Thanks very much for continuing to maintain this software.  

The latest version for OSX no longer runs on pre-Catalina versions of OSX.  Is it possible to make new versions backwards-compatible with Mojave, High Sierra, etc?  The deprecation of 32-bit libraries, introduced in Catalina, forced some of us to remain on older versions of the OS that can still run 32-bit applications.  

Thanks,
Greg

Yeah, I should have mentioned this in the announcement, my bad.
10.12 and earlier aren't supported anymore. If there are many users, I could certainly try and create another binary for them with somewhat outdated Qt libraries...

Great.  I appreciate it.  If the answer is to stay at 4.9.7 for the foreseeable future, that is acceptable as well.

So, which macOS version are you on?
I expect to maintain support for at least macOS 10.13 and later for quite a while.
It's supporting 10.11 and 10.12 that has become harder because we use features in Qt that require macOS 10.13.

The reason why we have two binaries is kinda silly. I wasn't able to create a single installer that would both work on BigSur / macOS 11.0 and work on macOS versions prior to 10.15.
The choice to make the 10.15/11.0 binary the default maybe was a mistake since the 10.13/10.14 binary in fact works on 10.15 as well, it just gets you annoying security warnings. So it seemed more end user friendly (since Apple so effectively pushes people to upgrade their OS and based on my web server logs most macOS users are indeed on 10.15) to make the new one the default...

/D

Thanks Dirk.  The earliest version I have is 10.13.

I know that someone asked me for a macOS 10.12 build. And weirdly I can't find that email anymore. Rather frustrating, given that I spent a day trying to make that work :-)

Anyway, for those of you still on macOS 10.12, here's a build that works:


This uses an older version of Qt, but as far as I can tell from my 10 minutes of testing it seems to work just fine.

If you are on new macOS versions, I'd recommend using the appropriate binary:

For 10.13 and 10.14:

For 10.15 and the BigSur beta:


enjoy

This version:

For 10.13 and 10.14:


is working fine for me on 10.12.6   What should I expect if it doesn't work?

That's... surprising. On my 10.12 system it refuses to start with an error that the application was built for a newer version of macOS
