Jun 1, 2026June 2026: Focused on cross-platform compatibility with macOS, delivering a major OS upgrade to broaden the product’s usable base and simplify future maintenance. Implemented macOS Compatibility Upgrade by raising the minimum supported macOS version from 10.7 to 10.15 across configuration files and documentation, ensuring compatibility with newer systems. This work was implemented via commit 40473e19a085a601df10a411b2733a76c186f463 (docs: Fix required MacOS version (#12511)). No major bugs were reported this month; emphasis on stability and maintainability. Result: expanded macOS market readiness, smoother onboarding for users on recent macOS versions, and a stronger baseline for upcoming platform updates. Technologies demonstrated: cross-platform configuration management, documentation discipline, and Git-based traceability.
