I understand, but I think if there is a downloadable version 23.4 qt5 for windows 7, it will be nice to have a qt5 one for Mac OS.
