Between the number 13 and the Mayan Apocalypse, I thought we'd throw the towel in this year :-).
It is coincidence however that it happened to be what would have become the "2013" version. We won't be moving back to the yearly release cycle even after the next major release next year. We try to keep OS support as long as we can, but when it starts to become difficult to develop for using the tools Apple suggests you use for 10.6, 10.7 and 10.8, we have to stat moving away from it. We're at the point we cannot make some needed technological updates and feature changes without moving on. The other factor here is the low number of 10.5 and PPC users we have currently. It's hard to justify development time and QA costs when it gets under a handful of percentage points of users. This used to be not as big of a deal when Apple charged much more for OS upgrades, but at $29, people are moving to new versions much quicker and Apple is dropping support for their older technologies faster than in the past. As for the plug-ins, we'll try and help with support of those as much as we can. -- Justin Phillips Portfolio Manager - Notation Products MakeMusic, Inc 763-772-3964 On 5/30/12 8:44 PM, "Robert Patterson" <[email protected]> wrote: >I think they just wanted to avoid the "13" moniker. > >I am not at all happy to hear they are dropping support for 10.5, but by >the time it happens I may not care as much.
