Hi everyone,
I would like to inform you that we're planning to drop OS X 10.6 support this month or during the next few months (depending on your feedback), as part of our ongoing effort to streamline and automate the build process for X2GoClient's OS X versions.
Currently, we have to create a separate build for OS X 10.6, which, if we move to new (hosted and virtualized) build hardware, would probably double our monthly costs, so we're trying to avoid that.
Rationale: OS X 10.6 is no longer receiving security updates by Apple since February 2014.
For OS X 10.5, Apple ceased security support in September 2011. We continued to support OS X 10.5 in X2GoClient until April of 2012. That was a good 6 months over the official end of support from Apple's side.
Following that logic, we should already have dropped support for OS X 10.6 around August 2014, so it's long overdue to do so.
TL;DR: If you're currently using OS X 10.6 and have no plans or no way to upgrade to a newer release, please speak up now. We might consider providing OS X 10.6 builds of X2GoClient for longer if someone steps up and sponsors the work.
