Replying to [comment:36 was]:
> I think we should consider ending support for 10.4 in Sage-5.0 (where
we'll surely fully support 10.7). OS X 10.4 is from 2005, and it hasn't
had security updates in since mid-2009.
Could be worth asking Harald how many downloads there have been of this.
There seems to be a steady trickle of folks using this. At the same time,
I understand the sentiment. Though see this amusing quote from
[http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ TenFourFox]'s website:
{{{
But we were horrified when Mozilla delivered the one-two punch of
dropping
both support for Tiger and our beloved Power Macs from Firefox. A quad
2.5GHz G5
isn't worth using to surf the web? Really? And you guys still support
Windows XP?
