I agree, and basically it's unavoidable. So probably this will be the last release that supports 10.5. It won't be much of a loss, and a lot less pain. I am not sure how 10.6 support is on Xcode 4? There are still several things that can go wrong, such as library version incompatibilities, when the 10.6 SDK is not used; right now we're using the 10.5 SDK otherwise it won't run on 10.5. Has anyone tested whether BibDesk can run on 10.6 when it is built using the 10.7 SDK? And then there's 64 bits, which I would like to get when 10.5 is dropped, but I have no idea how to get that compatibility on the embedded frameworks. For now I will try to do a release somewhere in the coming days. BTW, Another issue is the Wiki. Has anyone looked at it? I believe it will stop working next week...
