For the time being 10.4 is still supported.

The reason we're considering dropping 10.4 is the following. In 10.5,  
Apple rewrote the Objective C runtime and introduced a new API. The  
old API still works for 32-bit PowerPC and 32-bit x86 applications,  
but the new API is required if you want to use Cocoa from a 64-bit  
application. This is the reason Factor doesn't run in 64-bit mode on  
newer Intel Macs right now.

Daniel Ehrenberg is planning on writing an Objective C 2.0 binding,  
and once this is done I don't want to keep the old Objective C bridge  
around anymore. At this point, we will drop 10.4 support.
