Hello all,

While my download of Mountain Lion seems to be crawling along, I wanted to 
bring up the discussion of what versions to support with Adium again.

As far as I know, the rule has always been supporting the current and previous 
version. Adium 1.5.x has supported 10.6.8 and up, and I propose to leave that 
this way. I think 1.5.x has been a pretty stable release, and with (*fingers 
crossed*) most of the transcript viewer related crashes and bugs fixed, I don't 
think it'll need much extra work.

From my recent commit on (http://hg.adium.im/adium/rev/a8fef30df88b), default 
will require 10.7 to build. This gives us two options for 1.6: branch from just 
before this, let it stabilize for a while and then release, with only the new 
preferences as a new major feature. Or make 1.6 require 10.7+, add some more 
new features with the shiny new APIs, and then release.

My preference would be the second. If we update the UI that much, it would be a 
lot nicer if we could use the new localization features of Lion. I also don't 
think it would work very well having to test on 3 different OS versions.

But I just know some people are going to disagree with me. :) Our Sparkle stats 
suggest the number of Lion users surpassed our number of SL users only a couple 
of weeks ago while it has been out for more than a year.

So, thoughts?

Regards,
Thijs Alkemade
