Poll: Mac OSX users, what version are you running?

[Gavin Andresen]

If you're running Bitcoin-Qt on a Mac, what version of OSX are you running?

I'm trying to get an idea of how many people are still running 10.5, because supporting that version of OSX is starting to become painful (it is almost 5 years old now...).

And before somebody asks: yes, signing the Bitcoin-Qt app so it plays nicely with 10.8's "Gatekeeper" is near the top of the TODO list.

10.6.8 snow leopard

planning to upgrade to 10.8 sometime next year

Running 10.6.8 as well.  You are planning to upgrade to 10.8 sometime next year? 10.9 will probably release soon after.

Thank you Gavin for not forgetting about us fellow fruit heads.

Does this have anything to do with September's announcement?

OS X 10.6, because upgrading would lose me the ability to run XCode 3.

Any reason you don't want to run the latest Xcode that Apple provides for free in the App Store?

Probably not so much these days - used to be that some things didn't support Xcode 4.  Also you need Xcode 3 to build for old OS X versions.

Now, we may be getting to the point where everyone starts moving to Xcode 4 and dropping OS X 10.5 support - that's presumably the reason behind Gavin's question.  But, the fact that Gavin is asking this question means, I think, that like many open source projects Bitcoin is currently still building with Xcode 3.  That's as good a reason for me as any to stay with 10.6 so I can still use Xcode 3. (Xcode 3 won't run on 10.7.)

You can always setup dual boot (Mountain Lion & Snow Leopard) if you want to run older software.

Because repartitioning my disk would be a pain.  And it's a laptop so adding an additional disk isn't really an option.

You can remove the optical drive and put another HD in...
