Yes :). It is hard to build for an older Mac OS Version on newer Mac OS Version and it will require code changes to bake in the mac version we want to build. But not a ton.

Mac OS X 10.7 was released on Jul 1 2011, i.e. 7 years ago.
Mac OS X 10.9 was released on Oct 22 2013, i.e. 5 years ago.

If we require 10.9 we will loose mac users that have macs that are older than 7 years. Are we fine with this, Gun?

I currently favor the approach of having two Mac builds, i.e. Toni's for 10.9 and later and mine for 10.7, however that might be confusing to non-technical Mac OS users (of there are a ton).

Toni, can you also share your current build procedure? I can probably adapt the nightly build to also run on my laptop which is quite current. So I could produce two different releases in the nightlies.
