dropping support for osx 10.4 x86
lilypad will not work on osx 10.4 x86. It works on 10.4 ppc. I do not consider bugs in osx-10.4 x86 to be release-critical; they should be filed as normal type-build bugs. Somebody may want to update the download page accordingly to avoid giving users the wrong impression. If somebody can make 10.4-x86 work, then it would be great to officially support it again in the future. However, I think that's too far away; delaying 2.16.0 for that doesn't make sense. - Graham ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

In case anybody thinks I'm being unfair to osx users: one of the strongest reasons to move forward with 2.16 right now is so that we can get a stable lilypond in the hands of 10.7 users. Or, to put it in my terms, to make those annoying 'why doesn't lilypond run on 10.7?' people shut up. This decision is a balance between 10.7 users vs. 10.4-x86 users; the sanity of main developers vs. other stuff, etc. I think that moving forward with 2.16 is the right thing to do. - Graham ___ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel

There is no reason to add a separate download for lilypad on 10.4-x86. Users of 10.4-x86 can upgrade software, or they can use any other text editor to do lilypond work. The only thing not working is the GUI app, which isn't really necessary. I was going to propose this exact solution.
